Neon Tips Nail Art

I did a very simple yet pretty neon french tips using the colors for the Neons by OPI collection!

Check them out!

Neon Tips Nail Art

For my base, I used OPI Don't Touch My Tutu - a very sheer white jelly polish for a healthy looking nail bed, and paint on the tips using stripping tapes and the Neons by OPI polishes.

Thumb - OPI Push & Pur-Pull 
Index - OPI You are So Outta Lime! 
Middle - OPI Juice Bar Hopping 
Ring - OPI Life Gave Me Lemons 
Pinky - OPI Hotter than You Pink

Comparison: China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs Thistle Do Nicely vs Strike A Rose

Like I've said, there's quite a few pinks in the China Glaze City Flourish collection so I thought I'll do a comparison between them, and with some others!



China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs China Glaze Strike A Rose

China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs China Glaze Strike A Rose

China Glaze Strike A Rose: Middle Finger, Pinky
China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave: Index Finger, Ring Finger

China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs China Glaze Strike A Rose

The difference between these 2 is quite obvious, Strike A Rose is creamy with shimmers while Peonies & Park Ave is just neon.

Strike A Rose is also darker, slightly magenta.



China Glaze Strike A Rose vs China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely

China Glaze Strike A Rose vs China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely

China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave: Index Finger, Ring Finger
China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely: Middle Finger, Pinky

China Glaze Strike A Rose vs China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely

Both of these 2 polishes are bright neons with Peonies & Park Ave more pink with a hint of rose, while Thistle Do Nicely is more coral.



China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs China Glaze Heat Index

So I've found a dupe!(almost). Peonies & Park Ave is most likely just the creme version of China Glaze Heat Index.

Heat Index is just a teeny bit brighter and of course sheer, but I think that's just due to the difference in finishing. My boyfriend couldn't tell that they're 2 different polishes until I told him so I think we can safely say they're actually the same color here!

China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely vs China Glaze Shell-O

Another almost dupe here between China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely and China Glaze Shell-O.

You can also tell from the pictures that Shell-O is brighter and shinier. Again, I think is due to the jelly finishing of Shell-O.



The colors are nice, but I would definitely prefer the Jellies from the Neons On The Shore collection compared to these creme ones.

I seriously hope China Glaze would come up with some new colors rather than taking the same colors and put them in different formulas. I feel kind of cheated. :(

Funky Neon Nails For The New Year

Hi Everyone! I finally got the pueen plates which I had wanted for so long but they do not ship out of USA (I got them via SpreeAlley btw), and finally finally got to use them!

So here's what I did for my first mani of 2014!

China Glaze Neon & On & On

How do they look?! I stamped Pueen Plate Pueen07 over China Glaze Neon & On & On.

I'm so in love with these Pueen plates! They have so many beautiful full nail designs that I (almost) only use, and they are so huge as well so I don't need to worry that it wouldnt cover my whole nail.

Major love! Definitely one of the must-get plates for stampers (other than Bundle Monster).

Well, 2014 is going to be an exciting year for me! In this year, I'm getting married, getting my own house for the very first time and I'm going for Honeymoon in the USA! (*Ladies, I'm coming!)

So far, the plan is to visit Florida (for Disney World & Universal Studios), and then head to New York for a few days. Any recommendations of good places to get nail polish around these areas would be greatly appreciated! Or any other states / cities nearby that we can visit would be great too! :)

Hopefully 2014 would be a great year for you as well, whoever you are, reading this post. :)

Cheers to 2014!
