We've both always wanted to try the nude and neon combo, so what better opportunity? We used Zoya Avery (nude), China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy (pink) and Kiwi Cool-ada (green), and picked stripes and flowers for our theme.

Bestie Twin Nails with Peace, Love and Polish
If you're on Instagram, you've probably seen the bestie twin nails tag going around. So Peace, Love and Polish and I decided to team up and join the fun!

Glitter in the Orange Juice
Everyone has recently been pulling out the oldies but goodies from China Glaze's 2010 summer Poolside Collection, so I figured I'd join in on the fun that is blindingly bright, neon happiness.
Initially, I put one layer of Sun Worshiper over Sally Hansen Whirlwind White:

Fire Crack
Okay, crackle polish was amazing when it first came out; however, not only did that trend last way too long, but it quickly died for me. I think I have used crackle three times. Total. And I only own two of them...
Why do I hate crackles so much?
Well if you really wanna know...
1) They are never opaque, unless it is black, so the base color shows through (except I actually like the effect that gives on this look, it makes it all fiery, adding orange into the mix here and there).
2) They shrink your base color.
3) Half the time they don't crack right and leave huge spots of uncracked polish.
4) They're (or once were) WAY overused... Okay, I have seen blue crackle on green polish, and yellow on black. glitter on glitter, black over rainbow, and blah blah blah. They're just not that original. There are only so many looks you can achieve with a crackle. They're aren't diverse at all. They are kind of like magnetics (another polish I own a whole 2 of), I have seen the blue star, the swirl in brown, silver, black, red, magenta, purple and indigo. Horizontal stripes in green? Check. Vertical stripes in pink? Check. Diagonal stripes in gold? Check. Seen it all, not impressed anymore.

From the Vault - Tigre de Fuego
I still love the look of this design. In fact, I got so many compliments that I ended up doing the same look on two of my nieces and my mother-in-law! =P

Summer Contest Entry Nails
After submitting my contest entry to MadamLuck's Summer Time Nail Art Contest, an epic fail was pointed out to me by a friend: Notice the date says 2001 instead of 2011!! FAIL! Well, here was the design of bright, summery, rainbowness that I came up with for the contest anyway:
