Sonic Bloom; Swatch

Another to add to my swatches, I present to you:

"Sonic Bloom" by Sally Hansen

Sonic Bloom is from Sally Hansen's Fast Dri collection, its a reddish coral shade that is really bright and cheerful for summer. It leans closer to red/pink than some coral shades which I find are more orange. Dry-time is great, they are also super opaque, and wear really well as you can see this is 4 days worth of wear. Be careful though, if this bleeds into your cuticle area like mine, it's going to stick around for a while.

Nail Venus - Summer Floral

So, I saw this image in a Japanese nail magazine called Nail Venus, and I wanted to try it out.

I think I did a fairly decent job replicating it aside from the sponging on the ring finger. It's a cute design, and I love it especially for the end of summer. The base colours I used were "Blazed" by Wet n' Wild (index and pinky fingers) and "Don't Touch My Tutu" by O.P.I(middle and ring finger). On my ring finger the colours I used were: "Pink Flamingo" by Nina Ultra Pro; "Nectar" Sally Hansen; "Blazed" by Wet n' Wild; "White" by Kleancolor; and "Solar Power" by China Glaze.

The little micro beads were a pain to get smoothly around the pearls. I need to find a better way of doing this.

A simple Valentine's day idea. Did some white hearts over top of "Nectar" by Sally Hansen.
