NOTD: Baby Blue and Fuzz!

Hey guys!

Just wanted to hop on really quick and post my nail of the day.

Direct Sunlight

Natural Light, Shade
Color Club Factory Girl 2 Coats
Fuzz-Sea from Sally Hansen - 1 coat on accent nail

I love this combo! Its really cute and summery. Still getting used to the Fuzzy Coat polishes, but I think this color combination works well. My accent nail has 2 coats of top coat over it to smooth it out over the fuzzies.

That's it today. Really quick post!

Thanks for reading!

2 Summer Coral Polishes

Hey guys!

Its almost summer!!! I'm loving neons and summer colors, especially because its been really really hot in LA lately. Sunny So-Cal... woo?

Anyways, Today's post is 2 of my favorite coral polishes I just picked up recently. One of them is a really close dupe to my ALL TIME favorite toe color for summer. Here's the pictures:

Direct Sunlight

Natural Light, Shade
Bikini by Julie G. 3 coats. Holy hell, neon! I don't usually like neon pinks or corals on my fingers, and this color isn't an exception. This is basically gonna be a toe color, and its a really close dupe for China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, though this seems a tiny bit more pinky. Formula was pretty good, but as usual it dries to a matte finish, so topcoat is necessary

Direct Sunlight

Natural Light, Shade
Maybelline Color Show in Coral Crush. 2 Coats. This is a really pretty true coral polish. Again, this is a color that I'll get more use out of on my toes rather than my hands, but its so pretty and I think its perfect for my toes!

I'm loving the coral trend and I'm excited to wear these on my toes if I can ever manage to pry Flip Flop Fantasy off my toes (I just love it too much!)

Thanks for reading!

NOTD: Neon + Stamping

Hey everyone!

Today's NOTD was something I came by by accident. I knew I wanted to do something neon because I'm obsessed with neons lately (check out my Summer Neon Gradient Tutorial) so I just started painting my nails with the green, but I had this idea to stamp a neon over white to see what it would look like.... this is what I came up with.


For this manicure I used China Glaze Kiwi Cool-ada, Sally Hansen Whirlwind White, and China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy to stamp with. I actually really like how this turned out! I used one of the Salon Express stamping plates for the flower design.

What do you think? Are you obsessed with any types of shades lately?

Thanks for reading!

Current Mani: Summer in January!

So, It is currently 80 degrees where I live and its been unseasonably hot for the last few days. It really feels like summer in So-Cal so I decided to do summer nails!


China Glaze Turned up Turquoise with Art You Wondering By Finger Paints on the accent nail. I love Turned up Turquoise. Its a neon teal, what's not to love?? This is a combination I would usually reserve for mid-July, but since it feels more like summer than the dead of winter, I feel like this is appropriate! As much as I like this mani, I really wish it was cold. I like cold weather better than hot. Its supposed to start cooling down this weekend and I'm really excited for that.

Thanks for reading, until next time!
