31 Day Challenge: Day 11

Today is Day 11: POLKA DOT nails. I had done today's manicure in the past, and I really liked it, so I decided it would be much more fun to do than a boring base-color-and-dot manicure. This is what I came up with:





For this I used:

Silver- China Glaze Cheers To You
Dark Neon Pink- China Glaze Pool Party
Light Neon Pink- China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy
Neon Orange- Color Club Koo Koo Ka Choo
Neon Yellow- China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
Neon Green- China Glaze Kiwi-Cool-Ada
Neon Purple- Color Club Mrs. Robinson

I didn't use any topcoat, because I liked the way the semi-matte dots looked against the foil. Hope you enjoyed! See you on Day 12.

Thanks for reading!

Essie- Knockout Pout!

Hi all! :)

Today I am showing Essie- Knockout Pout from the summer 2010 collection. :) This is a nice, coral, pinky neon. :)







 
I love this color. :) Honestly, I think my bottle is faulty though because on all of the other blogs, I am seeing a bright, creamy neon pink, but mine looks more like coral! Not at all like I expected it. Also, the formula was horrible. This was five (!) coats of polish! FIVE! It didn't need it for opacity though, I needed it for everything to be evened out. It was streaky, and watery, and every time I would move my fingers, the polish would run and pool all over my cuticles. Needless to say I won't be using this again for a while. If I want a good neon pink, I will turn to one of my Color Clubs, or China Glazes, or Orlys. :) This is a neon so it does dry matte, so if you want it to be glossy, you'll need a topcoat.That will be all for today! But just for fun.. It matched my new blush (a random Physician's Formula btw.) perfectly!

Thanks for reading!
