Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hello Everyone!

Today I have quick nail art post for St. Patrick's Day! These are simple designed I created and I will list the details below! Let me know what you think in the comments! :)

This first nail design was created using Ali by Julep from the Pop of Color collection. I then went over Ali with Snow-Flakes by Color Club. Using stripers from a nail supply store, I created a tartan look with black, white, gray, yellow and gold glitter. On the ring finger, I used a golden four leaf clover nail decal, which was received from my Julep Maven Pop of Color box! I thought that Ali would make for an interesting St. Patrick's Day Mani as it is a very soft and light mint color.

This second look was my first try ever at sponging ombre nails! They were much easier than I thought to do and will definitely try more sponging in the future. First I painted my nails white using Correction Tape by Spoiled. I went around my cuticles with No More Mess Liquid Nail Tape by Polished Colors (this made it so that I could easily peel off any excess color that got onto my fingers while sponging). Then, I painted Roc Solid by Julep, Lime Sundae by Lilypad Lacquer, and Innocent by Sinful Colors onto the sponge. I gently sponged the colors onto my white base and then did a second layer when the first was dry. To finish this look, I put two layers of As Gold as it Gets by Essie and two layers of Out the Door top coat. The gold three leaf clover is also from the same Julep decal sheet as before.

I love these manis and I am currently wearing them on both of my hands haha! I have been into wearing a different manicure on each hand lately. Don't forget to let me know what you think!

Until next time,

LilypadLacquer - Lemon Sundae & Lime Sundae

Hello Everyone!

Today I am swatching some neon goodness from Australia! I have been searching high and low for completely opaque neon yellow and green polishes for a long, long time now. Thankfully, Llarowe lead me to these two colors from LilypadLacquer!

Swatches below!

Lemon Sundae is a toxic neon yellow creme polish. My camera had a really hard time capturing the color, so the colors here are not accurate. The formula was very smooth and consistent. I DID however have to use three coats as it was quite streaky.

Lime Sundae is a neon green creme. I used one and a half coats to gain opacity. This formula is the same as Lemon Sundae.

I definitely am happy I was able to find these two polishes. They will be AMAZING during the summer time! They are also staple neon colors. I have been trying so hard to find a yellow and green like this that are completely opaque. Totally worth the money! :)

You can purchase LilpadLacquer on the Llarowe website if you are in the United States.

Until next time,
