Brighter Than the Sun!

I have found ANOTHER favorite summer color!!! Um....anything BRIGHT or NEON!! With my skin getting more and more tan, these colors look freaking amazing!!

The base for this mani is China Glaze Hightlight of My Summer. It's a super bright minty green. I had this on my toes too and it caught a lot of eyes. I'm officially obsessed!!

I stamped using Sinful Shine Most Sinful.  Whenever I feel like I'm getting better with stamping, I take a close up pic and my confidence crumbles.  :(

These looked really good from a far, and then they looked so smudged in these pics. Oh well, such is life. #nailbloggerproblems  I still really loved the way this mani came out and I will definitely be using this color again during the summer months.

What are your favorite colors for summer? Brights, pastels, neons?? I LOVE THEM ALL!!!

Fantastic Clash-Tastic

Indie Polish is, you guessed it, an indie polish brand that makes an array of amazing glitter polishes. They are always having flash sales to go along with their already great prices!!

This spectacular chunky glitter is Clash-Tastic! There's a lot in this polish, which is what makes it so FANTASTIC! Smaller red hexes, medium light purple hexes, large blue hexes (these are the hard ones to get out the bottle), medium magenta circles and tons of bright blue micro matte glitter (this is my favorite part I think). 

I started off this mani with a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter-A-Peel. I layered one coat of Clash-Tastic over 2 coats of China Glaze Refresh Mint. I know what you're thinking: That looks blue! It is. I have a faulty bottle of Refresh Mint that looks like robin's egg blue. I've read some other bloggers have had the same issue. Go figure. Anyway, I topped this off with Sally Hansen Dries Instantly and then Essie Matte About You.

I love glitter polishes matted, don't you???

MACROS :)

I used a pointy orange wood stick to push down the larger glitters to help with lifting. Do you have any tips/tricks to applying these chunky type glitters?

4th of July Nail Art

Yesterday I posted a quick pic of my 4th of July mani on Facebook. It's the only pic I have so here it is again. Not too bad for a cellphone pic with my moms hydrangeas. LOL!

Polishes used:

Zoya Carmen

Essie Beyond Cozy

China Glaze White On White

Nailtini Blue Flame (sheer topper)

Sinful Shine Most Sinful

My sister and I had a great day with our family. There's a huge parade that goes by our parents' house every year. We watched that, then BBQed and hung out with friends all day. 

We hope you all had a great 4th!!

Blue Hues and Silver Accents

We met up for brunch over the weekend and by pure chance we had almost identical matching manis!! Great mani minds think alike I suppose!! LOL

My(Vicky) mani features my new Julep polish I received in my April Julep Maven Box.  Lena is a beautiful turquoise with a hint of gold.  The accent nail is 2 coats of Pure Ice Silver and Sephora by OPI Flurry Up glitter topcoat.  

My(Erika) mani is China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, one of my new purchases. I was so excited about this polish because I really wanted a mint polish. This looks a lot like a robin's egg blue to me and others agree. I just don't see the green hues in this polish at all!!! So my search for a mint polish continues. My accent nail is 3 coats of Essie Luxeffects Set in Stone. This polish definitely needs a base color, even after 3 coats you can see my bare nail. No bueno!

Is showing up to a party with the same mani as someone else just as bad as having on the same dress?? We say NO, but only if the other person is your sister.
