Happy Saturday, lovely people!! Today I have a very BRIGHT and sunshine-y yellow for you - China Glaze Happy Go Lucky. This is my first ever yellow nail polish, and I am definitely not disappointed. I got it primarily because it was the only colour I was missing to make rainbows (and everyone loves rainbows!) but I'm very happy to wear this stunning yummy goodness all on its own! It's much brighter than anything I usually wear and would take some getting used to, but it's such a perfect yellow that I think it's worth it!
I reshaped my nails today, can you tell? I've never had nails this square and honestly I wasn't crazy about the shape when my nails were bare, but once they were polished - love them! They look shorter than they are in the pic below because of the angle my hand is on. Square nails are surprisingly useful for random little things like doing up clips on necklaces. I think I'll keep them ;-).
The pic above is probably the most true to the colour IRL, though the shade was so ridiculously YELLOW and my skin is so ridiculously pale that my camera had a difficult time getting the white balance right. Think happy sunshine neon yellow with no trace of green, and you've got Happy Go Lucky.
With a yellow this bright and Summery, I had to add bumblebee stripes. They were entirely necessary for my first adventure into yellow polish. I cut strips of sticky tape to the width I wanted, made them tacky, stuck 'em on and painted over them with my go-to black, BYS Black Satin. Bzzzzz....!
Yep. I'm a yellow polish convert. I can't usually wear yellow with my skin tone so I've been hesitant, but it's just the trick of finding that right shade. This leans more toward orange-yellow than that bright green-y-yellow, and I think that's why it works for me (at least I think it does?? It's so darn bright it probably has the same level of wear-a-bility for everyone!).
Do you dare wear YELLOW nail polish? Do you have a colour you can't wear as clothing but love on your tips? Thanks so much for checking in, babes, I really appreciate it =D.
