"Can I get a Untz-Untz?!"

Well, my summer is officially over halfway over.

:/

Teachers have to be back in less than a month.

BUT, I'm still in summer mani mode,

so I'm keeping those coming.

Today's mani features the happy glitter from CG's Electric Nights collection,

'Can I get a Untz-Untz?" over CG's 'Boho Blues':

'Can I get a Untz-Untz?" has variously sized lime green, purple, neon green, and neon blue glitters.

I didn't really even notice the purple glitter until I swatched it,

and I'm glad they used all of the the 'cool' colors for this glitter.

I actually really liked it over 'Boho Blues', as well.

As with the other glitters from their summer collection,

formula was GREAT, and I didn't have to fish for any glitters a single time.

:D

That's saying something!

*FeStIvAl* look

Well, it's that time of year!

Festivals are everywhere you go.

I recently just came back from Bonnaroo,

and the amazing Electric Forest started yesterday.

There are a million & a half things you'll see at festivals,

but all the bright/neon lights/colors are one of the first things I think of aside from the music.

As such, I decided to revisit my Sleek Acid palette & create a fun, festy look!

I used:

UD Primer Potion

Various Sleek Acid palette shadows

Covergirl Line Exact liquid eyeliner

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

The blending isn't quite as good as I would have liked,

but it's not too bad.

Either way, to me- it's fun and definitely something reminiscent to me of a festival!

:)

CG's 'Point me to the Party'

I have a lively, happy glitter for ya'll today.

After being at Bonnaroo this past week,

I'm all about some bright/happy/neon/hippie stuff.

Hence, I FINALLY watched 'Point me to the Party' from CG's Electric Nights collection.

I've swatched it over Essie's 'Muchi Muchi':

This reminds me strongly of a neon glitter that Polish Me Silly (previously Lush Lacquer) put out a couple years ago.

Consistency was great, and I actually did NOT have to fish for glitters- which was awesome!

I love it :)

CG's Electric Nights Summer collection- 'Treble Maker'

Happy Weekend!

It's a nice, long 3-day weekend for tons of people here in the States.

Lots of sunshine, boating, drinking, eating, and general partying is going on :P

As such, I have a bright, party-isn neon for you today.

I have to apologize in advance for my nails.

I had to pack up my classroom for the summer,

and the boxes/moving were not kind to my nails :/

Anyway, here's 2 coats of 'Treble Maker'.

'Treble Maker' is a neon lime/blue-green that is sure to draw attention.

Formula was good; not streaky or thin like CG's Spring collection.

Opacity was good- it only took 2 coats to reach :)

CG's Electric Nights collection- 'Glow with the Flow'

Ittttttt's almost May!

What?! How is that even possible?

Anyway, May = summer, and summer = neons.

THUS, I have yet another neon from CG's Electric Nights collection :)

Here's 3 coats of 'Glow with the Flow':

Just as it looks, 'Glow with the Flow' is a vivacious neon pink :)

It's probably one of my favorites from the collection, as simple as it is.

Consistency was good, and it took 3 coats- but it was opaque after that.

I love it! :)

CG's Electric Nights collection- 'Home Sweet House Music'

Sorry I've been so MIA lately!

The end of the school year is crazy for teachers.

As such, I've had literally no time to blog, create looks, and I haven't even had my nails painted half the time :(( Sad.

Anyway, I found some time today to quickly swatch a new neon I got form CG's Summer 2015 collection Electric Nights.

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS COLLECTION.

I love neons anyway, but I'm a pretty bug EDM fan & go to a ton of shows,

so this collection is right up my alley ;)

First up is 'Home Sweet House Music'.

Here's 3 coats:

'Home Sweet House Music' is a pretty typical, lovely neon orange.

It reminds me of 'Sun Worshiper' from their 2010 Poolside collection.

The consistency was a little watery,

but overall- I like it :)

Grass is Lime Greener

I have my last polish from China Glaze's City Flourish collection to show you today.

It's easily my second favorite of the bunch.

This bad boy is essentially a neon and SCREAMS awesomeness.

Here's 3 coats of 'Grass is Lime Greener'.

'Grass is Lime Greener' is a (shockingly!) neon lime green creme.
IT'S AMAZEBALLS.
Totally perfect for the coming summer.
I can already tell I'll be wearing it to every show I got to :)

CG's NEW 'Petal to the Metal'

This is probably my most FAVORITE polish of this season, period.

and i loveddddddd that polish. Still do :)

Here's 3 coats of 'Petal to the Metal' from CG's City Flourish Spring 2014 collection.

February Favorites :)

It's been embarrassingly long since I've done a favorites post,

I'm ashamed to say.

Sorry about that!

Things have just been insane with my student teaching the past semester and a half.

Now  I finally have some time to do it, though.

So here they are!

1. Revlon Matte Balm Stain in 'Elusive'.

*NOT my picture. Credit to allurabeauty.com

This has quickly become my newest favorite lip color.

It's muted/dusty enough that it works for Winter,

but it's also bright enough that it works for the coming Spring.

See my swatch of this bad boy here.

2. Too Faced Jingle All the Way makeup set

This makeup set has been my go-to to create my everyday daytime look.

The neutrals in it are fantastic,

with lovely shimmer.

See a FULL review of it that I just did here.

3. Victoria's Secret perfume 'Tease'

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS FRAGRANCE.

That is all :)

Go buy it if you know what's good for you.

4. Mystic Nights pt.2 Look

I was really pleased with how whimsical and fun this look turned out to be.

It's a bit more dramatic than I usually do,

but it's been probably my favorite from this month.

See the crazy purple/blue lip I paired with it here.

Zoya 'Layla'

I bought this polish LAST Valentine's Day,

but every time I use it, I'm thrilled all over again that I bought it.

Such a bright, happy pink! 

Also, my daughter's name ;P

5. Soft Valentine's Day look

This has been my other favorite look from this month.

I really loved how soft the purple and pinks were together,

and the gradient of that light to dark purple in the crease.

I'm quite pleased with it :)

What are ya'll's thoughts on these?

Which is YOUR favorite?
