So I'm not even sure what I'm going to call this, but it was kinda inspired by this mani.


I started with a base of Orly Mirrorball. It had been sitting in my untrieds for months after I bought it--a shame I know.


Then I laid down some reinforcement labels to create the shapes of my mani.

Yup, you read the title of today's post right. Today's manicure is inspired by Bob's Burgers and Netflix!


I remember when this show first came out and I saw the commercial my immediate thought was, "This is the dumbest shit ever." Well imagine my surprise when I started watching it on Netflix in January 2014 and it became my one of my favorite shows.


Tina is my favorite member of the Belcher clan, but let's be for real here, Louise is a mastermind. Hands down.

Originally, I wanted to painted "BOB'S BURGERS" inside the yellow box on my middle finger, but alas my tiny print nail art skills aren't that evolved yet.
Quick side note here. My new Twitter handles is @DropOutNails which is the same as my new IG @DropOutNails.

However, I did manage to get "NETFLIX" on my thumb.


And for funsies, let's get a solo look of the mustard & cheeseburger nails.


Here are the shades used to create this look.



The season finale was last week so I need to find another show to watch on Sunday nights until next fall. *le sigh*

Two weeks ago Zoya's new summer collections became available for purchase. So what do I have today? An easy manicure feature the all cremés of the Island Fun collection.


I started with a white base color and simply sponged the colors from the Island Fun collection on my nails until the above opacity was reached.
Then of course I mattified it. Why? Because, why not?

As you all know, I am an absolute sucker for neon nail polish so my hunt for Color Club's Poptastic Pastel Neon collection was on from the first day I saw them online.


Ever since, I've been heavily stalking my favorite local polish retailer until I could finally call those babies my own.  Weeks passed and I finally asked an employee when they would have them in stock. In short, her answer was, "don't know, we might, we might not." With my little polish tale tucked between my legs I went home and had to find them elsewhere.
A week or so later I find the entire collection online for $29 plus free shipping! And here we are with today's post.


I did a water marble--as non-uniform as it may be--on my index, middle, and pinky fingers. As for my thumb and ring finger, I sponged the colors on.

Layering a lesser opaque color over a silver base is nothing new. So before I decide if I wanna drop my coin on something "new," I'm gonna do some testing of my own.

Let's get started with Sally Hansen Triple Shine Grape Jelly, shall we?
Sally Hansen Triple Shine Grape Jelly was part of last summer's Palm Beach Jellies. Y'all remember that color-packed, translucent (oxymoron much?) lacquers were a big hit last year right? Well I picked up this limited edition shade--along with the rest of the aforementioned collection--on a end cap filled with a bunch of other miscellaneous polishes at Walmart.

Anyway, this was the sheerest of all the polishes in today's post. How sheer is it you ask? Above is three coats.

Wet 'n Wild Fast Dry Everybody Loves Redmond
Wet 'n Wild Fast Dry Everybody Loves Redmond is an red-orange jelly that looks great on it's own (shown HERE) but when two coats are layered over a silver base it becomes metallic. Fun right?

China Glaze Shell-O
China Glaze Shell-O may have been the biggest flop in the group.  Even after three coats it was still patchy in some places.

Icing Grande Margarita
Icing Grande Margarita is one coat over silver. My camera just couldn't capture how amazing this looked. I'm just gonna throw this put there, someone needs to make metallic neons.

Icing Lime Martini
Icing Lime Martini is yet another one coater over silver! Why are neon metallics not a thing already? 

• Due to variances in translucency, every jelly won't yeild the same results.
• Neon metallics need to be a thing.
• Though I don't have dead on dupes for the OPI Color Paints, I'm not completely sold on buying them. (Read: I'll likely by them when I catch them on clearence.)

What did you takeaway from this post? Will you be purchasing any/all the OPI Color Paints? Let's chat in the comments.
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Today's mani was inspired by Dani Michelle's "Self-Destruction"


Per usual, I saw a piece of art, I fell in love with it, and I knew I just had to attempt a nail art recreation.



In no particular order the lacquers I used for this mani are
