Neon Flowers

I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday! 

Nothing says the warm weather is coming like a bright neon manicure. Claire's Flashy and Milani Fresh Teal go together nicely, especially with the dried flower accent I added. Fresh Teal matches the flower perfectly. I used two coats of each polish. I love these smooth creamy neons, no white needed underneath.

Claire's nail polish retails for $5 at in store and online. Milani retails for $3-5 at various stores (a list can be found on their website) and sites. The dried flowers retail for $6.08 (for a set) at Born Pretty Store, and they offer free shipping worldwide. Use the code AHL91 to receive 5% off your Born Pretty purchase.

China Glaze Whirled Away

I hope you are enjoying your Sunday! I was very excited when I saw that a mainstream brand came out with a black and white glitter. They have been extremely popular in the indie polish world. However, this particular one leaves a lot to be desired.

China Glaze Whirled Away is a clear base with black string, large hex, and white extra large hex glitter. The base is thick and the glitter is difficult to place. You do not even see only of the white glitter here because they were so hard to fish out. This is one coat and some fished out pieces over Pure Ice Super Star! and Claire's Lime Yours. If you want black and white glitter, in my opinion, you are better off going the indie route. I plan to.

Rainbow Favorites Day 7 - Pink

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday! Today is the last day of the rainbow challenge. And today's color happens to be my favorite polish color. So picking just one pink polish was hard. I couldn't pick just one, so I chose three.

China Glaze Sangria, Claire's Candy Shop, and Love My Nails Palest Mauve. Sangria is a hot pink shimmer. Nothing especially unique, but oh so pretty. Candy Shop is a pink jelly packed with multicolored and multi-shaped hex glitter. I promise it lays and appears much more flat than in the photo. For some reason, the glitter looks bumpy here. But if you look at my previous post with this polish, it looks perfectly smooth. Palest Mauve is a pale mauve pink creme, just as the name implies. Its a tad more mauve in reality and has been a favorite pink of mine for a long time. I even went as far as to grab a back up bottle of it. The application on all of these polishes is great. They all require two coats for opacity, though I added a third of Candy Shop for more glitter.

Claire's retails for $5 in store. China Glaze retails for $5-8 a bottle at Sally Beauty Supply, Ulta, and various other stores/sites. Love My Nails retail for $1 at Bari Cosmetics.

Doing this challenge has been so much fun. I hope everyone has enjoyed seeing my favorite colors. I know I have enjoyed seeing what other bloggers chose.

Claire's Candy Shop

I hope you are enjoying your Thursday! I have a pretty glittering pink polish to show you today.

Claire's Candy Shop is a pink jelly packed with multicolored and multi-shaped glitter. The application was great. The glitter spreads out evenly and it only took two coats to be opaque. I honestly expected more layers being a jelly. I absolutely love this polish! Throwing glitter into a neutral color is just genius.

If you've been searching for Deborah Lippmann Candy Shop, this Candy Shop is ironically a dupe for it.

Claire's retails for $5 in store.
