Maybelline Bleached Neons

I picked up a few of the very popular and difficult to find Maybelline Bleached Neons collection.

First up is Ultra Violet and it is a lovely lavender shade.


This is Pink Punch...a beautiful peachy pink.


Finally this is Lime Accent and it is exactly that, lime.


I love these fun colours and they are great if you don't really like a bright neon.  Unfortunately I found them very thick and not the easiest to apply...but a top coat resolved the unevenness.

Ka-Pow from FInger Paints

Ka-Pow is a clear based glitter consisting of  black, white, dark pink and light pink hex glitter.  Another fun glitter that I put over Essie's Bikini So Teeny.






A little placement was necessary, but worth it!!

Loaded Lacquer's Double Shot of Sriracha

Double Shot of Sriracha is a 'holographic hot sauce for your nails.'  It is a fiery burnt red linear holographic jelly polish.  I achieved opacity with two thin coats...so easy to work with!



I thought I would try a matte top coat...I like it better shiny!



For some unique and high quality polish that is easy to work with, I would recommend taking a look at Loaded Lacquer.  They can be found here.

Here are just a few of the Loaded Lacquer polishes I have swatched.

Foolish Hearts
Fluffy Macaroons
Giddy Up
Fade to Pink
Toasted Marshmallow
Pomegranate
Innocent Until Proven Guilty
Mintallica
Cuts Like a Knife
Saki Bomb

PS:  Thank you to Heather (Loaded Lacquer) and Jaime (The Polished Butterfly)...two very sweet ladies.

OPI's Kiss Me I'm Brazilian

Kiss Me I'm Brazilian is part of the 2014 Brazilian collection.  It is a bright creme pink.  I had trouble with the formula on this one...it was so thick.  I used some polish thinner and it seemed to become more manageable.  I used 2 coats to achieve opacity.




Another beautiful creme polish from OPI!

Loaded Lacquer's Saki Bomb

Saki Bomb is like a party on your nails with my two fav colours, pink and purple!! Inspired by a female Japanese anime character, it is a clear based glitter consisting of large pink holographic circles, multi-sized pink holographic hex, metallic purple hex & squares, small holographic lavender hex and micro silver holographic hex.  I decided to just go with an accent nail for this manicure...on my other nails is OPI's Funky Dunky.
