Anniversary Nails

I did this nail design on Wednesday since my boyfriend and I had our 6th year anniversary then. I was just feeling in the mood for something hearts and sweetness so here it is.

I used Essie Fiji for the light pink background and Sally Hansen Hot Magenta for the gradient and the hearts. The hearts were free-handed over top of the gradient, followed by a coat of Claires Glow in the Dark polish over that for a bit of glitter in the light and to make the light pink glow in the dark, because how fun is that?

Wish I could have gotten a good photo of the glow in the dark effect for you all, but it wasn't working out for me. Still, I'm pretty happy with what I ended up with.

I used two coats of Seche Vite for my top coat to smooth out the roughness of the glitter, and I recently found some 100% acetone at Wal-Mart so I got to touch up my polish without trying to use my regular remover to do it.

What do you think of this design? I'd love to hear from you!

Silver Circles on Mint and Pink

Take a look at this design internet!

I love these two colours together, they are Essie Fiji and GOSH Mint. I started this mani without any plan, I just knew I wanted these two colours complementing each other.

Once it was done I chose GOSH Silver to accent it and used my dotting tool to make some differently sized dots. Then I just filled them in with smaller dots of the original colour. With a good top coat over it everything was smoothed out and it didn't look like concentric dots anymore but actual silver circles. Yay!

What do you think? I like this as a nice simple way to jazz up plain old polish.

First Online Haul

Here is my first ever internet nail polish haul! I was so excited I opened it at the bus stop back from the post office! Yay! Peanuts! I got this from Nail Polish Canada and they were really very quick. I ordered this on the 18th and it got here yesterday, the 23rd, which included a weekend.

Here is the neon set I bought from Color Club. It was the Electro Candy set. The colours are really nice and it comes with a colour enhancing top coat which is neat.
Left to right here are the names: Electro Candy, Ultra Violet, Pure Energy, What a Shock!, Volt of Light, Tangerine Scream, Vivid Top Coat

Gold!

This is just a short post to show off Misa's Disco Queen. I love how shimmery and sparkly this polish is. I kept getting distracted and waving my fingers around to see it go.

There is so much sparkle in this polish that you don't need a base coat, I used three coats here and it was opaque in two. Went on perfect, dried quickly, not too gritty, I only needed one coat of my top coat to smooth it out. I used Essie's good to go top coat here.
