The Lacquer Ring – Bikini Bottoms

A while back one of our TLR members went through quite a health scare. We were all so ecstatic when she got the clean bill of health we wanted to commemorate the occasion with what else, matching manis. Amy found the most gorgeous, vibrant, lively color she could and got one for all of us to share. We are finally here with it for you today.

TLR gives you, ILNP’s Bikini Bottoms!

You would not know it from us East Coaster polishes, but this is a gorgeous magenta holo. The reason I call us East Coasters out is it’s been raining for almost a week here and I at least couldn’t get a good shot of this holo goodness no matter what I tried 😦

ILNP describes this as: A ‘definite in-your-face (color) and “pops” like nothing else! Perfect for summer! Bottoms is a wonderfully vivid magenta pink holographic polish with a delicious blue hue that is sure to please!’ We agree that’s why this was the perfect choice for a joined celebration!

IMG_7436Of course I did a little accent using bikini bottoms along with some other summer staples using Jessica’s Strawberry Shake-It! See what I did there, very fitting in more ways than one to this mani 😉

IMG_7435Here you can kind of see the holo

IMG_7437Tried to get more lighting, it’s more of this darker magenta color than it appears in the first two pics.

Well hopefully the other girls have better pics for you as the shitty East Coast weather dampered my pics 😦

I paired this with my new ILNP holo Very Ornamental. I stamped Capricorn overtop and put the gem in the center.

NOTD 178 – Featured Color Friday – Indie Hello Kitty

Woohoo It’s finally Friday! I feel like I am so behind this year, I have no decorations up, nothing wrapped, still a few people to buy for, etc. I am usually way more prepared by now. I think it’s that Thanksgiving was so much later, it’s totally throwing me off. I have been working on Saturdays for OT, this Sunday I have a party to go to, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of next week I have things going on, along with Doctors, etc. mixed in to that, it’s just insane!

Anyway, enough about my crazy schedule and lack of preperation this year, on to this beautiful ILNP pretty that I have been telling you all so much about lately. This is Indie Go by I Love Nail Polish. It’s a gorgeous blue holo with mixed in blue sparkles and subtle color change.

This picture is a little blurry but you can just see the amazing holo/sparkle and slight color change! 🙂

I then stamped my Ice skating Hello Kitty and I took my Milani nail art bottles and filled in some of the stamp. I colored in her headband and scarf pink and added glitter to her skates and her headband for some sparkly detail. 🙂

NOTD 174 – Featured Color Friday – Birefringence

It’s Friday! I actually wore this amazeballs color earlier in the week but as you read in my last post, I had a post to catch up on. This is #2 of my 7 ILNP pretties.  “Birefringence shifts through an array of incredible blues, purples, reds, oranges, yellows, and even subtle greens!” as the website describes this beauty.

This color shifts more purples and blues for me so I decided to stamp  Essie’s the lace is on and ILNP’s Contraband. I used stamp PUEEN06 and dotted the pink stamps from top to bottom and Contraband from bottom to top.

Well… wasn’t I right? This color is super color shifting with amazing shimmer. I am in love! I thought that Northern Lights was my favorite of the bunch but I am not sure now… this might be!

What do you think of this gorgeous ultra chrome?
