Toesies I Knowsies - Colors by Llarowe Summer Polishes

It's the second official Toesie Tuesday!  Today, I have a pedicure I did last week using 5 of the colors from the summer 2014 Colors by Llarowe collection.  Please excuse the crappy cell phone pic - I forgot to take a better one with my nice camera before getting my birthday pedicure with my mom :P

From left to right, we have "Independence Day," "Surf My Wave," "Soccer Mom," "Chillin' In Paradise," and "Refresh...ing!"  I had the idea to do a type of gradient on my toes when I was looking at all the colors I ordered, most of which turned out to be blues and greens :)  I love how smoothly these colors went on, and how long they lasted!!  This picture was taken a little over a week after I applied the polish.  GREAT wear time on the toes.  And the ultra holos of Surf My Wave and Chillin' In Paradise were stunning, as well as the glittery goodness of the other three.  Love these colors, and actually got a few complements from people who were unabashed to complement feet :P

Keeping this post short and sweet today - I have lots of chores to catch up on after taking the weekend to relax for my birthday.  I will tell you, though, that tomorrow's post is going to be epic.  I really mean it - freakin' EPIC.  You had best keep an eye out for it, especially if you are a Harry Potter fan ;)

Toesies I Knowsies

Remember a few posts ago when I had said poor Tuesday doesn't really have a title?  Well, guys, I found one for it - TOES!!!!  Toesie toesie toes toes!!!  I rarely if ever see any kind of blog post with super cute pedicures.  It is probably most likely due to the world's general aversion to bare feet.  I've known a few people who hate feet and the idea of doing anything with feet because they are "gross."  While I agree that yes, there are some gnarly feet out there, I disagree that we should just avoid feet and toes altogether.

Well, I'm BREAKING THE BOUNDARIES!!

I'm gonna do a "Toesies I Knowsies" post every Tuesday of a cute pedicure, I will even model it on my own feet.  The fact is nobody has super beautiful feet - I mean come on, we shove them in socks and shoes and are walking around on them all day.  Hard knock life.  So I'm going to show you my feet!  No shame!  And you can either cringe if you'd like, or you can admire the cute pedicure :)  

So, without further ado, here is the first Toesie Tuesday Pedi!  I used two of I Love Nail Polish's new summer colors - "Purple Plasma" and "Rehab."  These colors are lovely!! They look great in the sunlight when wearing something open-toed, especially flip-flops.  Check them out:

Fully opaque after 2 coats, smooth application, and the polish dried pretty quickly without a quick-dry topcoat.  I love the light holographic sheen to these two colors!  They are just gorgeous!!

I used a dotting tool for the little dots on each toe.  It is a cute, subtle design that helps accentuate how complementary the colors are together, though the turquoise dots did not stand out as much over the dark purple.  

Hope you enjoyed this introductory Toesie Tuesday post!  Watch for another one next Tuesday :)
