Hello and happy Wednesday! How does this day find everyone? It's a pisser of a day here, typical for summer. I'm so over, like, four months ago :P
I have some fun, summery manis to show off, starting with today's cool blue water marble. Today was supposed be the prompt for #watermarblepractisewed on IG, which was neon matte. I nailed the matte, the neon not so much. All the neons I tried last night just didn't want to work, I think my water was too warm. Instead of fighting with them, I chose a few blues and went for it.
The colors I used are all China Glaze:
White on White for the base
Secret Peri-Wink-Le
Bahamian Escape
Electric Beat
Topped with Seche, then matted with Matte Magic.
Yellow was one of the prompts for yesterday's 30DoCC. I recently picked up China Glaze Daisy Know my Name? on clearance at Sally's. Let me tell you, this color is a bitch to get even. Out of all the Electric Nights colors I have, which is almost all now minus Red-y to Rave, this one is the worst application wise. It took me four coats, and I should have capped each layer >.< I sponged on Candy Lacquer Pixel Party, then topped with Seche. Daisy was more stubborn to remove the glitter, even.
Inlinkz to other participants:
Monday was a combined mani for PAA Mani Monday and the 52WPNMC. I pretty much just took one prompt from each and created :) Purple was for PAAMM, swirls for 52WPNMC. The base is Zoya Isa, which is just gorgeous. The swirls were stamped in Mundo turquoise from Jr. 20.

Stamping Sunday's mani was a little more subtle than I intended. The prompt was over a pink glitter base. My base was Zoya Eden and Harper. Stamped over that were images from Marianne Nails 58 in Mundo copper.
Last Friday's mani was just last Thursday's Skittle mani with holo stamping over it. The Skittles was created with China Glaze colors:
Lemon Fizz
Gaga for Green
Sweet Hook
Dance Baby
Electric Beat
The holo stamping was done with Color Club Beyond. The kitties and butterflies were from DRK A3, which is just recently released.
This mani also fit the holo prompt for Saturday's 30DoCC.

Good afternoon and happy Friday! It's a snoozy Friday afternoon for me today lol! Had a heavier than usual lunch so now I'm ready for a nap :P
So, I have a few manis to share today, one of them being something of a flashback. I chose to wear today one of OPI's first Liquid Sand polishes, Get Your Number, which also happened to be my first texture. That, in turn, started my obsession with sparkly textured polishes. I love this one so much. Three coats for this mani.
Yesterday, I wore a new to me color that I picked up on clearance at Ulta a few weeks ago, Zoya Freja. Two coats on all fingers, then 2 coats of OPI In True Stefani Fashion on my ring and pinky fingers. All topped with Seche.
Wednesday was another day for glitter (I wore glitter a lot this week O.o). This time, it was 2 coats of Zoya Perrie, then a coat of Color Club's Love You to Pieces that I picked up months ago at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Here's a bottle shot of LYTP:
And here it is on me :)
Good evening!
So, I have a bit of a Throwback Thursday for y'all :) I would suggest if you don't like Shatter/Crackles, you may want to pass over tonight's post lol.
Way back at the end of 2009/beginning of 2010, I really got into the nail polish community. What pushed me over the edge was the release of OPI's Katy Perry collection. It's one of the few collections where I own every color. For Throwback Thursday, I give to you Not Like the Movies with Black Shatter :) The crappy weather we've had here did not lend itself for capturing the color shift of NLTM, sadly.
Wednesday's was soft and pretty, I really like how it looked. I don't know if the collection was slated for release this month or next, but I found at Sally's over the weekend FingerPaints' new set of flakies, called the Kaleidoscope collection. They're not like their last set, these are softer in color, perfect for spring.
I layered two coats of Colorful Dream over Zoya Neely, then made it matte with Wet 'N Wild's matte topcoat.
On Tuesday, I used two untrieds, both from OPI. The newer was the Gwen Stefani collection released this month, In True Stefani Fashion. It's a square and hex silver holo glitter that can be layered or worn alone. I chose to layer it over Black Satin.
I was originally gonna pass on the glitter, until I realized it has square glitters. Love it!
