Items used to complete this mani:
!!WARNING!!!
VERY BRIGHT, IN YO' FACE NAILS BELOW!!
!!WARNING!!
These babies *almost* glowed in the dark last night, ALMOST! I totally forgot to grab the nail polishes that I used for this look, so I will have to update the post tomorrow. I do know the base coat is a brand called BILLIE that was sent to me by DEEZ NAILZ (yes, I am finally getting to these babies, lol!). As far as we could tell Billie is a brand only found in Canada. She picked these up at her local dollar store and posted some swatches on her blog. I immediately fell in love with them. So she sent me about 4-5 bright neons a while ago and I am just now getting to them.
I decided to use the bright as hell neon orange, probably the brightest color of the bunch. I love this orange, what can I say?? It applied very nice, it dried VERY quickly - the only problem I had was I needed several coats so that I couldn't see a visible nail line. It's that strange, dark line you can see not like the white part of the nail, sort of hard to explain, but I think you all know what I mean. I probably did about 6 coats, but it really didn't bother me as it dries SOOOO fast.
I forgot to take pictures of this all on it's own last night though, so I snagged one of Deez Nailz pics she did on her blog:

Ok, tell me that doesn't look like this polish comes battery operated! This looks like a damn neon light hanging in the window of a bar! Even I was a little worried about wearing a color this bright to work, so I decided to tone it down with a full nail konad. Of course I didn't want to kill all the brightness of this, so I went with a hot pink to stamp with. I love it! I even got a compliment from my boss on this mani - which is amazing since this is so not her style what so ever! Plus she has never really complimented me on my nails before. Of course with a mani this bright, how could she not notice, right?

This is going down as one of my favorite manis! I am even thinking of making this my pedi color - wooot!!
Ok, STOP RIGHT HERE! Doesn't it look like the pink circles are just floating on the orange polish? Check out all that shine too! This is just -in the words of my son- awwwwwesommmme! Ok - you can continue now! :)
