Untried Month Day 17: Neon Gradient

I recently purchased a couple of the Orly Feel the Vibe Neons and decided to combine them with some other untried neons in a gradient. I painted stripes of each color on my makeup sponge but quickly realized that my nails are not long enough to accommodate all four colors haha. So I decided to randomly combine 2 colors on each of my nails for another skittle mani :)

The gradient looks smother in real life and is much more neon. I sponged over a base coat of Platinum Ice Magic Platinum Base Coat. Neons used: China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, Orly Glowstick, Orly Beach Cruiser and Models Own Hedonist. This was so summery and I got a lot of compliments!

Untried Month Day 16: Glitter Gradient Skittles

The other day I decided to go through my untried box and try to use as many polishes as possible. I found that I had a few multi colored glitter and decided to do a skittle with them! I really love this mani :) It's so sparkly and magical! And the gradient was super easy! I just used a ripped up makeup sponge dipped in glitter and moved up the nail.

From thumb to pink: Prisma Colors purple with Ulta Indigogo Girl, Ulta Alter Ego with OPI Simmer & Shimmer, Barry M Emerald Green with China Glaze Optical Illusion, China Glaze Champagne Bubble with OPI Glow Up Already! and Sinful Colors Flutter with China Glaze Full Spectrum.

My Birthday Manicure!!!

April 1st was my birthday! I really love my birthday. Like a lot :D This is definitely me:

It took me forever to decide what I wanted to do for my birthday manicure. A lot of people do cupcakes (which are super cute!) but I don't like cupcakes...or cake lol. I finally decided to do a skittle mani! I love skittles because I get to use 10 different polishes :) And I of course did them in a rainbow because I love love love rainbows! It's like the alphabet of colors!!! Then I topped them off with Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday which was an early birthday present from my daddy :)

Colors used: Right hand (pinky to thumb) - China Glaze Dance Baby, China Glaze Salsa, Zoya Paz, Wet n Wild The Wonder Yellows, China Glaze Gaga for Green.

Left hand (thumb to pinky) - China Glaze Starboard, OPI Fly, China Glaze First Mate, China Glaze Sweet Hook and Zoya Mimi.

I love this manicure so much! And the shoes I wore to dinner were glittered with similar colors as Happy Birthday. I keep changing my mind on which nail is my favorite. I'm really partial to the greens, but they're all so pretty!

Spring PCFC Day 14: Pastel Skittle

I LOVE skittle manis. It's a great way to wear as many nail polishes as possible. I decided to do a rainbow color scheme because rainbows are awesome.
