Nuts For Neon!

Why, oh why has it taken me this long to discover the awesomeness of neons? I am hooked. I was at Walgreens with Nicole last week and they had a big Sinful Colors display called "Neon Night." Oh my goodness, it was fantastic. They had about 7 or 8 neon colors that looked especially striking against the black display stand they were sitting on. I wanted to buy them all, but settled on two - an orange and a purple. (I may have to go back and get the rest.) The think I like about Sinful Colors is, first of all, the range of colors they have, and the fact that it's an inexpensive line. Each polish is only about $1.99, which is pretty fantastic. I remember reading a tip in a magazine about neon polishes, and they recommended putting down a layer of white polish first, so then the color would really pop. So the above picture is #113, "Dream On," on top of #1, "Snow Me White." Unfortunately the photo makes "Dream On" look kind of pink, but it's actually a purple polish. I really can't believe how different it looks in the photo. I'll have to try taking a new one. Oh, well. I still recommend it.

My new neon nails inspired me to dig out a lime green eye shadow I had purchased actually quite awhile ago, I just have never tried it out for some reason. I had even more incentive to try it when I found out that Leesha had used it in a Seventeen blurb last August (how cool is it that the magazine featured her?! She was also in the March 2010 issue!). So, this is CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Lime Alive:

FYI, this photo is a much better representation of the color. I ended up loving this shadow so much, I wore it two days in a row (it even matches perfectly with one of the greens in my NYX glitter palette!). I found that the same principle I used for my nails worked equally as well on my eyes; the color popped a lot more when applied on top of a white eye shadow primer.

I love the neons for summer - they give off a nice, fresh vibe (although I'm sure I'd personally wear them any time of the year!).
