#TBT: Neopets

I'm starting a new series today which I'm going to be calling my  "Throwback Thursday" series, (by I'll most likely be referring to it as my throwback series). A few days ago I was talking to a friend that I met online years ago and decided that I wanted to do a design in honour of the site that brought us together and thus this series was born! This series will take a look back at some of my favourite things from my childhood as well as some of the things that were really popular at the time, (late 90s to early 00s).

First up is the website that started my internet addiction: Neopets!

Hot Mess





More cute little summery designs! Woo!
I actually planned on doing this design right after my watermelon nails but it just kept getting pushed back. I finally refused to let it get pushed back any longer and here it is!
It's based off of some pajamas I have from David & Goliath, (it's one of the sets in the picture here).

I think it's a cute twist on all of the different ice cream cones and drip nails out there!

Don't Flirt

If you're anything like me then you may have stumbled upon U Kiss' new mv randomly and were not prepared for what you were about to watch.
That would be how I  found out about their new single and got inspired for another kpop comeback manicure!

I'm Addicted





I was at Target the other day and they happened to have Essie's new neon collection so obviously I had to get some of them to try.
I'm pretty impressed at how quickly I used them, usually my new purchases end up sitting around for a month before I get inspired for a design. This time around I decided to do a bit of a reprise of my neon tribal design from last summer, though the colour scheme is completely different. I think I've stepped up my tribal designs in the last year, (though I still need to work on my lines...)

But yes, Essie's neons are great as expected, a little thin but I find a lot of their polishes are so that wasn't really a surprise. The colours are awesome and eye-catching, I can't stop looking at my hands! This also gave me an excuse to use Essie's Belugaria again which is always fun!
