Fuchsia Squared

Hey all!
Yesterday I posted a preview of what was coming up on the blog on my instagram.
Today I've got the first of the two pairing.

Sally Hansen - Fuchsia Flare // Pretty and Polished - Back to the Fuchsia

I used Back to the Fuchsia in this previous post but
I wanted to incorporate it in a different way this time. So I paired it with a near identical colour.
Then I taped off some fun accents and let the thermal magic take over.

Now full disclosure: getting these colour changing shots was so difficult.
My body temperature is pretty high normally so most of the time they were only neon pink.
To get this purple I had to put my hands in freezing cold water for what felt like forever. So long that my hand went numb. But then whenever I tried to get to my normal manicure set up my hands would warm up and I'd miss the shot. So that's why Fuchsia Flare came out more salmon-y in the colour change photos. Bathroom lighting -.- Oh well. I still think they're pretty fab.

Next post will be up Monday and I have to say it's probably
my favourite look I've done so far this year so I can't wait to share it with you guys.
Have a great weekend!

Fuchsia Floras

Hello friends! Quick post today.
Just wanted to share a new polish that I’ve slightly fallen in love with.




Say hello to Back to the Fuchsia by Pretty & Polished. Bright, fun, and oh so summer.  Personally I would have named this colour something like “Malibu Barbie Does Drag” or maybe “Barbie Vomit” but regardless I still love it. This polish was reaallly neon. The pictures don’t do it justice in the aspect but I’ve found that all of my neon polishes are rather hard to capture.



The decals are from Born Pretty Store and they were super cheap. These little flowers are sooo cute!
I can’t wait to try out the rest of them. Too many ideas spinning in my head!



BUT perhaps the most amazing thing about this polish is that IT CHANGES COLOUR. Yes, that’s right. The colour changes depending on the temperature. This baby went from bright neon pink to a vibrant purple. It was really hard to take a photo of the purple colour because I’m always warm, but I still managed to capture it before it disappeared.

So what do you think? Love it?
Next up I have some fun birthday mani’s!

Much love, D
