We're cool for the summer. 😎

Today, I've got some fun neon nail art featuring the Black-owned indie brand, Tinted Paradise. 

Admittedly, these nails sat in my drafts for about a year. I've done my fair share of nail painting in my time under Big Rona, but actually editing the photos and the blog posts were another thing entirely.

To start this mani I did 2-3 coats of Sundazed. Next, I added one coat of Holographic.What I will mention about this holographic topper is how incredibly subtle it is even outside under direct sunlight.

After I laid down my base for these nails, I stamped over it using a miscellaneous white stamping polish and Maniology Teenage Dream  BM-P103 to reach the final look.

After sealing with my go-to quick dry top coat, these eye-searing nails were ready for the summer sun. And by summer sun I mean my solo & socially distant bike ride to the park.

Are you ready for neon nail season? Because y'all know I am. Let's chat in the comments.

Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

EasyNeons do not require any special base coat, and dry matte - but can be worn with a top coat to add a high shine finish. We recommend Naked Manicure Ultra Glossy Seal. Due to the unique matte formulation, color is typically not as long-wearing as traditional nail color. Z-Wide Brush is included!

Because what's not to love about fun shades in ombré form + some gold foil?

 

When the press release first landed in my inbox, I immediately knew the cremè lacquers were gonna be my go-to's. And if y'all have learned anything about me in the last decade, it's that crème finishes rank pretty high up for there for me.

I looked at the five colors shown above and immediately knew that I wanted them in an ombré that extends from my thumb to my pinky. So I picked the color order I wanted and decided that each nail would have two colors each. However, when I finished, I felt like something was missing. 

 

Once I finished the ombré, I went digging for a gold foil set that I have had for probably seven years. Yes. You read that right. I had this same foil for seven years. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've used it in that time. Do I love it? Yes. Do I feel like I need to use it every time I paint my nails?

We're coming up on a year of quarantine. How have you been adorning your nails in lockdown? Tell me in the comments.

Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.
