LeCHAT DARE TO WEAR NEONS

Hey all! Today I have one of my favorite kinds of nail polish to show you - NEONS!! The brand I am showing you is called LeChat . They sent me some of their neon colors from their Dare to Wear line and I am super pleased with them. The colors were all so vibrant and rich, I had a hard time picking just one favorite from the 6 colors I tried. The formula was a bit thick, but it pays off because all of these are only 2 yes TWO coats! And I do mean just two coats on the bright yellow and green one, which is essentially unheard of with neons.





Two coats of this gorgeous neon blue. I love that it is a darker shade of blue, but still very neon.








For the love of goodness my camera would NOT capture this color!! The pictures are so far off I hate to even show them because they are nothing like the actual color. The actual color is like a gorgeous deep sea green, just beautiful. My pictures came out making it look much darker and murkier and the flash pictures just washed the color out. This color was my favorite out of the box and when I put it on, it really secured it's place as my favorite of the collection.








Yes, this is only two coats!! I do not have another neon green this shade that goes on this opaque in only one coat!! Beautiful! I need a pedi with this one STAT!!








Again I say - only 2 coats!! Unbelievable LeChat, how do you do that?! I love this color, how can this scream summer any louder? And the name, well that's a polish after this girls heart!!








Another one that isn't color accurate. This is a true neon pink, it came out sort of muted and rose colored in my pictures, but my camera just couldn't do any better for some reason. I love this, I mean you can't have a neon collection with no quintessential pink, can you?








This was my second favorite of the collection. I love this, super bright and opaque. I kept this one on as my NOTD today and have already gotten 2 compliments on it. I love it!



Well I am impressed with LeChat! My mani has stayed super bright and shiny (with top coat, as these dry matte on their own). I love the bright colors, but even more than that I love that you can get super bright eye searing neons in only two coats!

OREO STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE



I know, I know!!! I haven't posted anything all week, and then when I finally do it's a huge, mouthwatering cookie!

I have been holding the fort down here at work while my boss has been on vacation this week, so I haven't had much time to make this a priority. I have been holding these pics all week if that makes anyone feel any better! :)

As soon as I saw these I KNEW I needed one in my mouth. These are awesome! Recipe can be FOUND HERE! I doubled my recipe since I was planning on taking some to my dad and sister over the weekend and I think it made the batter a little bit more thick and mine didn't "melt" down as much as the original recipe, but the taste was still out of this world! Especially good fresh out of the oven when the oreo creme center is all warm and gooey and melty :)




These cookies are HUGE!!! Which one is like eating three cookies, so you don't need many of them.

SALLY HANSEN - SEQUIN SCANDAL

Sequin Scandal is a golden olive green polish, with multi colored flakes & maybe even a small smattering of glitter too. This applied nice and was opaque in two coats. This is from the limited edition Sally Hansen Tracy Reese Fall 2010 Collection. I found this at a Walgreens in Missouri along with Problem Child (swatches of that to come). I was surprised to find them and quickly snatched them up :)
