Gotsta be the loudest pink ever.
Truly calls for skin bronzed by the sun and sand between your toes.
I do need a vacation.
China Glaze – “Flip-Flop Fantasy”
I could do dots anytime anywhere.
Still my very favorite.
Always.
Just a dot girl.
China Glaze – “For Audrey”
It actually feels like it’s the same time of year as Carnaval…. just in a different location. It feels like February in Chicago. You wouldn’t believe we are about 2 weeks from SUMMER! I need the temperature to rise.
This design just put me in the mind of some Brasilian festivities….
China Glaze – “Flip Flop Fantasy” & “Sun Worshipper”
China Glaze – “Sky High-Top”
….from no-chip polish, that is.
As practical as no-chip manicures seem to be, they completely eliminate the absolute FUN of manicures!!!!
I need to go back to the “convenience” of changing my polish and nail designs at least two or three times a week. No-chip is just way too much maintenance for that scenario. I know, I know…. people LOVE no-chip! Some anyway….
Lots of people complain that it thins their nails, removal is a burden…. it’s more expensive…. etc., etc… But, of course, it has supporters too: long-wearing, super shiny, strengthens nails, less maintenance, non-smudging immediately after service, manicure that stands up to nail abuse, lol.
It would be practical for me, while I dabble in acetone every day, to have a no-chip. BUT IT’S NOT AS MUCH FUN!!! I promise.
So back to regular polish right now.
China Glaze – “Escaping Reality”
OPI – “ Goldeneye” layered with “When Monkeys Fly!”
My nails over the last month and a half…… I promise, I’ll get my words back soon
Sinful Colors – “Beautiful Girl” & “Pull Over”
Some random….really pretty color from the Butterfly’s stash
China Glaze – “Flip Flop Fantasy”
PRADA window display/ LaPalm Gel II – “Extreme French Pink” & “Midnight Black” (no chip polish)
LaPalm Gel II – “By The Bay” w/Missoni design
ibd Just Gel – “Whipped Cream”
Sinful Colors – “Innocent” & “Midnight Blue”
Sally Hansen Nail Lacquer Strips –“Love Letter”
Sinful Colors – “24/7”
Inspiration for this design came from Michaela’s instagram post of her gift bag.
Though I feel like I’ve been neglecting my blog…. I haven’t really been neglecting my nails. So… this is just me playing instant catch up.
Currently:
LaPalm Gel II – “French White” & “Midnight Black”
& silver nail art striper
This is a no-chip design, so I’ll try to get good wear time out of all the time it took to actually paint them.
