Pop neons

Hey guys!! I'm so excited to finally share these! My husband picked these up for me on a recent trip to New York...I've never heard of this brand before but they had a ton of colors! He found them in a Duane Reade in Times Square. I requested a few neons because, believe it or not, I have no neons! Well, I do have one, its a lime green Salon Perfect, and I've only used it once (for my Seattle Seahawks nails I did here )

I just love the bottles too! They are thin rectangular bottles. How awesome are these colors??? BOY ARE THEY BRIGHT!!!

This is twelve, Pinky (they are numbered and named). This is a BRIGHT pink creme. I've heard true neons dry matte? If that's the case then this is not. In all these pics on my middle finger I have just the polish alone, and on all other fingers I have a white base down first. In all pics I used 3 coats of color.  I've seen that a lot of times with neons a white base is needed to really make the colors pop but I wanted to show them both ways.

Next is twenty three, Yellow. Points for an original name, right? WOW this is SUPER BRIGHT!!! So much so I sent a pic to my husband when I was swatching these and was like WOWZA BRIGHT!

Next is twenty eight, Radioactive. This is the only one of the bunch that dried matte. Which is funny because  the only neon I have is in this same color family, and it dries matte too!

Last is fifty three, Pacific hoot. This is my favorite, no surprise, right!

I wanted to create some nail art with these, so I did my old standby dots. I was originally going to do dots all over the whole nail but got half way and was happy so I stopped!

 Then I added matte topcoat, of course!

Rock Star Baby Shower Cake

Hey Yall! Blogger is finally up and I finally have a few minutes, albeit while the boys are recreating the Indy 500 with their fire trucks in the playroom while I'm on my new mini-laptop (yay)....I'm gonna try to get some of the cakes I've made in the past month up! First up is the baby shower cake. It is half vanilla with vanilla buttercream and half chocolate with chocolate buttercream. I wonder how many pieces they had to cut to find some on both halves, because after I got the fondant on I had no idea where the division was! I asked for a picture of the bedding so I could have something to coordinate with. The only request was the cake flavors, so I could come up with anything! Here's the result.... I modeled the top like the bass drum and made panels around the sides to depict other scenes in the bedding. I'm pretty happy with my guitar...I totally free-handed cut that out. I've stated several times before...I'm not an artist, so that was a pretty big d...

Disney Cruise Nails 2017

Image
Hello fellow land dwelling friends! We are back from our vacation where we went on another Disney Cruise! We have done a few now and they have been the best trips our family has ever been on. This was our first voyage on one of the classic ships. Can not recommend enough! This was the longest cruise we have done, and I took the most footage ever. It will take me a little bit to sort through it all! I plan on several blog posts and a video. I can't decide whether to divide it up by day or category (food, entertainment, ports, etc) so I'm open to any and all suggestions! I'm starting today with the mani I created and wore the whole time! I was really indecisive about what to do, and therefore waited until the last minute to do these nails and was up entirely too late the night before we left! Once I finally decided on a color palette this is what followed, 2 hours later!
