Zoya Arizona & Elemental Styles Neon Lights

Sun

Hello!  How was everyone's Tuesday?  Today I have a bright, summery mani for you.  This is three coats of Zoya Arizona and two-ish coats of Elemental Styles Neon Lights, over Arizona, as an accent.  These polishes were made for each other.  Not gonna lie, Arizona, was a hot streaky mess for the first two coats.  The third evened it out pretty well but I still think I can see a bit of VNL.  The color is so cool though.  I honestly don't own another orange quite like it.  Neon Lights is a mix of yellow and pink matte glitters. The effect is that it looks very orange.  I used one coat of Gelous and then one coat of HK Girl topcoat to smooth it out.  You can check out the Elemental Styles etsy shop here.  Whitney makes great polishes and has fantastic customer service.

So have you started to transition into fall nail colors yet or are you still holding on to summer?  I live in AZ so it's sunny all the time here.  It'll be a while before I am regularly pulling out the fall colors.

Have a great night,
Sara

ManGlaze ILF

Sun

Oh my!  Oh my!  Oh my!  You all know that I'm in love with all polishes teal/turquoise/aqua.  Love them!  I've wanted ILF forever.  Ever since the first time I saw it, I've loved it.  I recently participated in a super cool swap and this is one of many cool polishes I recieved.  ManGlaze make the most awesome matte polishes.  The formula is far superior to any other mattes I've tried.  This is two coats of ILF.  I had almost zero clean up with this one.  Originally I wanted to use my stripping tape on my accent nail but I've put it in a safe place as my mom would say, and I can't find it.  So half moon mani it is.  I used Fuggen Ugly for the accent nail.  The combo is awesome!  Even Mr. MLiP thought so and he normally doesn't care.

The last picture is really poor but you can really see the sparkle in Fuggen Ugly.  I just had to show that to you.  I know not everyone loves mattes but I love this combo.  What do you think?

China Glaze Elephant Walk

Hi lacquer lovers!  So it's been a while since I've done any stamping.  I've been wanting to stamp again but didn't have time for a full mani.  This is the result.  Here is China Glaze Elephant Walk, a light gray with a subtle shimmer, and Hang Ten Toes on my accent nail.  Two coats of Elephant Walk was perfectly opaque and the formula was pretty good.  Hang Ten Toes was also two coats but the formula was a touch runnier.  I stamped a chevron pattern on my pink nail using WnW Black Creme, the most perfect stamping black.  Just one picture for you today because it was overcast out and all my photos look the same.  Do you like stamping or totally hate it?  I don't want it on every mani but sometimes it adds a touch of fun.

Take care,
Sara
