Essie Sunday Funday

I am over the moon excited for Essie's Summer collection, Naughty Nautical. I've been hunting for them everywhere and finally Anna at Business Lady Polish posted about finding them at Target. I restrained myself from getting all of them and just went with two. This is Sunday Funday. It's a bright corally orange shade that feels positively summery on my nails. It's hard to see in the pic but I still have an ever so slightly visible nail line. I did three coats, so next time I'll probably do a coat of white first. This also has a very subtle shimmer to it. Like I said, I'm completely in love with it. I'm trying to decide which two to buy next!
Did you pick up any polishes from this collection?

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

Oh geez, look at the horrible chipping around my cuticles. Anyways, I was in the mood for something BRIGHT and Flip Flop Fantasy definitely fits that. My picture is coming off a touch more orange than it is in real life but very close. It's a neon and neons tend to dry matte or with a rubbery/plastic-y finish. Two coats of OPI Alpine Snow and two coats of FFF and a coat of Seche Vite. Honestly, this mani made me feel like I was in elementary school again, painting my nails with white out and coloring them with highlighters. FFF on it's own would take 4-6 coats. This is actually my right hand because it started chipping so bad on my left I couldn't bear to show you. I can't tell if it's because of so much polish or just a poor application on my part.
End of April and I got 5 posts in this month! I'm making it a goal for May to have more frequent and regular posts. We will see how that goes...

China Glaze Make Some Noise

What's this? Three posts in one week? It must be a miracle. Nope, I'm just taking more time to take care of me and enjoy my favorite hobby, polish. This is CG Make Some Noise from the Electropop collection. It looks so much more orange here than it does in real life. But that does answer my question. It's definitely a red in real life but I couldn't figure out if it was a coral based red or a blue based red. How could I not tell? It's just so so red. Anyways, 2 coats and OPI top coat. Some bubbling for sure but not super noticeable from arms length. I'm fairly happy with this one. I don't think I have anything else quite like it.
My next polish I'll post early next week. It's one that's near and dear to me. Have you ever had one of those colors, be it polish or lipstick or eyeshadow, that you wear for special or significant events? Yeah, that's the next polish I'll be showing.
