Neon gradient

I really need to start doing my posts a little earlier or maybe I need to be a little more organised. I wanted to do this last night, but BF was playing online and I didn't want to interfere with his internet connection. Anyway, this is the last of my neon mani's.
I started with a white base and for that I used City Fashion white. I then attempted to do a circular gradient using I love Hean neon 893 in the middle, 895 and then 892 at the outside edge. It didn't quite work the way I wanted, maybe my colours were too similar, but you can see it a little on my middle finger.
I think I need to try these again a some time. Maybe with a different selection of colours. What do you think? So if you wanted any of these neons, I'm sure you can pre-order them from Glamore Cosmetics, as they ran out of stock very quickly when they got these the last time.
When it was all dry I wanted to add a little something to it, since I felt it missed something. So I decided on these cute little swirls from Becauseishop and some holo. Holo makes everything better right?? I used Nubar Brilliant, it is a pink holo but so so sheer. It might as well be a holo topcoat.
I just painted one coat over the swirly vinyl on my index and ring finger and one coat on my middle finger. Barely there, but it looks amazing in the sun. So what do you think of my end result? It would have been better of with some stamping, right Joyce? ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Me? Suggesting stamping on something? Would I do that? :D
    I love the neon colors... I really have to get some neon polishes myself, as that is one part of my stash that is quite neglected. Haven't tried a circular gradient yet... but succeeded or not, your nails looks pretty! (and everything is improved with holo ;)

    1. Haha thanks. Neons are fun, occasionally. And people sure notice them.

  2. So pretty! I'm trying to think of a neon nail art idea as we speak as I'm reviewing the new OPI neon collection xo

    1. Oh lucky you! But on the other hand, it was hard enough to come up with some nail art for these... So I don't envy you too much.

  3. It's awesome how a white base makes them pop even MORE.

    1. Guess that's why everyone is hunting for the PERFECT white...
