Point Me To The Party

Can all of China Glaze's glitters please be as pretty as the ones from the Electric Nights collection?!? They lay beautifully on the nail, don't require a lot of fighting to get on the brush, and have a multitude of colors and shapes. I did sponge this one over white instead of brushing simply because I wanted to get as many glitter colors as I could on my nails. I will say it definitely isn't necessary. You can easily just use the brush to apply and still get great glitter payoff.

I used several of their cremes for the watermarble accent nail. I started off with using a thin coat of Orly French white as a base for all my nails. For the accent nail I used Daisy know my name?, Treble maker, Uv meant to be, Home sweet house music, Violet-vibes, and Glow with the flow. I do wish the marbling had come out a bit better but oh well. This look is supposed to be all about the glitter anyways.

When you look at the bottle shot to be honest it looks a little plain, but once you actually put this on it is super neon. I see this being my favorite pedicure glitter for the summer. I do have one more glitter from this collection to post but I am still waiting on it to be delivered. Keep an eye out for it in the next couple of posts.

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.

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.
