Sunshine on my nails

While on vacation in the Caribbean I bought. . . nail polish.  Yep!  You know you are a nail polish addict when you can't go anywhere without buying it.  In my defense, this is pretty cool nail polish.  Have you ever heard of Del Sol?  They are a company that deals in products that change color in the sun.  Anything from shirts, to jewlery, to sunglasses, and even nail polish.


Well I bought five of the polishes on my cruise.  One of them is Del Sol Candy Cane.  It starts off white and turn dark pink in the sun.  An added interesting part of these polishes is that depending on the amount of sun you get different intensities of the what the final sun color is supposed to be.  The problem in photographing this particular manicure is the current winter sun.  Curse your lack of brightness winter sun!  So the first thing I thought to do with this polish was the traditional French tip.




So that is obviously indoors.  Here comes outdoors. . .


Isn't that fun?  It is not as pink as it was in the store, but like I said, winter sun. . .  I will be playing more with this and the other colors I bought.  Keep an eye out for it.

Tootles!

    2. Thanks so much for your comment. There's definitely loads of ways to add color to a day makeup look. You don't have to go crazy with color. Dot your favorite bright color on the inside part of the eye, or as an eyeliner along the bottom water line or create a classic flick across the lid with your favorite color, the options are endless.I hope that helps and it's given you some inspiration :)
