Neons

Spring Lovin: I can't get enough of all the bright shades nail companies have come out with for Spring/Summer. If you are not bold or comfortable wearing Neon clothing, this is a good way to introduce some color into your life. Its also a way to explore with color without committing too much. If you don't like it, just remove it.

This Sally Hansen Pacific Blue has been my favorite polish for this month. I've put it on my nails twice already and for me to repeat a nail color in the same month is unheard of. Its such a unique blue.  Its bright, a bit neon but definitely a wearable neon. It definitely draws attention to your hands. I've gotten many compliments when wearing this shade. You will too.

These are my top Spring Neon Shades I've been liking this Spring so far. All of these shades look amazing on your toes but also on your hands. I like wearing every shade in the rainbow so no color is too bright for me. Enjoy experimenting.

New Nail Art

Not sure if you girls have heard, but Ombre is the new thing everywhere. Ombre Hair, Ombre Nails. The hair I am not completely sold on. It looks to me as if you need a dye job asap!! The kind where you are calling your hair stylist and begging her to squeeze you in for a root touch up. I think I'll stick to one tone for now. Actually, that is one of my biggest pet peeves. I cannot stand seeing girls or women with roots down to their ears. It shouldn't have any impact on me since I'm not rocking the "i don't have 20 minutes in my life to fix this hot mess on my head" look but something about it just annoys me. I almost want to hand out box hair dye to some. I'll even apply it. My thing is, if you're gonna dye your hair, maintain it. If not, stick to natural.








Ombre nails on the other hand, I'm in LOVE with this idea. Its so cool and totally different. Its bringing tye die into the modern world.
Here are some pics of some color combinations I've seen lately. I can't wait to try it out.

It is the easiest manicure to do ever. If you are interested in this new nail trend, I'll teach you how to do it. It will be so much fun coming up with different color combinations. Especially with the amount of polish I have in my collection. I'll be putting combos together until I get sick of it.

Was craving some glitter to brighten up my Mood and Day.

Sally Hansen's Gem Crush

Colours from the Capitol

Here they are... in all their beauty. Inspired by the Hunger Games, this lovely collection of polishes will hit your stores March 1st.

I'm digging the metallics. Fast Track and Harvest Moon are very intriguing. Smoke and Ashes and Luxe and Lush are definitely going into my collection. They're sure to sell out so I will definitely hit up my china glaze retailer asap. Which ones catch your eye?

It has become the new accessory and I am totally "crack" addicted to it. How is it that a bottle of liquid chemicals make me so giddy? Let me count the ways.... 15 to be exact.
