will neon leopard print ever get old?

Will neon leopard print ever get old? No. Not for me.

This awesome neon leopard was made with 2 of the beautiful China Glaze Summer Neons which I showed you yesterday! The base color is China Glaze - Hang-Ten Toes and the middle of the spots is China Glaze - Love's A Beach.
I did the spots with a dotting tool and the black polish is Essence - Black is Back.

I could wear this manicure over and over! It is so bright and fun and pink!
Just looking at the pictures makes me want to do it again... Seriously.

Pretty much all of the summer neons would make great leopard print combos. I'm sure I will be doing a bunch more throughout the summer!
Does leopard print get old for you? I hope not!

China Glaze Summer Neons Collection - swatches and review!

Good afternoon lovlies! Today I have a big shiny neon post for you guys, with a ton of pictures. A ton!
All of these polishes are gorgeous and fun and bright, and I can't wait to share them with you.

I was lucky enough to win this entire collection from China Glaze on their Facebook!
I totally did a happy dance or two (or seven) when I found out.

I had planned on buying like eight of them anyway, so this really was the perfect collection for me to win. I'm so thankful!

Please keep reading to see swatches of all 12 of these babies.

my first mani with the 2012 bundle monster plates!

Hi everyone!

Today I'm gonna show you the first mani I did with the brand spankin' new plates from Bundle Monster!

There are a lot of really awesome images on these plates, and I had a hard time picking which one to use first.
In my indecisive mood, I ended up picking one I normally wouldn't. But I think the result is cute!

This is a floral image from BM-321 stamped on top of China Glaze Pink Plumeria.

I think the flowers kinda remind me of snowflakes so it feels a little weird.
It is cute though!

I love love love the new Bundle Monster plates. I'm so thankful to have won them! There will be many manis coming up soon with the awesome new images. Many manis.Many mani. Okay.

Here's a pic of Pink Plumeria on its own. I will soon be posting swatches of all 12 China Glaze Summer Neons. I am working on swatching the rest of them today! And then there will be a big spammy neon post. Woo!

Have a lovely Monday!

Color Club / Funky Fingers Neon Fractured Collection

Good morning!

Today I've got a crackle post! Love me some crackle.
My friend Lori is the Crackle Fairy and she sent me some of the new Funky Fingers Neon Crackles, which are the same as the new Color Club Neon Fractured polishes! (FF and CC are made by the same company and almost all FF are CC dupes.)
Lori and I share a huge love for Color Club, so of course I wanted these polishes.

I decided to use all four of the ones I got for a crackle skittle mani!

Pink = Funky Fingers - Neon Pink Crackle / Color Club - Burst Thing's First
Purple = Funky Fingers - Neon Purple Crackle / Color Club - Shock Rock
Blue = Funky Fingers - Neon Blue Crackle / Color Club - Take a Crack At It
Green = Funky Fingers - Neon Green Crackle / Color Club - Living On The Edge
(There is also an orange and a yellow but I didn't want those.)

These all worked so well and are so bright and fun! The only issue I had was that the green one left the white polish underneath with a light greeny-yellow tint.
I haven't tried it over other colors to see if it leaves the tint behind on everything, but I'd say it does. It probably would be difficult to notice over other colors, though!

Awkward 2-hand photo time. Posting it despite the awkwardness because I just love these nails!
I'm pumped to try these out over more colors. Endless combinations!
