#52weeknailchallenge: neon

I was having a hard time deciding what to do for this prompt... But then I remembered I haven't done scribbled nails in a while. So I decided to do scribbled nails and do it in rainbow order (which I had to google).
I started by blobbing my neons on my mat and then using a dotting tool to scribble them.

Once they where dry I painted a coat of essence absolute pure over my scribbles, waited for that to dry and placed them on my nails.

I'm not sure which white I used, for some reason I didn't make a note of that.

The neons I used was Tip Top as the beat grows on, cyan can can, grape dance, Hean I love Hean 892, 895 and 890.

I then stamped the YEAH! image from BP 76 on my middle finger using Nicole Diary's black stamping polish.

What do you think? I kinda liked this.

Hean nail polish: City Fashion 10t (Black)

I decided to give scribbled nails another go... And I much prefer my previous try. I had a very sheer metallic looking pink that I thought would look rather cool over black. But alas, not as cool as I thought.

This is two coats of City Fashion 10t (the opposite of 0t)(and really, call it black already).

There isn't much to say about blacks are there? It's black, what more do you need?

I used City Fashion 24 for the scribbled detail. I waited for the decals to dry, stuck them on while my base was slightly tacky and top coated. Sometimes if my base is too dry, I then just add a couple of dry brush strokes with a clear polish. Just so there's something for the decal to stick to.

I decided to mattify it and I can't decide which one I like better. It kinda looks like granite... What do you think? Shine or matte?

Thanks for reading!!

Twinsie post with Michelle: Scribbled nails

EEEEEEEK! My post is a bit late today, but I'm not quite awake yet. Anyway, I contacted Michelle for another twinsie post. Felt like doing something different. I shared this mani from The Adorned Claw with her and we decided on this as a theme and blue as our colour scheme.

I started with two coats of Hean City Fashion 174 as my base. You can find my swatch here. While that was drying I did the "scribbled" part of this mani on my miracle mat. I used Hean City Fashion 164 for this.

While those were drying I did a gradient on my now dry base coat with Hean City Fashion 174, 199 and 168 at my tip. The gradient was so pretty I had to take a pic. I didn't topcoat the gradient, so it is a bit grainy.

Then I cut my scribbles in half and used a half per nail.

So far, I love this technique, if you could call it that. Michelle said it could turn into a huge fail, but I think this would cover up a fail. This goes into the same category as waterspotting and the saran wrap. I'm already wanting to try this again.

So what do you think? I really loved this mani.

Don't forget to go and give Michelle some love. You can find her mani here.
