Neons - Milani Totally 80's and Milani Awesome Orange

Hey Everyone!! I feel like it's been so long since I last posted. Hope everyone had a good weekend and Mother's Day :) For this post I am going to show you two different polishes, they were both a swatch request from Fey @ The Nail Experiment.  These 2 colors are pretty much colors you would see on a traffic cone and a safety vest LOL they are so bright!! First is called Totally 80's - since I was just swatching these and didn't do a full manicure I only used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White as the basecoat. I then used 3 coats of Totally 80's and 1 coat of SV. I really like this color and it's very bright! All these pics were taken on a cloudy rainy day, but they are pretty color accurate.

The next color is called Awesome Orange - again I used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White and 3 coats of Awesome Orange. These first couple of pics aren't quite as accurate as the rest, Awesome Orange glows a little more than these pics show, but the rest of the pics are a fair representation of the color IRL. 

Have you tried any of the Milani Neons? If so, what are your favorites?

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink! Unforgettable Moments - Liquid Candy

Hey Everyone! So my power has been out until a couple of hours ago - so that is why I am so late on my Pink Wednesday post :) Anyway - everything is good now... so on to the polish! For this manicure I used one of the new untrieds that I recently bought from Payless Shoe Store - this polish is called Liquid Candy and it's from Unforgettable Moments. It was requested that I swatch this polish by Shadow - one of my awesome followers! So here it is :) I used Essie Feed Me and Orly Top2Bottom as my basecoats - then used 2 coats of Liquid Candy and then finished with SV. I have to say that I really loved the name of this polish and was part of the reason that I wanted it lol. But, it was a little thick for my liking... but what can you expect for a nail polish that was a couple of bucks. I have 2 other colors from this brand that I haven't tried yet, so I am hoping that I will like those shades as I do this one :)

These are the other shades of Unforgettable Moments polishes.

So there it is!! Let me know what you think! Have you tried this brand yet?

Easter Manicure - Bunny Peep Manicure :)

Happy Easter Everyone - or if you don't celebrate Easter - Happy Sunday!! :) Hope everyone is having a great weekend - we have been having so much rain here lately that I am soooo ready for some sunshine! So I hope that some of you are getting that lol
For this manicure I used Essie Feed Me and China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat - I then used 2 coats of Essie Lilacism - which I think is the perfect Spring/Easter color :) For my accent finger I used 2 coats of China Glaze Lemon Fizz - then for the Bunny Peep I used Essie Mint Candy Apple and Revlon Hot for Chocolate for the eyes and the mouth and used SV as the top coat. Now on to the pics :) Let me know what you think!

By the way - I really don't even like peeps lol but.... I have put them in the micromave before and they puff up really big :) LOL So if you happen to get some peeps for Easter and you don't really like them... that is something you can do to enjoy them lol :)

Have a Great Day Everyone!!

I was very mad at TD for awhile - but I am sure they will get a second chance :)

I bought these from a salon at our local mall - called Maxx and Mia. Honestly I wasn't really that psyched about the whole shatter craze, but decided I would give it a fair try myself and not just go off pics. I tried it the other day and I have to say, it's pretty cool! I think I like watching it shatter more than anything lol

I bought two of these b/c I will probably be putting this in the giveaway as well.

So that is it! Let me know what you think and if there are any you want to see swatched :)

Have a good day!

Revlon Electric & China Glaze Lighthouse

Hey Everyone!! Today I have another mani that I did a couple of weeks ago... with all this rain we have been having I am hoping to inspire some sunshine! :) Let's hope it works lol! So for this mani I used Essie Feed Me as the base coat - I then used 2 coats of Revlon - Electric #305 and I also used China Glaze Lighthouse on my accent finger - just to add a little extra to the mani. I then used Seche Vite as my topcoat. I really love both of these polishes - they are so bright and fun!! I got a lot of compliments on this as well - which always makes me feel good when other people notice my polish :) So here are the pics - let me know what you think!! :)
