{ " Neon and Floral " }

I've been on a kick with these Jamberry nail wraps on my ring fingers.
I have to work the rest of my manicure around them, which isn't hard, because the wraps have quite a few different colors in them. I have been loving the neon trend, but I don't have any neon polishes. I really need to find a couple, because I think neon nails are so eye-catching and gorgeous!
This polish is actually from my Shany nail art polishes. I just cleaned off a brush from another polish, and used it in this neon pink. It doesn't have a name, like all of the other Shany Cosmetics polishes I have. But, it's gorgeous, and it's neon.
Unfortunately the color isn't coming out right on camera, and it looks more coral. It is a bright bright bright neon pink. I'm bummed that it is coming off like this... but, that's okay. It kind of gets the point across.
The little gold studs are from the new Sally Hansen nail art kits that came with white rhinestones, black rhinestones, and the gold studs. I love the gold with the neon pink, it looks absolutely gorgeous. You could obviously use any neon pink to achieve this look, and even a coral or a neon purple would look gorgeous. I just love the little bit of charm, yet edge the studs give to a manicure. They are so versatile too!



This wasn't a very informative post, but I just wanted to share! Summer is so much fun, and I love the bright colors that come out in this season! Though, I will wear bright colors ALL YEAR LONG if I can.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

{ " Bright Polka Dot Nails " }

Hi everyone, I'm still alive!
That's a shocker, isn't it?

Anyways, just here with a little nail design I have been wearing for the past couple of days. This manicure has held up pretty well, seeing as I did it on Monday morning. Generally by the second day all of my polish has peeled off. There are a few chips, but it's somewhat outstanding that the polish is still even on! I just put on another layer of top coat to seal in the chips just for a little bit longer!
The ring fingers have Jamberry nail wraps on them. I got a sample nail wrap from a friend, and they have been on without fail for almost six days, which is excellent! There's a little bit of tip wear on them, but other than that they're in perfect shape. I would even be tempted to order some of these, even just for accent nails! I love them!

Anyways, on to the full manicure.


The yellow polish is Julie G Canary Islands,
the orange is Julie G Old San Juan, and 
the white polish is Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Sure Thing. 
I'm not sure what the Jamberry nail wraps are called, but I love them. If I were to order some in the future, I would order these ones. 
I just made the dots with a Shany Cosmetics dotting tool from Amazon. 

This is by far my favorite manicure as of late. It's just so fun, and springy. Plus I got quite a few compliments on it! I guess that's what happens when you wear a bright mani! 

I enjoy doing my nails, and even though my polish only lasts for about a day or two, I love taking the time to paint my nails! 

Thanks for looking, have a wonderful week!
