China Glaze You Drive Me Coconuts

China Glaze You Drive Me Coconuts (4 thin coats)

from the Summer 2013 Sunsational Collection

 

Another gorgeous summer shade! I got so many compliments on my Shell-o mani, I knew that this shade from the same collection needed to be my next mani.

 

As with Shell-o, You Drive Me Coconuts needed four thin coats to be even, and there is still a bit of VNL. Also note that since there is neon pigment in it, it does dry matte so I added a topcoat to make it shine.

 

Again, one nice thing about shades that dry matte- they dry super-fast. Super easy mani!

Doesn't this scream Summer? I think we've finally had our last cold snap, and Spring is finally here! However, Spring doesn't last long here- the temp will soon be up in the 90s and I cannot wait!

LOVE the holo!

Sparkling Garbage is from Orly's Summer 2013 Mash Up Collection. Knowing my penchant for holos, I knew I had to have this one, so I ordered it from Amazon recently because I missed it at my local stores. I am in love with Sparkling Garbage! I have heard it is also a great layering polish, but I haven't given that a chance yet. If you have, let me know what you layered it over.

NOTD: Essie Sunday Funday

Essie Sunday Funday

3 coats

 

Sunday Funday is from Essie's Summer 2013 collection and I recently purchased it at Walgreens. It's a pretty coral with a gorgeous shimmer that looks almost flakie like.

 

I found the formula to be somewhat streaky, and although I've seen several blogger say they just needed two coats, I needed 3 to get good coverage.

 

I think this would make a gorgeous pedi color too.
