Watermelon Nails

Hi all today I have for you my idea from a very popular post Anne posted awhile ago. So when Anne and I received the Neon collision set to review I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! I started with Fired Up Fuchsia that is two coats! I'm in love!!!! Seriously a neon that's BAM in your face neon without a base of white and isn't streaky! WINNER winner chicken dinner! Here are the pics...


Here is the neon collision set...you start with your base coat let it dry...then you take the clear that is in the box (it's a bonder for the glitter). I then let it dry but not completely and put my glitter on (press it on with my finger). Then let it finish drying.

Here is the whole set out and about. You get a brush, bonder, and 4 neon glitters.
I also used the Black from Liner Basics made by Salon Perfect (also sent for review) for the seeds.

Here it is! It's my way of cute watermelons. First picture I didn't use a topcoat. After I put a topcoat on it ate away at the glitter as you can see from the other pictures. I added a little bit more glitter on top of the glitter that melted. 



So I really liked this..after the glitter melted I was sad. I think you need to be careful of the top coat you use if you are going to use this glitter maybe test it out. Over all this is an easy to use product but it does make a mess with the glitter. You can find Salon Perfect at your local Walmart. Thanks all for checking this post out!

Beautiful Neons!

Hi all I'm back with another review for Gelish Goak of Gel polish that was sent to me. Today I have for you Pacific Sunset. I LOVE this color! Same as Wednesday's post I used the Basix System to start off. These pictures are shown on fifth day of wear (as we had some cloudy weather when I put this on). Pacific Sunset (two coats) is a beautiful neon gel that I wore for a week and a half. I really enjoyed the color and the brightness that didn't dull with age.



If you are looking for neon gel's I would 100% recommend the neons by Gelish Pacific Sunset, Rub Me The Sarong Way, Mali-Blu Me Away, Lime All The Way, Tahiti Hottie, Rockin' The Reef. I would also recommend the Basix Kit as I had a little trouble using the gel without it.
Gelish can be found at your local Sally's or on Sally's online store. Gelish is on Facebook, Twitter, and InstaGram.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Gelish gets rockin' with Neon!

Hi all today's post is a review for products I was sent from Gelish! Yes I have fallen in love with Gelish product's. I started off with the Gelish starter System to prep my nails(products at Sally's). The Basix Kit pretty much (which includes Mini Gelish Ph Bond, Mini Gelish Foundation, Mini Gelish Top It Off, Mini Gelish Nourish, Mini Gelish Cleanser, and Mini Gelish Artificial Nail Remover)   which provides everything except the gel color and light. So I started with filing also lightly buffing the top of my nail and cleaning my nail with the nail surface cleanse. I then applied the ph bond to my nails and let it dry. Next the foundation gel went down on my nails and tips and I had that under my led light for 5 seconds. I then applied this beautiful neon by Gelish called Rockin' Reef that is a great neon coral (which cured for 30 seconds per coat in my led light) which was two coats. Next I applied the Gelish Top it Off  gel sealer and cured that for 20 seconds. I wiped off the tacky coat that formed with the Gelish cleanser and then applied the cuticle oil to my cuticles. Let's check the pictures out!





I went ahead and tried to do some nail art on the fourth day and used Gelish Lime all the Time, Mali-Blue Me Away, Rub Me The Sarong Way, and Tahiti Hottie. I liked the way it turned out. I didn't use the pink (Pacific Sunset) because I was afraid it wouldn't show up. 

I found the Gelish system very easy to use. I liked the product (which I kept on for a week and a half with no problems) and the ease of use. Gelish can be found at your local Sally's or on Sally's online store. Gelish is on Facebook, Twitter, and InstaGram. 
I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I enjoyed wearing the polish.

Feeling a little grey!

Hey everybody:) Today I wanted to share my blue and grey mani that I manage to keep for about 5 minutes before I broke a nail and hurt my back. First a moment of silence for the broken nail (I had to file all of them down and now I have nubbins!) ____Silence____ Thank you! And as far as my back not sure what I did to it but it hurts :(
This mani is one I've wanted to try for a while and finally got the stickers to give it a go. I started off with tips of China Glaze For Audrey and painted my ring fingernail. After that had finished drying I added to the tips a line in Orly Decoded (love that grey!). I gave my ring finger a little more dry time just to make sure the tape would not peel polish up. Okay then I added my tape and painted Decoded on top (two coats) of the ring finger. Finished with a top coat and instant nail art!


This is such a easy and fun way to dress up you mani... love! I'm already missing my nails, hope they don't take to long to grow out. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this look.

Happy Polishing Everyone!
Love,
~Anne~

Neon Palm Trees

Hey everybody :) I just wanted to share a quick post of the mani I'm rocking this weekend- it's Neon Palm Trees! I have been doing palm trees for a couple of summers now and wanted to try something different with them. I started off with a black top coat let that dry and painted on a white palm tree. After that had dried I got my neons out and did a ROYGBIV (colors of the rainbow) on the white palm tree to make them look like rainbow trees. Added a top matte coat and BAM Neon Palm Trees!



I hope y'all have a great weekend! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of these neon trees!

Happy Polishing Everybody!
Love,
~Anne~

Who's ready for some neon?

Hi all! I have to show you what I'm wearing today this is going to be a real quick post. I couldn't decide on the neon I wanted to wear so I decided on using all of them. This is China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, Celtic Sun, Orange Knockout, Pool Party, Turned up Turquoise and Flying Dragon over a white base. I wanted something unique for this mani so I did a brush stroke. Very simple and easy to do! 




The last two pictures really capture the neon-ness of these! I hope everyone has a wonderful day and weekend! Tell me what's your favorite neon?

Salon Perfect swatch and review #2

Hey everybody:) Today I have some more Salon Perfect to share with you, the nail art foil was sent to me for review. So yes I went to "Wally World" and found more neon polish sets and picked up one I just couldn't leave... I tell myself that I needed it to swatch with the nail foils :)

The nail foil pack comes with glue and 4 different nail foils- gold, silver, gold with a design and silver with a design. Today I'm showing you the silver with the design. I was really hesitant to use these cause I had never used them before, but its pretty straight forward, put glue on where you want and let it dry until tacky and clear- then put the nail foil over the nail and rub gently- add top coat (don't freak out if it crinkles up, it will go back to normal) . That's it! I was pretty amazed on how easy it was and how pretty it looked. Now as far as wear this is maybe a going out on the town kinda thing, mine didn't last as long as I hoped it would about two and a half days and then it started to peel away:(





The nail polish that I bought to wear here is Haute Pink. I loved the color in the bottle, but on me it turned a orange color. So overall I think the nail foils are a good idea if you have some place special to go and if it is a one day kinda thing. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of these foils.
