Nails of the day! NOTD

Hello beauty lovers!  I tried posting this manicure a few days ago and for whatever reason the images just wouldn't upload which was insanely frustrating! Anywho, I am madly in love with nail polish and have a rather large collection for someone who really just started collecting a short while ago.  Some day soon I'll take a picture of it for your enjoyment haha!

If you read my tag post, I admit to painting my nails almost every day and I very rarely have bare nails because as a former nail biter it is simply too tempting to chew on them.  I use the fact that they are too pretty when polished to keep me from biting on them.

These are the polishes I used for my NOTD.  Nail Tek Foundation II base coat is the best base coat I have ever used.  I never used to even use one until my nails started to yellow from all of the polishes.  Once I did begin using a base coat, I expected my polish to last longer but none of them but this little guy have seemed to do that.  As I mentioned in my tag, I love doing nail art but it's too time consuming to do knowing it will be gone within 8 hours of work.  Nail Tek has saved me many manicures hah!  I used Essie Come Here on all of my nails except my ring fingers which were Orly Luxe.  I am obsessed with Come Here, it is the prettiest bright pinky coraly red color.  I happen to love pairing gold with red and Luxe is a beautiful metallic gold that applies like a dream so I thought this combo would work out well.  As my top coat I used Out the Door top coat.  I got this in my haul and I loooooooove it!!!!!!  As I have mentioned before, my Seche Vite would shrink my polish and made it very prone to peeling off.  This polish, since it is a quick dry, has the tendency to do that too but not nearly as quickly as the Seche Vite. 

 My lighting does nothing for this manicure and I totally forgot to take a picture of it in natural light, but regardless, I still love the end results.  Bright, fun, and perfect for spring and summer.

Soooo much love!!!
