Neon Stripes and Glitter

I got my order of China Glaze Electric Night polishes in today and I could not wait to play. As soon as I saw the glitter in other people's swatches I knew it would be the first thing I used. They are something completely different from this brand. I have never seen a neon glitter from them before and I am loving it.

I will apologize ahead of time for the amount of photos but I just really loved this one.

I used two coats of Orly French white as a base, two coats of China Glaze Let the beat drop(amazing glittery goodness), and applied a thick layer of Violet-vibes over the straight nail vinyls. I pulled the vinyls off immediately to keep the lines as crisp as possible. After I left it all sit for about 5 minutes I top coated with Seche Vite. I hope you all love these as much as I do.

Products used

I do have one bonus photo to show you because it was just too stinky cute not to.

This is my 3 year old daughter's hand. She picked the polish up and held it under the lightbox until I took a photo. I can definitely tell she is going to be into all things nails. I can't wait!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Easter Mani Ideas

A few days ago Nailstamp4fun posted this amazing mani of Easter eggs. As soon as I saw it I thought I would give the plate another go. Due to my short nails I have always felt that the image was a bit big for my nails, I am very pleased with how my second attempt came out.

Cinderella Nails

Up next in my Disney Princess series is Cinderella. I just wanted to keep this one simple. Nothing too elaborate. The stamp on my middle finger came out a bit crooked but that's ok.

The base color for all of my nails is the gorgeous Fresh Paint Glass Slipper. As soon as I saw it I knew instantly I wanted it for this look. I used two plates from Mo-You London Tourist collection, 03 and 21. No Place Like Chrome was used to stamp the glass slipper and Klean Color Black for the silhouette. This polish is a Semi-Matte finish wish I am not a huge fan of so I applied Seche Vite to help gloss it up a bit.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
