Neon Graffiti Nails

Capturing neon's have got to be one of the hardest things in the world, okay its not brain surgery, but its up there. This is no where near how bright it is in real life. I mean I could halt a plane with these nails :P

Here is my take on a graffiti style stamping. 

Its nowhere near as crisp or lovely as I would want and the clean up was a pain in the proverbial's BUT its so bright I just love it!

I first used a white base, if you do not use a white base the neon's will be streaky.

Products Used 

Orly Glowstick 

China Glaze Kiwi Cool-Ada

BarryM White 

Konad Black. 

Cheeky Musical Nails Jumbo Plate

Seche Vite Top coat 

To do the gradient I first did a base of BarryM white, then applied two coats of GlowStick. 

I used a makeup sponge to then blend in the green. 

So what do you think of neon nail polish? Love it or hate it?

Nautical Style Nail Art

 Nautical nails are one of my favorite designs to do. I have no idea why, but I especially love an anchor lol!

I hand painted the anchor, but now I look back at it, it looks a tad naff lol

I did this design for the Nail Polish Lovers group on Google+ 

Products used 

Cheeky plates CH36 and CH 49 and Konad stamping polish in black and white. 

Essie Butler Please and BarryM Blueberry Ice Cream 

Whats your fave theme of nail art to do? 

Space Stamping

 So while I have the Purr-fect Plum on I thought I would try out some of my newer Cheeky plates. 

I haven't actually used stamping a lot recently as Ive been doing other things but i do love a good stamping :D

Here i have used a Space theme using Cheeky plate CH 46 from the summer 2012 collection. I purchased these on +Amazon.co.uk 

I used Barry M Foil Effects in Silver for the stamping.

City Siren With Star Stamping

 

China Glaze's City Siren x 2 and NYC French Tip White

 

 

Beautiful starry design using a Cheeky stamping plate, purchased from Amazon.co.uk

Cheeky plate, like bundle monster, are a cheaper version of Konad. The quality of the plates are pretty much the same and they have some beautiful designs.

I choose cheeky and bundle monster over konad any day.

 

 

I think the feature nails look great in this design, but i think i would have prefured white stars on all the nails, not just the thumb.

I love China Glaze, Of course :p, and this colour is a lovely shade.

Mocha With Stamping, Yummy!

 Kleancolor Mocha With Cheeky Stamped Hearts

I know im using a lot of kleancolor polishes but i just bought a load and really want to try them all out :P

This is mocha 2 coats and i stamped a heart design using a Cheeky Plate and NYC White Polish (which i left open to go thicker for a few hours) topped off with lumos

I love nail stamping and believe me youll be seeing alot more stamping on this blog lol.

Cheeky Plates can be bought on Amazon for a fraction of the price of konad and they work so well. They have so many designs too.
