Neon Sunglasses At Night

Hey Everyone! I am quite tired today. Can I just say that I HATE basketball!! I used to be a fan when I was younger but pretty much lost all interest in the sport. Df loves basketball and so we watched the college tournament and I got sucked in and more than likely started to develop an ulcer. NOW we have the NBA playoffs and I really don't know how I even have a stomach at this point. I get extremely hostile yelling at the tv, having my blood pressure skyrocket and my stomach work on that ulcer all over a sport I don't even like. I don't know what it is about that stupid sport but it keeps sucking me in. I am so tired today after staying up late to watch the stupid game go into overtime last night. Thank goodness there is only one more game, I am going to try and avoid watching it because it isn't good for me lol.

Today I have a fun mani for you that brought me back to my childhood and my love for neon and 80s music. Every time I looked at my nails I would sing Corey Hart's Sunglasses at Night in my head.

I started with L.A. Girls 3D Effects polish in Black Illusion.

I used Finger Paints Silkscreen Green, Iconic Orange, Warhol Wannabe and Sinful Colors striper in Yellow Me First for the stamping. Gosh I love these neons.

I used Cheeky plate CH37 for the full nail sunglasses pattern.

I actually did this mani by stamping the sunglasses on my nails in white first. I then made stamper decals using the neon colors and placed it over the white so that the neon would be more vibrant. I LOVE how it came out!

Black Illusion didn't show it's holo much when I wore this mani and it definitely didn't let me see it when I was taking pictures. It still served as a great base color even if you couldn't see that it was holo.

I did each line of sunglasses in a different color so I had multiple colors on my nail. I love the glasses where a couple of the colors mixed and created two tone colored glasses. I used to have some of those when I was a kid.

I really want a pair of neon sunglasses now. When I was young my parents would take us to the flea market on the weekends and I got several pairs of cheap neon rubbery sunglasses. I would totally rock those if I had them now.

My mom still makes fun of my for my obsession with neon when I was a kid. I had some pretty awesome neon socks that were really thin so I could wear three pairs at a time and scrunch them so you could see each color. They matched perfectly with my neon tie dye shirt.

That's all for now :)

Brilliant Blue

Hey Everyone!!! Well I totally forgot to blog yesterday. I had thought about it once but then forgot to actually do it. It has been a busy week. Today I took off my last gelish mani and realized that aside from the two nails I already patched I had yet another one that wanted to tear on the side. NOT COOL! My poor little nails are pretty damaged to begin with and they were made worse after the last gel mani that I decided to not take off the proper way. Today's break was the last straw and I decided that we are going to nubbinize and do some treatments. I completely nubbinized the suckers then drowned them in oil. I am going to spend the next couple of days drowing them in oil and pretty much leaving them alone until I find a treatment I want to try. I don't necessarily believe in nail treatments because our nails are dead and how much treating can you do to something that is dead BUT I feel like I need to try something. I am going to leave them alone for the weekend and see how it goes. I have one more post ready that I can put up tomorrow but I might take a little break, pun not intended, until they look more presentable. The biggest bummer about the whole thing is I have nail plates on the way AND I just got a ton of nail polish yesterday. Actually I think I will make a post about it :)

ANYWAY here is my last blue mani. I swear I had a couple more but they must have been planned in my head and not actually done on my nails. Sometimes I can't keep up with myself.

Today I have LA GIRL Brilliant Blue from their 2013 3D Effects collection. It is a gorgeous deep blue scattered holo.

I don't know why I only have three pictures for you today. Well, I do know why, I was only taking pictures of my right hand and they all looked the same lol

The pictures didn't do this one justice. It is a really pretty deep blue and the scattered holo effect adds a ton of depth to it. VERY pretty polish. I can deal with all the polish companies jumping on the holo bandwagon!

I ordered these through a friend in the nail polish community because we don't have Rite Aid down here and that is the only place I know for sure they can be found. I have yet to see them anywhere locally but I know they are around online at etaliers like Cherry Culture. I only ordered three but I immediately regret not getting the others. They are really very pretty. Now I would love to find a really deep emerald green holo! Yes, that would be awesome!

That's all for now!!
