Summer Challenge: Jubilee Street Party

I really had no idea to do for this mani. I've never been to a street party or been under the rule of a queen. The whole concept was foreign. Then I was looking through my untrieds and found Icing Pre Game, which is perfect for a party!

I paired it with Wet n Wild How I Met Your Magenta. I bought this polish purely because of the name. I LOVE HIMYM! I've even dressed up as Robin Sparkles once. I'm glad I bought it because this color is seriously fantastic. Even though it was kinda thin, I didn't have problems with cuticle problems and it applied really well! This was 3 coats. For some reason, any pink that I wear I put on 3 coats and still have VNL. I wasn't too concerned this time since I was layering over it.

And then Pre Game!!! I love love love this polish! It applied really well and I want to put it over everything! Seriously fun. And it's a party in a bottle! This was one coat (with no glitter "plopping", just normal strokes). I could not stop staring at my nails!

Summer Challenge: Swimming Pool

Swimming pools are pretty much my favorite thing ever. I once told my parents I'd give up my bedroom for a pool. They didn't go for it :( For this mani I tried to capture the gorgeous water sparkly in the sun :) 

I did two coats of China Glaze For Audrey, which might have been too dusty for my purpose. Then I did a coat of Sally Hansen HD Spectrum (which I found at  Dollar Tree!) and then a coat of China Glaze Snow Globe to mimic sparkles and bubbles :) This mani makes me really happy!

Summer Challenge: Sunshine

Summer Sunshine! I really love this color combination. Btw the weird spots around the cuticles? That would be staining from blueberries that would not come off for the life of me :/

I did too coats of Color Club Blue-Ming and then freehanded suns with Color Club Almost Famous.

Summer Challenge: Summer Sunset

I'm a day late on this challenge :/ And earlier today I looked down and all the polish on one nail just popped completely off! Hence the weird hand position.

I started with a base of Icing Peachy Keen because it was right between orange and yellow. Then I sponged OPI In My Back Pocket, Color Club Almost Famous, and Color Club Blushing Rose. Then I sponged Wet n Wild 9.0.2.1.Orange over everything.

Teal Tuesday: Ladies' Choice

Today's Teal Tuesday theme is Ladies' Choice which made me immediately think of this:

I loooove Zac Efron and this version of Hairspray. I was obsessed when it came out. If I'd had more time this holiday weekend, I would've done a mani inspired by the video, like those fabulous curtains in the back and those awesome paper lanterns...I'm gonna have to keep that in mind for a rainy day ;) 

I kept it simple and did two coats of Fanservice Nails Did I Fall Asleep?. This polish applied really well. It's a teal shimmer base with iridescent glitter and flakies.

I'd worn this a couple of day, so I did have some tip wear. And chipping on the ringer finger at the cuticle because I was picking at it :/

This polish was absolutely fabulous and I loved it. But my favorite thing? Removal. Usually darker polishes are a nightmare to remove because they stain your hands and nails and are super messy. These are my nails right after removing Did I Fall Asleep? without any special treatment:

 I removed it with Zoya Remove+ and felt with absolutely no problems. I only used 1/2 a piece of my felt pieces and I usually used at least a full one (sometimes two) to remove dark colors like this. And I only used one coat of nail hardener as my base coat! Excellent!

Fanservice Nails Polishes are available here. There are some wonderful polishes available. I've already worn all three I bought and loved them. I can't wait to buy more!
