First up, I (that's me, Anna) have to tell you about Sunny's Miracle Balm. This shiz is pretty amazing. Here is Sunny's description from her Big Cartel page- "It is enriched with vitamin E oil, biotin, and odorless garlic oil, which means it can help strengthen and grow your nails! Miracle balm is 100% organic, mixed with shea butter and my very own mixture of almond, jojoba and avocado oil. Make sure you grab one, this thing is an all in one product!!! "

If you've never used a cuticle balm before (why haven't you use a cuticle balm before?!), application is easy. Just swirl your finger across the top of the pot and rub it all over the tips of your fingers. Massage your cuticles and get that blood flowing. I may have been guilty of applying this balm to my elbows and heels too. I hope that's ok.
I'm just kidding, of course it's ok.

The first time I applied this balm I was a little nervous that it seemed really greasy. My fingers looked a little oily (see above) and I thought it would never absorb and I'd be stuck with greasy fingers for the next 2 hours. Ohh how wrong I was!

Hello magical absorption powers! So smooth and dreamy and my cuticles have never been happier. Sunny sells her Miracle Balm through her Big Cartel page for $3 each (your choice of scent) or you can get a sampler for $5
Ok now here is one of the new jelly neons from Sunny's Toxic Love collection. Did you hear me? JELLY. NEON. This is Chemical Romance, a light purple base with black hexes of different sizes, bars, diamonds, and shreds plus holo hexes. Chemical Romance had no application issues at all and the swatches below are three coats with a clear base coat. 365 Days of Color recommends a white base to show off the neon-ness but I wanted a little more subtle look.

Hey, it's Erin! I have Killer Kiss to show you. I know I talk about "Erin Colors" all the time and this is an Erin Color. It's coral but also subtle neon with sparse glitter. It screams Erin. I didn't want to layer it over white because they I would have lost all the cool white bar, circle and diamond glitters in it so I used 3 thin coats and I just love the color. It's so cute and squishy.
