Rise and shine, morning glory. 🙂 TGIF! After feeling like I caught up on sleep last night, I felt like wearing something bright on my nails today and picked Milani’s Neon Nail Lacquer in Awesome Orange ($5), one of the eight colors in their Neon Nail Lacquer collection that came out a couple months ago.
LOVE the texture… It’s so thin and easy to apply but still produces an even pigmentation. That’s me wearing three coats in the picture up there (I kinda rushed through ’em). Nice solid opacity.
How about you? What are you sporting on your fingers and/or toes?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Hypnotic by Hard Candy on my toes. It’s a pretty peachy pink sparkly color
Hi Lisa S.,
That sounds really pretty.
Have a great Friday!
OPI DS Coronation, its one of their new Designer series colors and its a silver shimmery shade with a dust of glitter. I love it cause the glitter in it is so fine that it just gives off a pretty sparkle without the preteen chunky glitter look! LOL
I’m super picky about my glitter too. If I’m gonna rock the glitter on my nails it’s gotta be “good” glitter, ya know?
I’m currently rocking CalGel 🙂 in an almost bridal design…..
.-= Kasey’s last blog post… Links à la Mode for April 22nd =-.
Nice! I’ve never done CalGel but I have a girlfriend who swears by ’em.
Zoya Zara + Chanel Illusion d’Or + a gold glitter tip and heart rhinestones on thumb and ring fingers.
.-= Catherine’s last blog post… Two Chanel Illusion d’Or NOTWs (PicSpam) =-.
Cute!! 🙂
Happy Friday!
Audrey, by China Glaze.
.-= Allegra’s last blog post… La nueva máscara de MAC: Opulash =-.
That color always reminds me of summer. 🙂
Essie’s Playa del Platinum from the Resort Collection. It’s so cute and khaki/gray…it looks like melted sand.
Oh, I’m waiting for my Essie order to arrive 🙂
.-= Allegra’s last blog post… La nueva máscara de MAC: Opulash =-.
You’re gonna love it! Playa and Lapis of Luxury are perfect.
I gotta give a big YAY for everything in that Essie collection. LOVED all the colors!
Fingers: Black Cherry Chutney underneath a light (very glittery) layer of Holiday Glow
Tootsies: french tips…boooooring
You’re so lucky you can get away with french tips on your toes! I have very long toes and when I do french tips on ’em they look like monkey feet, oy!
At this very moment nothing, I’m about to do a mani. i’m not sure what to put on yet. I’m thinking of wearing Chanel Lilac Sky. I wish my new Chanels or Essies had arrived today, I’m waiting on Chanel Illusion d’Or, Gold Lame & Black Velvet and Essie Turquoise & Caicos, Splash of Grenadine and Lapis of Luxury. Plus I can’t wait to order Chanel Nouvelle Vague and Riviera in the next couple of days when they are finally released here in the UK!
As you can see I have small nail polish hoarding problem!
I can’t wait for you to get your new colors… I think you’ll especially love the those Essie shades. 😀
Essie’s Mint Candy Apple on my toes 🙂 It’s so pretty 🙂
.-= Karen B’s last blog post… LuShae Jewelry =-.
LOVE Mint Candy Apple. That color always cheers me up!
How are you? Got any exciting plans for the weekend?
Nars’ Adelita on fingers, MAC’s Vestral White on toes.
Hi Kate,
Cute! Happy Friday. 🙂
Sinful Colors – Secret Admirer on fingers and Zoya – Yasmeen on the toes
Leighton Denny – Some Like It Hot
I love this polish, it’s a muted bubblegum pink (if such a thing exists…) and lasts for so long!
.-= Lucy’s last blog post… Getting near 150 followers! =-.
Wear time is a big thing for me too. Does it stand up to chipping well? I am always at the keyboard so I need a polish that lasts.
YES! I have a similar Milani shade, and its such a fun color! =) I’m wearing OPI’s My Daddy’s the King on my nails, which I lurrrvvv… it’s a nude-ish pink with a slight shimmer. And OPI’s Have a Tempura Tan-Trum on my toes! Hope you have a rad weekend, Karen!
.-= YJ’s last blog post… Assembly Required. =-.
OPI has the best names. I kinda wish I thought up Tempura Tan-Trum, ha ha ha!
You have a great weekend, too! Got any exciting plans?
Haha! My friend made fun of me because I looked at every name under the bottle in the salon before picking a color… =P
Just some family coming to town, which should be crazy with all the kids running around! You?
.-= YJ’s last blog post… Assembly Required. =-.
Names are a big thing for me. If the name isn’t right I won’t even attempt to go there. 🙂
Tomorrow I’m going into SF for something called WordCamp (a seminar for WordPress bloggers), which should be fun. On Sunday I’ll probably just chill at home and do errands… kinda boring, but honestly, I don’t mind. I like having the downtime!
Yes! I agree! And OPI definitely takes the cake for best names =)
Ooooo, that sounds interesting! I hope you learn lots of stuff at the seminar! And I (most of the time) prefer boring weekends to catch up on some rest and relax too. So I hope you have an uber relaxing, uber fun and informative weekend!!! =D
.-= YJ’s last blog post… Assembly Required. =-.
