This was really, for me, out of the box. But I had a lot of fun with it & got a ton of great compliments too. I was inspired by an Acid Leopard eye makeup tutorial I saw on YouTube, and so I translated it into a manicure. I created the rainbow by sponging with Icing Hot Date, Suntan Lotion & Blue Carribean - all 3 from the Cancun Spring Break collection. The leopard design I did with a Black Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen:
& I've now got a blacklight, just for some fun pics!
I think I had this on for a full week, and towards the end I added some China Glaze Matte Magic top coat:
Here's the tutorial:
And here's the eye makeup tutorial by Klaire de Lys that inspired me:
What do you guys think of this neon-bright nail art look? Sometimes it's good to step a bit outside of your comfort zone =)
Thanks for reading.

This is my favorite mani you've done so far! I love it and wish I could emulate it, but I don't think I have the right colors. Awesome job!

ReplyDeleteHi Colette!

I'd like to ask if I can put some of your images up on "pinterest." Of course, I will provide proper source credit. :)
Have a great day!
Mind = blown.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is so bright and so pretty. I love it, especially the blacklight shot. lol
ReplyDeleteSo Lisa Frank! Love it!
ReplyDeleteCHRISSY - I didn't have any bleeding, I did wait a little longer than normal before adding topcoat to make sure it was dry =)
ReplyDeleteERIN - I credit my base & top coat - I rarely wear polish longer than a few days but when I do it wears well =)
ANON - I'm not on there myself but feel free, I don't mind at all as long as I'm credited =)

ReplyDeleteThis person on Facebook has stolen one of your photos and is claiming it as her own art, https://www.facebook.com/pages/Exclusive-Nail-Art-By-FarIa/115682311918288 You're not the only person she's doing this to either.
