Hot Glittery Neon-ness!

Above is 2 coats of Essie Mini Shorts - An orange neon. I love this colour - it is actually a few shades redder and MUCH neon in real life!

I wanted to try out my nfu oh so I put one layer of #81 over the top.

This has a pinky orange base with pink and yellow/gold glitter. As you can see it is very fine and subtle on the nail but I really like it. I wanted to try and make a colour similar to BB Couture's Painted Lady. I saw a swatch on Dr. Frankenpolish's blog a while ago and have been lusting over it ever since and although this is close, it's no cigar!

There are definately quite a few BB's that I NEED in my collection so I think I will be doing a mini haul later this month.

Do you have any recommendation for where to get BB's from?

Essie Bermuda Shorts

Happy Sunday everyone. Nice knowing we don't have work tomorrow, isn't it? I've literally done nothing today except from put some things for sale on ebay, paint my nails and ate a huge roast dinner and for the rest of the day I intend on watching films :)

I went for Essie Bermuda Shorts today. I'm trying to make the most of the long weekend and get in as many non-workfriendly polishes as possible.


This actually photographs a lot more neon than it really looks in real life. It's actually a bit darker than I could capture. I hear that purples and neons are hard to photograph so imagine those 2 added together...tricky (espically as I only have a basic digital camera). This is 3 coats with topcoat as it dries matte.

This is a lovely colour and I will definately be wearing it again when I can appreciate it in the sunshine.
