Yellow Highlights

I'm going to combine a few manicures in interest of time.  I went through a yellow phase a few weeks back.  I love the bright, sunny and happy feelings I get when I paint with yellow.

Yellow Polka Dot:

Yellow Polka Dot is painted with three coats of China Glaze Electric Pineapple and I added blue glitter flakes from Esther's Nail Center.  Seche Vite was my top coat.

Highlighted:

I painted three coats of OPI Miami Beet on all fingers but ring, and added LA Splash Glitter in Midnight Star.  My ring finger was a base two coats of China Glaze Electric Pineapple, an addition of China Glaze Lighthouse and a final top fo China Glaze Celtic Sun.  Seche Vite was used for the top coat.

Yellow + Blue = Green

This manicure was a mini illusion. I recently purchased a new Shatter polish from OPI and paired that teal Shatter over a yellow manicure and green hues popped up all over the place.

I first painted three coats of Sally Hansen HD Hi Definition Nail Color in Lite. I added some yellow glitter to the top half of my nail and once the manicure was dry, I added OPI Turquoise Shatter and painted a thin line of China Glaze Platinum Silver to delineate the line between the color blocking. I painted one coat of Seche Vite to seal.

Spring Bloom

The sun and my warm car have been making me think of spring and wishing here very soon.  So I polished to my mood.

I used a pale yellow base coat from China Glaze Lemon Fizz.  Then I used Konad plate m65 for the flowers and layered Orly Rage first (it's a rose-colored foil color from their new spring line), followed by Orly Passion Fruit (a pink neon) on top.  Then I used Seche Vite on top.

Flare up

Unfortunately Zebra Glam was only meant for one day on my nails.  They started to chip today and chipping means me picking and that means and imperfect manicure--which these days just isn't allowed.  That meant a re-paint, which is also unfortunate because I really don't like this manicure.  This was a case of the perception and visual in my head was way better and more exciting than what actually ended up on my nails.  Boo.  But it's late and I put in effort and this blog is dedicated to the nails iPolished--good and bad, so here you go:

The base color is China Glaze Solar Power.  I used Konad Plate m63 for the flame tips.  Then painted a coat of Goldilocks Rocks, and orange sparkle from OPI over the whole nail followed by a coat of Seche Vite.
