Nail Inspiration: Katy Perry's "California Gurls"

This was originally going to be a FOTD, but I felt silly wearing sparkly eye shadow to lounge around the house. Instead, I painted my nails a pale lilac shade & adorned my ring finger with chunky purple glitter. I think Katy would approve.

What I Used:

OPI Rumple's Wiggin' (Shrek collection)

Barry M Glitter Nail Paint in Lavender Hexograms

I came across the picture below on Tumblr a while back & I haven't been able to get this blue hued nail polish out of my head ever since!

Blue Is The New Black!

I thought I had found it in Milani's Neon "Dude Blue", but it was lacking the electric violet undertones I was searching for. 

Looks similar, right? It's actually more of a blue highlighter color.

Then I stumbled upon J's blog, Talk Pretty To Me, a couple of weeks ago & spotted my coveted color on her nails! She happily informed me that it was Sephora's "Myrtille" (#23) from their SEPHORA COLLECTION line. It's $5 for a .16 fl oz bottle and you'll never find another shade quite like it. It's just gorgeous!

Call me crazy, but I can definitely see the color difference in person. Trust me on this, if you're looking for a wearable blue for summer, go buy this one!

I happened to catch a bit of the Real World D.C. reunion show last week and fell in love with cast mate Callie's neon green nails!

After a few days of searching, I found a perfect dupe at CVS:

Milani NEON Totally 80s

I added some white stars using my Essence nail stamping kit.

Would you rock neon nails??
