Tips for: Neon Nails

Have you ever had a hard time getting your nails to look like the colour in the bottle?

Try using a white nail polish underneath! 

Just like your eye shadows show up more vibrant when you use a base, your nail polish can do the same thing.

Simple apply a white nail polish as your first base, then add the neon colour of your choice. 

Volila! Bright neon nails. 

Give it a try. 

Essie Nail Polish- Fiji

I have found my new 'go-to' nail polish...Fiji by Essie.

Fiji is a beautiful pale pink color that is flattering on any skin tone. I love the versatility of the color because it  can go with anything you wear.

However, applying just one coat will not do- not only will it not give the true color, but it will leave your nails streaky. 

I had to apply 3 coats to get the color to my liking.

Although Fiji might sound like a name that is part of some tropical collection, you will be glad to know that it is part of the permanent line. 

The color is also comparable to OPI's Mod About You.

Definitely a must-have to your collection in my opinion. 

Summer Time Nails

Even if you are not a big fan of putting on accessories like earrings, necklaces, rings, etc. or carrying around the latest trendsetting handbags there is one accessory that you can always play up: your nails!

The best part about your nails as an accessory is that you can easily change them  just by applying a different shade of nail polish! 

Personally, I tend to always gravitate toward pink shades when it comes to nail polish ( I even end up buying similar shades thinking I don’t have ‘that’ pink shade). I also love to find shades that suit a good tan in the summer! Here are some of my lucky 7 picks:

1) Borghese- Raspberry Sorbetto (bright Fuschsia)- One of my favorites atm! The color is so opaque! All you need is one coat! 

2) L.A. Colors- Lightning (neon pink)

3) L.A. Colors - Magnetic  Force (coral with gold shimmer)

4) Joe Fresh- Coral- (light coral pink)

5) Avon- Tangtastic  (vibrant red with orange undertone)

6) Forever 21 Love& Beauty- nude? ( pink beige with a little shimmer) Wearing nude colors on your nails not only make your fingers look longer, but they also make you look like you have a little tan!

7)  Essie- Mint Candy Apple (pastel blue green) Pastel colored bikinis are very popular this summer,  so why not extend those beautiful colors on your nails!

 

Clearly there are enough colors for nail polish no matter what color you like. Go ahead, choose a color that matches your mood this summer! :)
