Blue Skies...Barffy Burgers...GIRLS!!!!!

Please tell me I am not the only one who watched "You Can't Do That On Television" on Nickelodeon...come one, it's where the "Green Slime" was born..LOL! :)

I worshipped that show, it was awesome!

Anyway, today I have "Blue Skies" by Claire's, a great blue jelly with holographic glitter. :)

"Blue Skies"
3 coats

Even though you can see the "smile line"  or "VNL" of the nail, I still really like this polish.  I usually dislike thin colors, but this one sparkles so much, it's fun and funky! This would be awesome over another blue color. :)

After a couple days I decided to top it with a white crackle polish I bought last year at the Long Beach Nail Show, by Mavira.

I put it on in 1 thick coat so I could get the BIG cracks...so cool!!!

So cool! Look at that glitter coming thru the cracks :P

Claires: Poison Apple

Happy Friday......I couldn't get my hands on MAC "Bad Fairy", but I did get my hands on Claire's "Poison Apple".  Unfortunately it is not a dupe of "Bad Fairy", BUT it isn't half bad.

3 coats




In the shade



The color really does remind me of a dark juicy red apple that has an awesome dark orange foil finish.  I really like this color.  The formula is a bit watery and thin, but it layered nicely and was opaque in 2 coats.  I did 3 coats to see if I could get more depth out of the color, and I did :)

Can you see the flash of "foil duo-chrome" fabulousness?? :)

Only in in-direct sunlight does this polish really shine, it's awesome in indoor lighting...how often can you say that about a polish. :)

So, if you happen to be by a Claire's I'd definitely pick this baby up, its worth it, especially when Claire's has their "But One Get One Half Off" sales :)

I'm in a "blue mood"....

...a "blue mood" for Claire's new mood polish in flirty/shy. :) That's a good thing!

Claire's has 3 new mood polishes, a light pink version, a light peach version and a royal blue version.  I just bought the blue one, since the other 2 weren't really up my alley.

3 coats
Claire's "Flirty/Shy"
1 coat of Seche Vite.

I think the formula was improved with this new batch.  I still needed 3 coats to cover up bald spots, but this version was creamier and easier to apply.  It was glassy and shiny and changed colors even with a thick top coat like Seche Vite. 

My nail beds are the warm color "bright royal blue" and my tips are the cooler color "dark royal navy blue". 

Love this color combo and it was a lot of fun, but the "wear time" was pretty much the same and started to chip on day 2.

Did anyone grab the pink and peach version?

Neon Tips

Good Morning-

Today I have a treat, the swatch I have today is not from my own hands (no my hands did not shrink)....they are the hands of my niece Madison.

She is 10 yrs. old and is a freak about the color purple...but surprisingly for her "Auntie manicure", she choose a neon.  See, she likes neon in the summer time and choose the neon yellow/green Clarie's Mood Polish  "Earthy/Happy" over her beloved purple...the shock!

Anyway, since she is "hard" on her nails and likes to pick at them (try to not to pick sweetie), I did a "bonder sandwich" with three coats of color and finished it off with Poshe fast drying top coat.

Here is the difference between cold (on the left) and warm/hot (on the right) !

She has the cutest nail beds :)...what's your favorite neon to wear in the summer?
