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?

More Leopard Print!

 Feeling really down in the dumps today and just wasn't in the mood really to do anything at all but I received a new nail art pen set today and I wanted to give it a go. 

The base is OPI If You Moust You Moust and the dots are BarryM Gelly in Guava

I wanted a more rugged type of print but in the picture it just looks messy.

Basically my new pen is an actual dip fountain pen. It came with 5 interchangeable heads and 2 handles. 

It was hard to get used to in the beginning but it seems to produce a nice thin line. 

The pen uses acrylic paint that only works when it has been watered down to the consistency of double cream. 

The only problem I had was that sometimes paint would flood my nail and ruin the whole design! 

(this happened to a design I did after this one, which infuriated me even more ARRRGG) 

I think I need a lot more practise with this and I am not sure its worth all the extra effort.
