A loved combo comes back!

I think  Nfu Oh 51 is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous polish colors I have ever seen, but I dont use it often because I don't want to get sick of it!

I love these polish that Renee bought me when she visited Saipan a few months back, it's this gorgeous magenta/dark pink, it also is the perfect base color for flakies!  As seen below:

Breathtaking isnt it? Modest? Me? Never!

Of course to finish it, a nice coat of Seche. Which is getting very low, and I am kicking myself for not buying another bottle when Renee found it for cheap. But off for me now!

Island Girl Hawaii Aloha Coast

I picked this up for myself when I went to Saipan back in February with friends. This brand is based in Hawaii, but is sold in all pacific American territories, as well as in one store on the Las Vegas strip! The chain that mainly sells this are ABC Stores, a touristy type place.  If you click on the link, you can see some if their selection (not all however, the store had a much larger selection) and you can place online orders!  They ship to some other countries too.


They do seem to copy off other companies I noticed-they made a lesser quality line of the NYX cream glitter palettes, and this bottle is nearly identical to a China Glaze bottle, all they did was put their design on the cap.  They are cheap though.

This is bright neon pink with a pearly purple duochrome shimmer, not just a flat neon. That's what really made me fall in love with it! My camera does this color no justice, it doesn't show how neon (or pink!) it really is. My camera makes it look orange, and the neon more muted.

It is pretty sheer, this is three coats and you can still see VNL, so if you're like me and don't care for that, use an opaque base coat. Also, it dries super fast and matte like regular neons though, so if matte isn't your thing, make sure you have your topcoat.

Dots, Dots, Polka dots everywhere I go!

I don't know if you have been living under a rock, but polka dots are pretty big right now! But if you have they are!  Which inclined me to break out the ole dotting tool and do a look.

The base color I used was so bright that I didn't want to take away from it. The color I am speaking of is a nail polish that Renee got from a recent visit in Saipan (lucky duck!) called "Surfing Paradise" by Island Girl Hawaii. It is a gorgeous creamy purplish pink that goes matte. It's simple gorgeous!

Mind those cuticles!

 

 For the white polka dots I used your basic white nail polish, but the white I used came from a dotting set that Renee bought for me in Japan. Overall a fun manicure and very easy, don't let it fool you, the dotting took about 3 minutes on each hand. When I was finished I used a gel topcoat and then a coat of Seche vite. Nice and glossy! Not a fan of matte nail polish, sorry! But that is it for now!

Ta-ta!
