What I started my vacation out with. I knew these would last about 2 seconds because neons wear horrible for me. I used China Glaze Kiwi Cool-ada, Towel Boy Blue, Pool Party, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and Essie Bright Tights. I obviously suck hardcore at freehanding the black lines, but oh well. I figure no one looks that close in real life. Right? ;)

Swing Baby. A gorgeous taupe metallic. I feel like this leans rose gold a bit. This is highly reflective, my flash bounced beautifully off of this. A very unique metallic polish!

Classic Camel. Caramel yellow-beigey goodness. I can't think of another polish anything like this one. It has some lovely gold flecks mixed in. There are a few bald spots in my swatches but I think that was my impatient application. I had a horrible feeling this would wash me out but I don't think so, thoughts?

Jitterbug. Another unique metallic polish. Charcoal gray, loaded with silver glitter. Nothing much to say on this but once again, love it.

Ingrid. Alright, I totally absolutely freaking LOVE this polish. I didn't want to take it off when I was swatching. Warm comfy brown with loads of light gold shimmer. This is my ideal fall polish and I can't wait to put this back on my fingers!

And here is a picture of the cutest little tiny can of juice! I gave blood on Tuesday (with my hubby and first-timer brother) when I wore this and I had to take a picture with the can.
Hope everyone is having a fun holiday weekend! I know I am :)

Look at that split in my thumb nail :( It was on both sides and this was after it was patched. Yeah, I had to cut it down after these pictures but I couldn't care to cut them all so low so I just trimmed them a little. My poor poor thumb nail :(

Now this is more like it: China Glaze Channelesque. My bottle came a little bit wonky and had spilled down the side :( Poor thing! I'm not really sure how to describe this color...kinda a taupe brown but also kinda purple? I asked several people and they couldn't decide either. It is pretty though, I quite like it! On my pointer I have my first try at using fimo sticks- a starfish. I can't wait to use these more (although they are hard to slice thin). This is 3 coats.

Another great glitter from Hard Candy! I haven't tried anything other than their glitters from this line but I think I have to, these are all so great. If you haven't seen them: Lava, Mr. Wrong and Sweet P are all gorgeous glitters with the best application of their kind and if you like glitter you NEED them. Here is 3 coats of Sweet Pea:


And I've had these for awhile, some Flip Flop Fantasy fun...this is topped with Cover Girl City Lights, 2 coats:
Stamped with China Glaze Millennium- I loved this mani!-
Polka dot and disco balls go well together, don't ya think?

One of my followers asked about my cosmetology school experience. I figured I might as well throw this on a post since it may be lengthy and I hope my advice will do her some good :) I will first say that I live in NY and state laws are a little different everywhere, especially in the amount of hours needed to graduate.

I have completed my Pool Side collection! Yay! I truthfully didn't think I would like this one much but I actually do.
Kiwi Coolada- 3 coats. This had the same application as the others which I didn't have any problems with. It did look a little streaky before top coat but once I applied that everything looked fine.
Lately I've been ruining my nails sewing for the pup. This is Apollo's new "visiting Grandma" dress (since my mother is a hippy).

Because I am too damn lazy to edit pictures right now and I found these on my computer the other day...enjoy some of my pre-blog nail art :D
Fingerpaints Easel Come, Easel Go (I HATE this brands names) with an Ed Hardy nail tattoo and a little flair added with China Glaze Ink. Look how short my nails were! So weird to me now.
China Glaze Agent Lavender stamped with fauxnad Hello Kittys, bows and noses filled in and holographic glitter polka dots on the other fingers. This is one of my favorite NOTDs ever!
China Glaze (I think it's called...) OMG stamped with konad diamonds and sparkles. Check out my pretty shower curtain in the back ;)
NYC Polyester Pink, China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway tips and silver nail art pen. cute rung from Forever 21.
Franken mint green (Orly Mint Mojito + White) stamped with konad.
A Sinful glitter applied only to tips. Reminds me of a mermaid tail.
China Glaze DV8 on tips, neon pink stamped with konad was a Sallygirl mini and holographic glitter nail art pen.
