Essie's New Summery Neons 2016: "...so electric, it's off the wall!"

Hi friends,
I know, I know, these aren't exactly new, but definitely noteworthy. This is the 2016 Essie spring collection, and it's all about bright colorful neons. This set of neons is quite a bit different than her 2015 neon collection.  These are brighter and truer neons. Although there have been many neon collections through the years, this one has a fresh, crisp feel that's more wearable than some of the more glaring one's.  I think this collection is the perfect bright collection for this spring and summer.

On the down-side, I've heard that the formula for these isn't the easiest to work with, but if you're brave and decide to pick up a few, let me know what you think.

Till next time,
Ciao for now.

31 Day Challenge: Day 15 Delicate Print Nails

#31DC2015 Delicate Print

Well, I think this counts as delicate print, don't you think? Delicate, yet still flashy and non-work appropriate. Just how I like it. Could have splashed on a bit of glitter, though. I knew something was missing. Honetly, I was itching to use striping tape. So, I fit that in there too.

I'm going to keep this sweet and short because we're at Buffalo Wild Wings waiting for our order. My mouth is watering and my flashy nails are flashing.

Here'swhat I used.

Essie's No Place Like Chrome is an excellent silver stamping polish.  One of the best after MdU. Remember my eggplant purple mixture?  Well, it's back and it stamps well.

Ok, gotta go, my order's here. Bon Appetit, and
Ciao for now.

Blue Striped Pajama Party

Hello Sunshine, todays manicure makes me want to curl up in bed with a good book and a cup of chamomile tea. The blue on blue stripes reminds me of men's pajamas. Is it just me or do you think so too?  I wore the manicure one day without the roses and was complimented on them. Then I thought I'd overlay a bouquet of roses.  I think I've seen a similar fabric print like that somewhere.  I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think.

For this mani, I started with two colors from the spring 2015 Road Trip Collection. First I painted the light blue Dashboard Dreamer on all my nails.  Then, with Boho Blues, I stamped stripes using Moyou London stamping plate Pro Collection XL-01.

Next, I used Gogoonly XL St. Happy stamping plate (Amazon for about $13), to stamp the roses with Essies Stylenomics deep green polish. I made decals using two colors by China Glaze. The first and peachier of the two (is that even a word?) is Pinking Out the Window from the Road Trip Collection (love the names). The second polish, which is a beautiful neon pink, is Glow With the Flow from the 2015 Summer Nights Collection.

For the leaves I used a minty green polish by O.P.I. called Withstands the Test of Thyme from the Infinite Shine line.

I'm thrilled with my China Glaze minis.  I plan to pick up more soon.  Speaking of minis, I have a few Mundo de Unas to review for you soon. Several of the ones I purchased are cute little minis.  I placed a second order so I'm waiting for that to arrive.  As soon as it does, I'll get started on a review for you. I can tell you this, though, I'm loving the ones that I have so far.
Ciao for now.
