Nail Art

So I'm sitting here putting the final touches on my nails.

I really hate going to salons and getting my nails done.  It's too much money and besides, the acrylic ruins your nails.  So I do them at home myself.  About once a week I take off the old polish, file and buff them up all pretty, oil up my cuticles and repaint my nails a new color.  I will never wear the same color two weeks in a row, but that's about my only rule on colors.

I happen to be painting my nails a vibrant shade of purple this time around, and I'm doing it a few days earlier than usual too because I got some new nail polish, and new nail polish colors always go on first.

No, the color isn't new, but the top part is.  It's a glow-in-the-dark glitter.  And boy does it glow!  Sucker lights some shit up that's for sure.  But just putting it on by itself you need a good 3 or 4 coats for the effect and it bubbles up and peels right off, even with a base and top coat (that could also just be my nails.)  So I'm putting it over the color to see how well it works.

Is there anything cooler than nail polish that glows in the dark?
