Rainbow Dotting

Sorry for the impromptu hiatus. I had to go to Minneapolis for training. At least I got to do some shopping while up there and scored some nail polish. My husband was a good sport while I browsed through Ulta. (yeah, I brought him with, he golfed while I had to sit and watch power points for 8 hours)

I have big plans for this weekend. There is a golf tournament that my husband participates in every year. I'm going with for shits and giggles, but not participating. I am going more for the after party where the Spazmatics are performing. For those of you who don't know, the Spazmatics are an 80's cover band that dresses as nerds and are thoroughly entertaining. Anyway a bunch of us are getting dressed up in 80's gear to attend this shin-dig. Its going to be totally rad. (just getting into character) =) This will be relevant later....

Anyway on to the nail polish.

  Here is some loot: I got the two stripe rites and the sally girls today. I wanted some neon colors to paint my fingers for the 80's weekend.

Pixel: Spy Wear, the stripe rites didn't have names, Essence: Space Queen, and Sally Girl: 812155 & 812157. (I'm kind of sad that the yellow and pink didn't show up as neon as they are in real life)

 Orly: Fowl Play, After Party, Haley's Comet

Sadly in the last week and a half the long nails I had left tore and so now all my nails are short =(

But I  made the most of it and did a fun mani today.

 I did this on my toes a couple months ago and loved it, so I decided to do it with neon colors. I used my dotting tool to make lines of the different colors. I had some issues with anticipating the spacing but I made it work. I used the yellow stripe rite and the 2 Sally Girl polishes that I mentioned earlier in this post. I also used Wet n Wild's Sunny Side Up, Sally Hansen's Brisk Blue, and Sinful Colors' Innocent. With a white base of Loreal's I Will. and of course Seche Vite fast drying top coat for shine. 

I found my camera that I've had since 2006. I used it for pictures today. I think it takes ok pictures, perhaps a little better than my phone. I think they are both 8 megapixels.

Anyway that's all I have for now, I hope to come up a fun 80's inspired mani to share.


 toodles.....

  1. I really like that blue metallic Orly color. I think your rainbow mani is pretty cute too. Next time we're together I want a manicure from you!
