Neon and baby pink polka dots!


I have been a very bad blogger recently. I keep taking photos of my nails when I can, but sometimes I can't get the right light, and other times I take the picture and never get around to uploading it. Oops. Looks like I might have to do a photo dump sometime soon with all of my past manicures!

Anyway, this week I wanted something neon, and I decided on Kleancolor - Neon Pink. It's a nice bright, flat creme; two easy coats on the ring finger here, and the dots on the others. The pale pastel pink is Nails Inc - Elizabeth Street, which was nowhere near as well behaved. Two streaky coats on the three fingers (which would have needed three if they weren't about to get dotted), plus dots over the Kleancolor... not that they showed up all that well. I don't have any one-coater pastel pinks, sigh!

A noble Caribbean reef...


I have been so bad with updating recently, sorry! Just been lacking motivation and busy with other things. Anyway, enough excuses, onto the nails!

The main colour here is the gorgeous Illamasqua - Noble. It was part of my Christmas present from my boyfriend, and it is loooooovely. I've only used one coat on each finger here! One! Look at how smooth and bright and opaque it is! <3

The dots are done in Models Own - Blooboo, and the ring finger is three coats of Ninja Polish - Caribbean Reef. Trust me when I say this picture does it no justice. I work under bright fluorescent lighting at work, and the holo sparkles show up wonderfully!

Also, let's all pretend we can't see that huge gap at the side of my little finger. I was in a rush for this mani and didn't get enough light near me when I was painting, so I ended up missing it somehow! Oops!
