What's Hot – Neon Nail Tutorial

Neon nails are super hot right now, but it can be a little intimidating for the average gal to wear "traffic cone orange" on her fingers. The easiest way to tone it down? Pare it with a nude. And just for kicks, paint it at a jaunty angle!

1. I chose Fly and Samoan Sand, both by OPI. I know Fly isn't technically a neon, but it is brighter in person than in the pics. And it looked sooo good with Samoan Sand that I just couldn't resist.
2. Paint nails using nude polish, allowing polish to dry thoroughly before continuing to step 2.
3. Take a strip of masking tape and, at an angle, adhere to your nail, pressing into the cuticle and around the nail tip to avoid bleeding.
4. Paint neon over exposed nail. Remove tape while polish is still wet. 

The nude polish may be smudged a little from the masking tape, but a layer of topcoat will mask those imperfections.

Now you can wear neon with pride! I had to get into the neon fun too. Remember the "traffic-cone orange" I mentioned earlier? Well…

I'm not afraid of a little NEON! I'm wearing Gelish polish in Tiki Tiki Laranga .

Have you embraced the neon trend?

On Trend – Colored Denim

I'm sure you've seen all the colored denim out there right now. Maybe you've rocked it yourself. At the conference I visited last month, I was surrounded by jeans in every color of the rainbow. It was a little bit like this.

Second Skin by Hudson JeansI, unfortunately, cannot take part in this trend. Not in pant form anyway. (No one needs to see me looking like a bright-colored construction barrel.) But there is a way for me to wear something besides blue jeans this spring.

Enter…the colored denim jacket.

They're available plenty of colors and price points. So if you're a chunky monkey like me, try one of these on for size!
