Girly Girl Challenge, Day 8: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

For my "fun-loving" mani... I came up with a 'Neon Camo' (oxymoron)!

In my last birchbox... I received color club's lava lamp & holy cow it is bright neon orange!!! I need sunglasses looking at it!!

I couldn't capture it so well in the sun as well as the shade:

I then made random lines/blob patches if you will... with the colors:

China Glaze: In the limelight

China Glaze: Turned up turquoise

Orly: Passion Fruit

Essie: Matte About You

The matte coat definitely helped mute the orange!! and the other colors just pop!!

This was so easy & FUN to do!! Hope you all give it a try :-)

A special thank you to Lindsay for hosting this challenge- I hope we all participate in another one soon!!!

Girly- Girl Challenge, Day 7: Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice

Last week of the challenge already!!

Today's mani I bit off of the "caviar nails" look and did my own rendition...

I started out with Ludurana Aurora Boreal

Then I applied another coat and while wet, I sprinkled sprinkles on my nails!!!

"Dude.... Sweet"

And since this is SUGAR, it didn't last long... I ate them!!! hahahaa J/K!! I washed my hands and it all started to melt... Ewww.. Until then, it all stayed in place very well!! I pressed them down with my finger and clear coated only the ends...

Also, these sprinkles are way bigger than the caviar look, but it's what I had and I like it even still- I would definitely do this again with something like The Polishaholic used- micro beads!! Save $25 and only spend $6.99! We all know we can use those savings to buy more polish!!!!! Especially custom ones ;-)

Girly Girl Challenge, Day 6: Who Inspires You?

When I think of a true role model, I think of my mom....But, I didn't want to do that... instead, I thought back to my youth and the first thing that came to mind was watching cartoons and how I loved some of the shows!! In fact the first word I learned in Spanish was Peligro (Danger) and I learned that by watching Sesame Street!! Okay, moving on... so I'm an 80's girl & I actually used to pretend I was She-ra... so I obviously looked up to her/admired her- right??! I still like to kick ass & take names!!!! lol.

...Here are excerpts from thecheers.org

She-Ra: Princess of Power. This girl rocked. She fought evil, tamed wild animals and was He-Man’s twin sister. She was totally cool. Not only could she thwart Hord-Ak’s evil plan, and save Crystal Palace—but she could do so in half a dress and stiletto knee high boots. How cool is that? Girls were now shown that they could kick ass AND look good all at the same time. Everybody wanted to be She-Ra.

What attracted girls to the princess of power was the fact that She-Ra was (when not fighting evil) a sweet semi-timid girl by the name of Adora. Adora in turn was the animated girl next door. Adora symbolized to viewers that there was a princess of power in every girl just dying to break free.
