The Weekly Nail Report
Nail-job craving: Been dying to try out the Essie neon Poppy Razzi collection, which is out in May, but had a few other manis (including my Chicago mani) before I could test out a shade. But that graffiti-ish Chicago mani was finally starting to show some wear and I have Harry’s Spring Run Off 8K tomorrow, so it’s perfect timing as I tend to gravitate to brights for my races.
How I satisfied that craving: Essie Weingarten suggests doing a coat of white nail polish before applying a neon nail poish so it worked out well that I have the opaque pale shade of Artistic Color Gloss in Sassy on my nails. Overtop of that I applied Essie in Camera and then top coat as the neons dry matte and I wanted shine.
How this nail colour make me feel: Like I’m back in university — the shade is much like the pink highlighters I used to use in school. Hopefully it’ll inspire me to have the same energy and stamina I had pulling all-nighters studying back then for my race tomorrow and for the 32k I have to run on Sunday for marathon training.
Love it or hate it: Love. I’ll be wearing this shade overtime this summer.
