Hey there lovelies! The other day a dear friend to my family was lost in a tragic accident. I have felt so down I just haven't been feeling up to much of anything. I tried to do a bright happy mani, and while I probably would have liked it most days I decided I didn't like it and changed it. The update was even worse (for some reason my gradients are always not so great looking). I figured you guys might appreciate the bright neon nails I was sporting for about an hour.
I used China Glaze in Celtic Sun for the base with a coat of white underneath. I dotted with China Glaze in Rose Among Thorns and Sinful Colors in Summer Peach.
So I decided to change my nails. I stripped the polish off my ring finger, repainted it in Celtic Sun and tried a sponge gradient with Rose Among Thorns. I hated everything about this. The stamping looks messy and It reminded me of candy corn. One of these days I will actually like a sponge gradient I do. Maybe I am missing something?
So I have been at Walgreen's everyday this week buying a couple bottles of nail polish. Most of them were Sinful Colors, but today I picked up a couple Sally Hansen to diversify my haul for the week a little bit.

Part 3 from left to right Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Golden-I, Lacey Lilac, and Sally Hansen Salon Nail Lacquer in You-Gurt Style which I got at Big Lots for $1.50.
I realized that since I have been really actively buying nail polish there are a bunch I haven't used yet, and figured I ought to swatch some so I know how they behave. I have never swatched anything before so, if anybody has questions don't hesitate to ask.
First we have Sinful Colors in Summer Peach. I don't get the name on this one. This polish is a bright orange neon as far as I'm concerned, and there isn't much peachy about it. In the picture there are 3 coats. It was a bit streaky going on the first couple coats but the 3rd cleared it up nicely. I skipped the base coat and I'm happy to report I experienced no staining.
Next we have Sinful Colors in Irish green. I love the color on this one. I love greens, and this is maybe one of my new favorites. I found it with the neons at Walgreen's, but beyond the bright green color this polish behaves nothing like a neon. It's a jelly! I love jellies! It's sheer of course and pictured is 3 coats. It goes on pretty smoothly and doesn't cure to a hard finish, but I really love this polish. I highly recommend it.
the last of my swatches today is Sinful Colors in Nirvana. I'm typically not big on brown, but this one is kind of different. It's a beautiful grayish brown cream polish with great coverage. This is only 2 coats, and I feel like if my first coat had been a bit thicker I might have been able to pull off a single coat. Usually I would say Browns are more of a Fall/Winter color, but this shade could easily work all year round.
Thanks for reading!