Im wearing Yellow Kitty by Sally Hansen..which I want to love, but don’t! I put it on last night and it took 4 coats, because it was so watery! I’ve used Sally before, so I was unpleasantly surprised! And it’s already icky looking today, so I will be taking it off. I am however rocking Urban Decay Apocalypse on my toes and loving it!
That’s a bummer. Usually SH is so good w/the formulas!
I’m wearing orange too! Today is a national holiday in the Netherlands and orange is the Dutch symbol, so everything is orange today!
How cool! I guess if I was kicking it in the Netherlands today I’d totally fit in. 🙂
What does the holiday celebrate?
Revlon Minted, how I love this colour, I’ve been wearing this a lot. I guess I need a backup since it’s limited edition. But I’m feeling a bit bored about it, so I’m planning to get some new OPI or ZOYA nail polishes =D.
The neon orange is so stunning! Too bad I don’t have the courage to rock neon colours.
.-= Rica’s last blog post… WLC resumes today =-.
You could totally do this orange, hon! It’s not as obnoxious as other orange neons, which is one of the reasons why I like it. 🙂
I have Essie A-List (my fave red shade) on my fingers and OPI’s Lucky Lucky Lavender on my toes. I don’t match at all!
LOL, I do that all the time! 🙂
OPI Jade is the New Black–I’m thinking of changing them today because they’re all chipped, but I love the color!
Do you remember the article from NY Times a few years ago about purposefully chipped nails being “in”? 🙂
Essie’s BBF Bestboy Friend on fingers, and Chinchilly on mah toes. BBF gives my fingers a nice, fresh feel without just putting a top coat or something on.
.-= Ambrrr’s last blog post… ambrrr: "I’m a US Citizen – obviously, you can tell by my voice." – QUALITY C-SPAN caller. =-.
LOL, I totally meant “Best Boyfriend.” I’ve got Friday brain!
.-= Ambrrr’s last blog post… ambrrr: "I’m a US Citizen – obviously, you can tell by my voice." – QUALITY C-SPAN caller. =-.
No worries! I think I’ve got a dose of Friday brain too.
BTW, love love love Chinchilly. 🙂
I’m wearing MAC’s Black Enough on my fingers and Sephora for OPI’s What’s a Tire Jack? on my thumbs with shiny tips on the matte nails and matte tips on the shiny thumbs. And I’ve got Orly foil fx in Shine (the silver one) on my toes.
Oooh, sounds fancy!
Fingernails: A white Sally Hanson nail polish with an opalescent Luzier nail polish on top. It’s bright and light. I like it. ‘Twas an experiment.
Toenails: A sparkly reddish-pink from an unknown generic brand.
Nope, I don’t match.
.-= Trisha’s last blog post… Makeup Review: Avon SuperExtend Mascara =-.
Nice! I like it when nail experiments work.
Happy Friday!
Right now, I am wearing Sephora by OPI in Wardrobe Change but I get my Zoya exchange polishes today so I’ll be changing them soon 🙂
That’s exciting! I love getting new polish colors!
Opi Japanese Rose Garden on my fingers, and Miami Beet on my toes. Planning on changing this weekend, but haven’t figured out to what yet. Maybe this thread will give me some ideas 🙂
Nicole – You’re an Angel! And it looks gorgeous in the sunlight! 🙂
I’ve never tried the Nicole polishes. How’s the texture/wear time?
Sephora by opi: Read My Palm. its kind of like a seafom green.
Sounds pretty, Dee Dee!
I just got that one this week, I think Im going to try it next, and jazz it up with a glittery topcoat..
Happy Friday!! Made it!
On fingers, I have “Show Me the Ring” from Essie’s latest Wedding Collection. This mani is definitely on its last legs. I think Essie Curtain Call is next up.
On toes, it’s Suzy Says Feng Shui from OPI’s Hong Kong Collection. It’s three weeks in and has held up very well!
Blue me away Sally Hansen Xtreme on toes, finger nails waiting for skittles nails!! just have to get a good yellow
sally hansen “gilty pleasure”
.-= Kelsey’s last blog post… Look of the Day (err.. Yesterday) =-.
That orange is HOT!
Unfortunately I’m giving my nails a break from the rainbow game. But something I’ve really been liking is my Healthy Hoof cream. That stuff is bomb! I wear slippers a lot and I hate it when your toe nails ain’t did and they look kinda ashy and dead. Putting on the cream before I head out of the door makes my toes look nice and fresh, like just got out of the shower fresh. Love it!
.-= Stephie’s last blog post… You need this: MAC Studio Finish Concealer =-.
I have Essie Turquoise and Calcos on my toes and Chanel Nouveau Vague on my fingers.
.-= amy’s last blog post… Once and Again NOTD with American Apparel Nail Lacquer in Office =-.
