Flip Flop Fantasy

When asked what our favourite polish is, we have a few that have always been in our top 5. Flip Flop Fantasy is one of them and has been for a while. So, I thought it was about time I share it's awesomeness with you.

Flip Flop Fantasy (let's nickname it FFF) is made by China Glaze and, in Canada, can easily be found at Sally Beauty Supply. Basically, it is one of the best neon polishes we have ever seen. It is a perfect harmony between neon pink and neon orange, creating the most perfect neon coral! It is simply stunning on your fingertips - seriously, people have stopped me on the street and asked me what polish I was wearing. FFF is not for the faint of heart, it absolutely jumps out at you and is not a polish that blends in. It actually glows...I'm not kidding.

I really wanted to show you how it actually appears on the nails, but, unfortunately, neons are notoriously difficult to photograph. I did my best!

Direct sunlight ...looks crazy here!

No flash or sunlight (indoors)

Wow! See what I mean? I would say that the photo captioned Shadow (outdoors) is the closest to how it actually shows up on the nails. So, if you are considering investing in a neon, or you already have some but want to amp it up, go pick up FFF! In fact, it is one of the few polish bottles I have that I have almost emptied completely.

It also looks awesome as a pedicure, above are my toes (and my sister and Mother) and will absolutely enhance any tan you've got going on. Stock up for summer, ladies!

Super Bright Tiger Nail

Ok, first of all, these polishes are impossible to photograph. I tried in different light conditions, with and without flash, and on different cameras. Neons are tough! 

I used two coats of white by Pure Ice (from Walmart) for the base. This polish is actually quite decent and provides great opaque coverage considering it only cost $1.97!

For the brights, I used Colo(u)r Club's neon pink and China Glaze's Flip Flop Fantasy.

This is one of our all-time favourite polishes. It is such a perfect neon coral colour. A very bright and orangey pink - it was pretty much a repeat pedicure colour all summer. When I use this one for a mani, I get stopped by people asking me what polish I'm wearing. It's such a crazy colour! We love it. (So, in the images above, try to imaging that the orangey colour near the cuticles is brighter and has more of a pinkish tint to it.)

So, after creating a colour gradient on the nail with the coral near the cuticle and the bright pink on the tip, I added the black details with that good old skinny polish that I mentioned here and here.

I realize that these are summery colours but, hey, November is dark, gloomy, and the sun only graces us with its presence for like...20 minutes a day so I could use a little day-brightening. This bright mani has been brightening my day already :) Pin It
