As another reminder for days two through four, I will be sharing a new product with you, Nail Candy Nail Art Pens. I am very fortunate to have a dear friend and comrade in fashion, June at JM Princewell on the Oval in New Hampshire. She is the reason I am laced in Pandora, adore Paddywax, and am addicted to Tea Forte. Her taste is impeccable and the experience of her store is unsurpassed. She has a firm commitment to US Made, NH Made, Fair Trade, and For Women By Women products. This is a commendable effort. June is helping to underwrite my challenge by asking me to test the nail art product. I got a bit more fierce with day two...
Spring has definitely sprung and it is evident with the change in fashion, jewelry, fragrance, nail collection releases, and spirit. Warm weather brings out fun and bold style, and I am in love. I took inspiration from a favorite clothing store of mine and as Kelly says " I love me some trigger manicure", so of course I did that, too. This gave me the opportunity to feature two patterns: a modified European toile and a bold Bohemian embroidered pattern.
I also was fortunate to purchase the entire Essie Resort Collection when I was in Florida, I featured In the Cab-ana yesterday, today I'll bring you two more- First Timer and Under Where? This collection is a summer must! Great formulation and it is soft yet fairly universally flattering.
First Timer is a crisp minty-blue creme. (Now that I have accumulated six Essies in the pastel mint-spearmint-fresh mint range there will be a comparison post after the challenge.) The design was created with Nail Candy in Turquoise and Gold Sparkle. Under Where? is a flirty, fierce, luscious lilac creme. The design was created with Nail Candy in Fuchsia and White.
I can't wait to see what all the ladies have done! Please share the comments and share the love...
O my goodness, this is amazingly gorgeous ! I love the colours you used ! Especially Under Where ? , love the name too ! Gorgeous , cant wait to see your bunnies tomorrow. ♥

DeleteI adore how your nail arts look perfect and pro! This is so neat and well made that I can't belive you only started with the thing a few time ago. Here the trigger looks better then ever and I love the indian and summery flow in it. very creative too. perfection.
ReplyDeleteAll amateur here! But I love doing it... thank you so much for your beautiful words!
DeleteI love these! Your trigger manis are always awesome! The two colors look so good together too!
ReplyDeletethanks, Kelly! I adore these colors... they look sooooo good. They are summer perfection.
DeleteDo you want to come over and paint my nails? :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this is so fun looking for summer...I hope you wore this while you were in Florida. Because this screams Miami or something to me. These would be fun pedicure colors. I going to have to start bringing the bolder polishes that I don't wear to have them use them on my toes.
yeah sure! I'll bring snacks and we can watch a movie, too :)
DeleteI definitely had it in FL... it was a big hit. Yes, go get an awesome bright pedi color- you can rock it, Hayley!
