China Glaze: Pink Plumeria



Neons have been all over the place this summer. Although I love bright colors, they've gotten a little bit redundant. The new colors coming out for fall have been a welcomed change and I can't wait until I can get my hands on some of them! As I was losing hope that I would ever find a unique neon, I found China Glaze's Summer Neons collection, which has shimmer in the colors, making these different from the countless other neons everywhere. Pink Plumeria is the polish I chose to get from this collection, because, well, look at it!


Pink Plumeria is a beautiful orange based pink. Leaning towards coral, but also a super Barbie pink in some lights. The superfine gold and pink shimmer makes this more unique than the other neons floating around, and also just give this such a beautiful depth and sheen.



I don't know if it was just the fact that I was painting my nails at three in the morning or that it was 90 degrees with a humidity of 98 percent outside, but I found the consistency of the polish a little bit thick and hard to work with, which is something I've come to expect from China Glaze neons. Also as a note, this dries matte so a top coat is necessary. Overall, I love this, what a gorgeous color!

Did anyone else decide to pick up this color, or any other colors from the China Glaze Neons collection?

Chanel: Distraction 549


Hey everyone! I've been so busy going back and forth to the city trying to find an apartment, a job, and make a smooth transition to my new university. So far it's been a lot more time consuming and frustrating than I had ever imagined. Apartment searching is not my favorite thing to do, but I can't wait to be all settled into my first apartment! Oh the decorating possibilities! Anyways, I wanted to show you guys a new polish I've been sporting for the last couple days. Summer is here, and to me that means bright happy colors that shine at the beach!



Chanel Distraction is by far my favorite coral for this summer. Corals have been popping up everywhere in department store nail polishes. What sets this lacquer apart from the rest is the fuchsia shimmer, which makes nails look like they have that "glowing from within" look. The base leans more orange-y, but is balanced out by the pink shimmer. Application was a dream, an easy two-coater with even coverage throughout, no touch-ups needed!

So far, I'm LOVING this color. What did you think about the Chanel Spring 2012 collection?
