Bright Gradient

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday! Today, I have a bright fun combination to show you. I wanted some cheer me up nails, so I decided to do a bright color and holo glitter.

I started with Color Club Limelight, a bright green creme, as my base. The application is great. All the brightness of a neon without needing to layer it over white. It was opaque in two coats. Once it was mostly dry, I sponged Color Club Golden Coast on the tips. I love Golden Coast. Its a clear base with with small gold and holo glitter.

I purchased a small bottle of Seche Vite to see how it compares to my Poshe top coat. I wore this manicure for truck day at work. We are talking eight hours of unloading boxes, opening boxes, stocking shelves, and whatnot. It takes a toll on my nail polish. Yesterday I only had two tiny chips. Normally I would have major tip wear and chips. I'm going to test it with another polish later and see if it was a fluke.

Fingers retail for $2 or 3/$5 at Five Below. Cosmetic Arts retail for $2 at Ross (I'm unsure where else they are sold, if anywhere else).

Speckled Green & Pink

I hope you are enjoying your Monday! Its Monkey See, Monkey Do time again. Basically you take inspiration from or recreate a mani done by someone else.

I took inspiration from this post by Jen of The Exotic Lacquer. Mine are a bit different. I used Julep Cameron and Cosmetic Arts Limelight as my base colors. Both two coats each. Then I did one coat of Love & Beauty Black Knight. I love this look.

Cosmetic Arts retail for $2 at Ross (I'm unsure where else they are sold, if anywhere else). Julep retails for $14 at Julep and Sephora. Love & Beauty retails for $2.80 at Forever21, online and in store.
