I'm Back!!! I'm so excited - I missed blogging so much. A big THANK YOU goes to everyone who sent me guest posts. They were beautiful and I sincerely appreciate it.
This is Essie "DJ Play That Song" from their 2013 Neon Collection. I have been loving neon polish lately and when I saw this plum purple, I knew it had to be mine.
This is pretty unique to my collection. I do have Sinful Colors "Dream On", but I think that has a bit more pink in it. This is a straight up plum purple and I LOVE it.
I layered 2 coats of DJ Play That Song over Julep Kate (white). I have heard that neon polish works best over a white base and I would have to agree. The photo below was taken before I added a top coat. It has more of a matte/satin finish and I am really liking that look.

I have been waiting for the perfect nail polish to go with this Jamberry Shield accent. As you can see, the shield is pulling away a little bit at the ends. Apparently, Jamberry has changed their material from the material used on this shield. It sounds like they are thinner now, so I am excited to see the difference. I will keep you updated.
I hope you like my comeback post:) I'm excited to get back into the swing of things and start trying some new polish!
Have a nice Thursday.

Such a lovely purple! Beautiful nail pics as always! x
