Everybody Talks - Neon Trees

Pink - Aerosmith (((((DUPE!!!)))))

MY FIRST DUPE POST!!!!!!

I have for you today one of the CLOSEST dupes that I have ever encountered. I have never even seen a blog post a dupe that is THIS close. I bought both of these in the same week thinking that surely they wouldnt be EXACTLY the same... but I was wrong!!!

These colors are China Glaze - Shocking Pink and Sinful Colors - 24/7. Theyre TOTALLLY the same!!!

See they are TOTALLLLY the same... The colors are soooo much alike its insane. I actually wore both of these.. and to be completely honest.. the sinful colors lasted longer with out chipping. I mean they ARE neons, so that was to be expected.. but used a good top coat (color club 0-60) and the china glaze chipped within HOURS of application. completely irritating. However.. it did seem to dry very fast on its own... but the sinful colors did take a bit longer, even with the fast dry top coat.

All in all... the color is fun.. but the price difference is crazy - I paid 5.99 for the china glaze color at sally's beauty... and I paid 1.75 for the Sinful Colors polish. If u just HAVE to have this color - Might I suggest saving a little money and going for the cheaper polish at walgreens! I really did love the Sinful Colors formula more so than the CG!

dontcha think thats a CLOSE dupe?? I do.

HI KIDS!!! Its me, Summer.

Lots of things happened today... First of all, Hanson released tour dates!!! I spent most of the morning mapping out where I wanted to see them, and how many shows I was going to get to attend this tour! I'm hoping I will get to see at least 3 maybe 4 if life cooperates haha.. Seconnndddd.. Casey Anthony was found NOT GUILTY. I have no words. NO WORDS! Also... my poor little dachshund hurt her leg.. we thought it was broken but thank God it wasn't!

Anyway... onto what you're here for! TIE DYE NAILSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love this design. I didn't know if I would love it because I had never done it before and was only doing it because I wanted to play with the new e.l.f polishes that I had bought earlier.. I chose this song as the title because my boyfriend just kept telling me that they remind him of a Rastafarian.. and that is hilarious to me.. and sublime always gives me that feel when I listen to them!

You can definitely tell that I didn't clean up the edges at all because I was entirely too excited about seeing how well they would photograph... I'm such a blogger haha

Up close you can really see the design.. It looks like Water marble but it isn't!!! It's so much easier and cleaner and you can really get a uniform design! It's like marbling for the control freak! haha The only bummer about these pictures is that you can see my poor cracked nail on my middle finger. makes me so SADDDDD. Y'all have any remedies??

Feel free to tell me whatcha think!!!

A Little Too Not Over You - David Archuleta

Earlier this week I tried water marbling on my nails, it totally did NOT work. So I decided to give cheetah nails a try. I had previously worn this look with dark brown, gold and tan, they didnt turn out so well.. this time I use neon colors and Im way happier with the way these turned out.

I did them by painting my full nail with sally hansen's lovely lilac and then adding random spots of bright blue and fuscia, and out lining them with black nail art polish.

Are these a DO or a DON'T???

*** side note: this came on my ipod today, I forgot how much I do love this song.
