Falling Forward Challenge: Day 1 - Neons

Good morning, polishaholics! Today, I'm beginning the Falling Forward Nail Art Challenge and am very excited. This is my first nail art challenge!

As you can see above, today's theme is neons!

I'm not a big fan of neons, so I had to do something that I would be willing to rock on a daily basis.

I went with a pale green base in Julep Courteney and used It's So Easy Stripe Rite paints in neon colors to make a stringy French manicure.

I really like how it turned out. The stripes remind me a bit of ocean ripples. And the muted green of Julep Courteney makes it a little less in-your-face.

Before we bid farewell, to summer neons, be sure to check out the posts of my fellow bloggers who are undertaking the challenge!

The 411 on Coterie

Good afternoon, everyone! A lot of people have been asking me about this new site launching in a few days, Monday to be precise, called Coterie. Well, I have done some investigating and have not only gotten a ton of information, but have also gotten you a special VIP code!

Swatch and Review: R. Hobby Cosmetics

Happy Tuesday!

I have another indie brand on tap for today, R. Hobby Cosmetics!

Please note that while the bottles below are labeled Black Cat Lacquers, Rachel changed the name of her company to prevent confusion. All you need to know is that she is now making polishes under the name R. Hobby Cosmetics! :-)

Today, I have three lovely shades from R. Hobby... and I'm really excited to bring them to you!

Swatch and Review: SoFlaJo Ghost of a Chance

Happy Monday! (Yeah, I know.)

I'm going to post a little more on NYFW and Fashion's Night Out in a few days, but today, I have for you a wonderful creation from SoFlaJo.

Halloween is a little over a month and a half away, but Jody's Terrified Collection is bringing the scary spirit to your nails!

Here is the full collection above... STUNNERS!

I had the opportunity to try out Ghost of a Chance, a crystalline shimmer polish that doubles as a blue-green top coat!

Here, you can see the ghostly-presence of the green and blue shimmer.

Because of the undertones of the glitter, I chose to layer Ghost of a Chance over a range of dark blues and black. From left to right, there are two coats over Zoya Indigo, Zoya Ibiza, Zoya Song, and Zoya Tart.

I think it gives them all a gorgeous depth that a plain creme or frost just can't portray on its own. Though, I think it looks the BEST over the black because it gives the green the most pop!

While this definitely has the look of fall, I think this will be amazing for an icy winter look too!

Like all of SoFlaJo's polishes, the application was outstanding. She really knows how to do awesome, transformative top coats!

Handcrafted, all polishes are made from natural pigments and glitters with bases free of the chemicals Toluene, Formaldehyde and Dibutyl Phthalate and Formaldehyde. You can purchase any and all of the Terrified Collection now at the SoFlaJo Etsy Shop. Mini bottles are available for $5 (7mL) and the full size bottles are available for $10 (15mL). The 5-piece Terrified Collections (available in mini or full size) have deep shipping discounts too. BONUS!

What do you think of Ghost of a Chance?
