Neon snake nail art

Hi all.

Today a very short post. I'm busy swatching a gorgeous Halloween collection.

This nail art was done a while ago but I never got to post it.

Now it's time, because it's the last picture for a while with nails this long :(

I've used a great amount of neon polishes...and I don't remember which exact.

Needless to say the design is free hand.

Hope you like it!

And see you again with my shorties :D

I'm on vacation!

Last year I still managed to make a nail art each day for my challenge.

This year I'm not even taking my laptop with me.

The purpose of vacation is to really rest and have fun with my loved ones.

That's why this is my vacation notice :D

Feel free to read my content so far and please keep commenting as I will come back and catch up with everything at the beginning of August.

I hope you'll forgive me and stick around.

Love Margriet.

P.S. Perhaps I will post some haul pictures or holiday fun on IG and/or Facebook

On my nails: randomly sponged neon lacquers. 

Topped with a LED topcoat as I hope this mani will last the whole vacation ;D

The hand art is made with blacklight (UV-light) paint.

I also made a bracelet.

My first attempt at working with acrylic powder and liquid.

Except from the bands it's all nail related products that I've used:

- acrylic powder (white)

- acrylic liquid

- polish

- acrylic paint

- nail art rings (metal)

I'm going to dance my ass off in those blacklights :D

See you and thanks for reading, commenting and sharing the love ♥

Abstract neon nails

Not the most unique nail art today but I really needed a neon nail art :D

I decided to spice it up a bit by using different techniques.

Step-by-step:

1) After the basecoat apply a white polish on all the nails.

Let it dry completely; adding a topcoat can speed up the drying time.

2) Randomly place striping tape on the nails and try to create a modern abstract design.

3) Cut a (make-up) sponge into small pieces.

4) Get your neon polishes and start to randomly sponge the colors on the nails. 

Use a small piece of sponge per color.

5) Remove striping tape.

6) Add topcoat

Polishes used:
* Models Own - Luis Lemon
* Models Own - Bubblegum
* Models Own - Toxic Apple
* Orly Baked - Ablaze
* Orly Baked - Hot Tropics
* Bourjois - Blue no blues

Neon water spotted nails

The hot weather has been gone for a while now and I'm really looking forward to some more heat and sun again.

I can't change the weather but I can bring some brightness with my nails :D

I wanted neons and decided to go with the water spotted technique.

For those who are new to it...here is a great tutorial by +cutepolish 

Polishes used:

- Essence Hup Holland Hup 02 Hattrick! (white)

- Models Own Luis Lemon (yellow)

- Models Own Toxic Apple (green)

- Models Own Bubblegum (pink)

- Orly Baked Hot Tropics (purple)

- Bourjois Blue no blues (blue)

I used perfume for spraying and have bright scented nails now :D

Neon feather nail art

Now that I have a blacklight I just had to play around with stuff I already own.

 

I started by painting a not so intriguing feather nail art design using the following polishes:

- China Glaze Liquid Leather (background)

- Models Own Luis Lemon

- Models Own Toxic Apple

- Models Own Bubblegum

- Orly Baked Tropical Pop

- Orly Baked Ablaze

There really is no point in making it too detailed as the lamp doesnt give a complete clear image.

For the ring finger and pinky I used my neon glitters.

 

Are you ready for the blacklight picture?

 

 

 

 The blacklight makes it even more fun to use neon products.

I'm already loving the brights but when it starts to glow...

"I feel like a kid in a fairy world" :D

 

Day 252) Nail art inspired by shoes

By little girl has the cutest shoes!

Disco shoes with neons, glitter, rhinestones and lights (yes, real flickering lights).

She loves them and so do I ;-D

 

Today's nail art is inspired by these shoes.

 

What did I do:

- Index: White base with neons gradient (simular to the toe part of the shoe)

- Middle: Purple glitter on black base (shoe-lace part)

- Ring: Black base with neon dotted circles (heart circles shoe) and joined hearts (sides of the shoe)

- Pinky: White base with mint and pink stripes (sole) and rhinestones (toe part)

 

 

 



Day 191) Nail art cat eye marble

It's just no fun working with nail polish with this kind of temperatures.
Before my brush even touches my nail, the polish on the brush has dried out.
Therefore my nail arts require the more watery polishes; for example the neons.
Today another neon nail art, this time inspired by a cat eye marble of the children.

 

Day 189) Nail art paisley

Today's nail art is inspired by my bikini:

Day 184) Nail art chevron

Time for some chevron nails.
I found some cute neon polishes which are perfect for this nail art.
