I'm With The Lifeguard by China Glaze

I did NOT want to skip out on my swatch for Sunday's Swatch but I still haven't taken off my neon tribal nails that I did yesterday. ;) I didn't have enough time to ask in a guest blogger (shame on me) but I decided to just use the next best thing -- pictures of a swatch that I never had time to post. Perfect! Haha, so say hello to I'm With The Lifeguard (IMTL) by China Glaze. This is an AMAZING green neon polish that you all need in your lives. ;) I have NO undies underneath (like no white), this is just 4 plain coats of IMTL with Seche Vite on top. Many neon polishes tend to dry matte and need several THIN coats. :)

P.S. I also did my right hand. ;) (I am right handed so yes, I did it with my non-dominant hand! :D)

Basically kudos to all of you that have kids and love and raise them! <3
