Summer Shake - Essence Mellow Yellow, Ulta3 Honolulu, Lush Lacquer Glowsticks

Here's a sunny summer manicure that I did last month.

[Summer Shake]

What better combination than yellow and neon glitter!

[Bottle to nail: Essence Mellow Yellow, Ulta3 Honolulu (2 coats)]

I started with a base of alternate fingers using Essence Mellow Yellow, a pastel yellow creme, and Ulta3 Honolulu, a bright yellow creme. Both were opaque in two coats, but in the general way of yellows, were a bit streaky.

That's where the glitter topper comes in! A popped on a coat of Lush Lacquer Glowsticks, an awesome mix of semi-translucent neon glitter in a clear base.

[Base (2 coats): Essence Mellow Yellow (index and ring), Ulta3 Honolulu (pinky and middle)
Glitter: Lush Lacquer Glowsticks (1 coat)]

Here's the finished look! I did have to do a bit of dabbing to get the glitter pieces exactly where I wanted them. My favourite bits (as I've mentioned before) are the bright blue bars so I made sure to fish up some of them for each nail!
