So, from a mini China Glaze haul I got from Sally's during the B2G1 sale, here is Celtic Sun, a freaking yellow neon from the Ink Collection. Awesomelicious. (I also picked up Blue Sparrow. I should've picked up the other four, but apparently, I'm retarded, because the sale is over now.)

I tried it two different ways. First time is two coats of ChG White on White and two coats of ChG Celtic Sun. This comes of very bright and very stark. But, completely opaque.

A little softer is two coats of Maybelline Blushing Bride (which blushes not at all) and two coats of the ChG Celtic Sun. However, there is still a bit of VPL. But my nails are so short right now I hardly care.

Okay, so I was a little bored on Friday night. Can you tell? I drank too much of a caffeinated soda and was up all night. This is the result!

These are the colors I used. They are neon's by Claire's. Came in a pack that also included purple and blue (pix on the purple later. It's quite a gem.)


First, I applied the orange to opacity (I think three coats)

The orange looks a bit pinky when the light hits it a certain way. Enough so that I did a double take the first time I ever used this polish and thought "Pink?? I painted my nails orange." This is the only photo I had that picked it up in the slightest; sorry for the blurriness. (Is this what people mean by duochrome? Forgive my ignorance. This polish is orange in some lights and pink in others.)
Next, apply yellow to the tips. Opaque in 3 thin or 2 thick coats.

Next, take your dotting tool/paper clip/tooth pick/tiny brush and dot the green all over. This turned out very sheer. Oh well. I didn't want to put dots over my dots.



All in all, I am thoroughly satisfied with this mani. It's so much fun!!! Great time killer for the insomniac in you.

NOTD: Friday Dec 19 GUITAR HERO

So here is basically the greatest mani I've ever done: The Guitar Hero Manicure. (Tim: I bought the green and yellow nail polishes just for you!!!)




These first two colors are so so so sheer. I put four coats for each one. I was disappointed, to say the least. Especially since the other polishes I have from Icing are super pigmented. The other colors are two coats each.





Note: don't you think these Icing polish bottles look a bit like China Glaze bottles? I don't own any CG, so I can't be sure.
