#summernorules - FAV NEON

Put your sunglasses on because today's theme is NEON.

Initially I was just going to use Finger Paints Silkscreen Green...one of my favorite neons.  It is from the 2012 Summer Neon collection.  It is an eye catching, bright neon green.  I should have used a white base, but instead I used 3 coats for opacity.

I decided to jazz it up a bit and add some flowers and such.  I used:
  • Essie's Blanc
  • OPI's I Just Can't Copa-cabana
  • KB Shimmer's Lei It Again & Sarong Place, Sarong Time

#summernorules - NATIONAL PINK DAY

Think pink today, whether it is a shirt, nail polish or your fav scarf!  Of course I chose nail polish.  This is Sinful Color's 24/7.  It is a neon pink that dries matte, but I used top coat.  It was opaque with 2 coats.

#summernorules - FIRST DAY OF SUMMER

YAY, it is the first day of Summer and the first day of the #summernorules Manicure Challenge.  Summer is my favourite season, by far and I love the hot humid Summer weather and the beautiful flowers that only grow this time of year.

For my 'First Day of Summer' mani, I decided to do some abstract flowers and of course I chose 2 shades of purple ;)  I used KB Shimmer's Sarong Place, Sarong Time and OPI's Steady as She Rose.

Zoya's Godiva

I thought I would cleanse my palate for the upcoming #summernorules nail art challenge! I chose Zoya's Godiva, a Pixie Dust from early 2013.  It is a textured nude/beige that is rather sheer, achieving opacity with 3 coats.  I love the sparkle :)