I am wearing Milani’s neon pink (the lighter shade) on my toes. Love it! I can’t help but wear open-toed shoes EVERYWHERE!
right now, essie’s lilacism. such a pretty spring color..i’ve got a few compliments on it : )
I’m actually wearing a new one, Inglot 306 (pink coral), on one nail only, all week. I have not had time to do all the nails yet!
Currently wearing Chanel Nouvelle Bague. Managed to get myself a bottle before it became sold out everywhere 🙂 I love it!
Oops. Nouvelle VAGUE haha.
I’m rocking Milani too! I found this amazing, super-metallic set at my local CVS! The one I’m wearing is called “I’m Online” and it’s a fabulous light copper or rosy gold! I am fully enamored! 🙂
I’ve got a french manicure on my toes,and matte vinyl from Orly on my nails
Just got manicures with my friend on Wednesday, so I have a gorgeous shade of neon pink. I don’t know the brand, but I WANT it so bad!!
.-= K’s last blog post… The Flying Trapeze =-.
MAC’s Vintage Vamp, nothin’ on the toes 🙂 TGIF!
OPI Light My Sapphire, a sophisticated bluish anthracite with fine shimmer. I love such colours – almost black, so people around think i just wear black most of the time 😀 Colour-blind fools, they’re all different! 😀
both essie!
hands – splash of grenadine – LOVE
toes – swept of my feet
both colors have put me in a total Spring mood!!
Waters Edge by L’Oreal, i think that is the name anyway. It is my wedding color 🙂
Essie “Status Symbol” on my toes – a bright pink, and a dark bluish slate grey polish by the Scandinavian brand Depend on my fingers. It feels refreshing to wear dark colours in spring 😀
spiced latte by maybelline 🙂 love it
Chipped Chick Flick Cherry by OPI. Which reminds me I need to take the polish of my fingers. And also chipped Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not also by OPI on my toes. Too bad I can’t spring for a mani/pedi 🙁 yay for being a broke college student.
.-= Rachael’s last blog post… License to Thrill: I Wanna be a Bond Girl =-.
Nails: OPI Chapel of love + China Glaze Preppy pink (which has glitters)
– I feel like they compliment each other really well as i am into glitters lately.. hahaha!
Toes: Orly Super natural
although my favorite nail polishes are essie…. but chapel of love is really really pretty its my current fave!
On nail and toes, Chanel’s Particuliere. I finally got it and I love it 🙂
.-= Lindsey’s last blog post… Makeup Breakdown: Christina Aguilera’s “Not Myself Tonight†=-.
Hey there! New here…I’ve been reading for a few weeks now. I love your blog! I’m wearing Essie’s “Chubby Cheeks.” Feeling the coral/orange thing at the moment…
On my toes I have OPI charged up cherry but my fingers are bare (shocking!)
Russian Roulette by Essie on my fingers and toes! LOVE THIS COLOR! It’s the perfect red!
I’m just wearing For Audrey on my toes… Hehe I tend to start painting my nails really late at night so didn’t get to my fingers. (Plus it’s a strategy to do my toes first, because I don’t want to ruin my painted nails by clipping/filing toe-nails after :P)
illamasqua Muse.
Right now I’ve got on Nicole by OPI’s Global Beauty… a medium blueish green with shimmer (although it looks less shimmery than what the bottle would indicate). It’s my first time trying the brand, so hopefully it will last a while without chipping and/or tip wear.
That orange looks gorgeous on you. Love warm colours, but unfortunately they don’t look very good on me!
I’m wearing SpaRitual “crystal eyes” – a creamy ocean blue color. I love it!
http://www.aveyou.com/sparitualcrystaleyesnaillacquer.aspx
It’s from the new The SpaRitual Kaleidoscope collection that launches on May 1st 2010.
.-= The Fashionable Housewife’s last blog post… Best Bathing Suits for Summer 2010: inca Collection =-.
On my fingers – nothing at the moment, but I plan to polish them this weekend with an OPI polish called I Pink I Love You. Got a pedicure last week and I think it’s called Por Amour (or something like that), and it’s an OPI polish.
On my nails, I’m wearing Orly Teeny Bikini. It’s more corally than I expected, but I really like it. I have OPI’s Dress to Empress on my toes.
OPI Jade is the new black. I love green! Feel like I’m wearing spring
For Audrey by China Glaze on my fingers and toes! It’s a Tiffany/robin’s egg blue that feels very spring-y 🙂
I am using Sephora by OPI’s Metro Chic.
.-= marisol’s last blog post… Products I am Loving =-.
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Virtual Violet with Shooting Star on top.
.-= Michelle’s last blog post… Wish List =-.
I was wearing For Fun, by MAC, but I was so bored I picked it all off. 😡
China Glazes LOL for my nails. It’s a gorgeous purple holo.
Sally Hansens Fire Opal for my toes. It’s a nice pale shade that doesn’t distract, but still makes my toes look like I put a little effort into them.
OPI’s Rumple’s Wiggin’. As far as I can see it hasn’t been released yet(at least on the OPI website) so I was happily surprised that my salon had it in.
