So yesterday and today are supposed to be record high temperatures where I live, which means high 70's. In fact, it's 11 am where I live and it's already 72 degrees! I am so happy to have some warm, sunny weather. And with the unusually warm weather means we have lots of thunderstorms. Last night was crazy. We had a huge thunderstorm hover over the town for a good half hour. And I could see it like 50 miles away just getting closer and closer. I love watching lightning so it was a really great show to watch it getting closer and bigger.
So, since it's been so sunny and I'm ready for summer, I decided to break out a nice, bright yellow. And since I also have lots of thunderstorms I thought Sally Hansen Lightening would be perfect! (Side note - does anyone else think the name should have been "Lightning" and they just misspelled it?)
This is Sally Hansen Lightening, a bright, mustard yellow creme. Lightening is part of the Insta-Dri collection so it was easy to work with, especially with that wide brush, which I love. I needed 3 coats for complete opacity.
This is 3 coats of Lightening and 1 coat of quick dry top coat.

I decided to experiment a little bit and added 1 coat of Nubar 2010. I hoped the orange/gold would pop on the nail, but it was barely visible. It made for a neat speckled pattern though. It sort of reminds me of a rock or mineral.
