2015 31DC2015 - Day 9; rainbow - WTF? - 07, swatch and nail art

Overly excited but this might be one of my favorites from the polishes Lakobotan gave me. It is neon square glitters in blue, green, yellow, orange and pink in a clear base. 07 is very glitter dense and 1 coat could have been enough but I went on with 2 coats which is what you see below. I used a white base and sadly I see that the clear base is slightly yellow toned or the neon pigments has discolored it. This wouldn't have been noticeable unless I'd used another color as a base or if I would have skipped the accent. However I decided to make accent nails with square metal studs in the same neon colors. Overall I'm super happy with this. It really looks like sprinkle on a cake!

And yes, this is also my rainbow nails for the 31dc2015, and sure my "rainbow" isn't complete in colors, I guess that it's 9 colors in an actual rainbow. Here we're missing out on purple and red, but on the other hand rainbows aren't flourecently neon either. ;)

Hawaiian pineapple palm tree nail art in orange and black

Hi, today's nail art is done for a couple of nail art challenges on instagram. There's always a few nail art challenges going on and a fun way of making them is to combine the different themes. I choose to combine Hawaiian + Palm trees + pineapple + orange, all in one manicure since I figured that they suited each other.

So basically I did a gradient with yellow, light orange and darker orange, then neon yellow glitter on top. Then I freehanded the pineapples and palm trees on top. I also decided to frame the design with white, and then matte top coat on top. Not sure about the white frame though, what do you think?

Simple neon nail art

Hi lovely readers and followers! :) I'm finally back. It has been nice taking some time off from the whole blog thing and I've been really busy working almost all the time. I still am, but now everything is in phase. And I've missed blogging and reading blogs. Will try to answer comments today and tomorrow. :)

Today it is Nail Art Sunday, an occasion I hate missing so I thought it would be a nice idea to start blogging with that! ;) Lela has decided that "Neon" is the theme of this Sunday and I had tons of ideas. I went with a simple idea, a simple layering with a neon glitter polish and neon metal studs. The neon polish is Lush Lacquer - Neon Lights, which I've swatched before, and as most of the LL's the application is hard so I layered it over a white creme, ended up with two coats but it looked more neon with just one. I liked the result of this, it looks like a children's birthday party or clown outfit, but I don't mind, neon is always cool! ;)

Humblebee gradient

Now it's time for the last post in the 31dnc, better late than never, right? ;) I've worked more than usual and lots of things are going on, like it should be I guess. The blog and actually the whole internet has been the things which has been sacrificed in all this. Anyhow, no. 31 is "favorite polish / polish with a story". I decided to take one of my favorite polishes and tell how coincidental it was that I got it. My polish of choice is Ninja Polish - Humblebee. And how I got it? I was shopping at Ninja Polish, with the main goal to get Floam (which I also did) among some other polishes too. At the end I decided I needed one more polish to fill up the shipping and just stumbled upon Humblebee and put it in the shopping bag. And then it turned out to be a favorite, way more than Floam.

I've tried Humblebee as a funky french which I adored and must do again because I liked it and I would also like to take newer and better pictures of it. Inspired by the Halloween Floam; Spooky Floam which I did an inverted gradient of, I knew I wanted to do the same with Humblebee. I decided to make a white base which looked great even though the neon yellow didn't pop as much as I wanted. I can imagine that a purple or gray base will look cooler.

Summary of all 31 days will come soon :)

31DC2013 Day 10; Gradient with neon glitter

It's day 10 and today's prompt is gradient and if you know me, you know I just love gradients. They're truly awesome, this time I wanted to do a glitter gradient which is perhaps a bit stupid since an upcoming propsy is glitter, however what the mind want.. Perhaps it's not the best glitter gradient ever seen but I liked the neon contrast towards the dark colored blue. I also liked that it was ridiculously super glossy on the nails, of cause with SV on top. It feels like a perfect autumn manicure, very dark but still with some neon sprinkle on top, elegant but still some craziness on it.

Polishes used: Neon Sapphire (ehm, not that neon at all, but a nice blue shade)
Oopsie Daisies - Electric Lemonade

Lush Lacquer - Neon Lights, swatch

Today I'm showing the ultimate summer polish, it's neon in lots of colors in one polish!

Basically by looking at it it's a gorgeous polish with four sizes of hexagons in four matte neon colors. The colors are neon pink, neon yellow, neon green and neon orange.

 The base color is white and I would call it a crelly and I used 3 coats. I guess two coats could do the trick too, and I'd also recommend this for layering on white. The drying time was fast, before I had got the to last nail it has completely dried on the other hand which is amazing.

Now to the problems; the formula is a bit grainy with the glitter, making application hard. I'd almost go so far that I'd say that the polish contains a little bit too much glitter, there's definitely no need for fishing, almost the opposite to get less glitter on the brush. Top coat is a must for this, there's reflective curling on the glitter and since there's so much glitter they almost stick up from the surface. I think I used two coats of SV for this and I think I refilled with another coat of SV the other day.

When I wrote this post I remember being more positive than I am now, despite that I will definitely use it again, the hazzle is worth it because I love the color combination.

I've tried my other Lush Lacquer I bought so you'll see them here soon. :)

What do you think about Lush Lacquer? and Neon Lights?
