Orange Dotted Design

Here is another design for you fine folks. It's entirely different from what I set out to do, I was aiming for delicate swirling leaves and then I glanced over at my crazy orange acrylic paint and was like "eh, why not?" and ended up with this.

I used Color Club Tangerine Scream, Misa Heaven White and Wet 'n Wild Black Creme for the polish portion, the dots. I used Golden Pyrrole Orange #2276-1 Series 8 for the base.

I had originally just done my left hand and I wasn't sure if I would keep it or just put it on the back burner until Halloween rolled around, but then my boyfriend and I went grocery shopping, with me and my only one hand of polish, and our cashier said she loved my nails! So then I had to keep it. I figured I'd use it as an opportunity to experiment with the same design and different colours (Color Club What A Shock! and Electro Candy, and this is what I ended up with.

What do you think? In October I think all orange will be fine, but colour combinations are pretty fun to experiment with too.

Neon Taping

Hello Internet!
Summer semester exams are right now, and I'm not out of the muck yet but I'm taking a minute to post a design for you and to give myself a bit of a breather.
So, neons are fun but I wanted to try something that wasn't quite so flashy and I wanted to take another swing at taping. Here are the results!

I redid my pointer finger because my boyfriend said that it looked a little funny coming out from the nail bed and he preferred the ones with the colour coming in from the sides, I think I agree.

I really liked the look of this. The Electro Candy neons from Color Club and Worth the Risque are both splendid in their own ways and using them together was great and really complimentary. Also, taping worked very well! YES!
I tried out neon gel powders after I'd had this for a while to get a glow in the dark effect on the colours. I tried very hard to get a photo of it glowing for you but, alas, I didn't succeed. It did glow though and it was neat. Here are my nails with the powder, you can tell it is there and I definitely prefer the look without the powder but I'll keep playing with it and see.

And rhinestones! I put them on just a bit before I took the whole thing off but still, rhinestones!

To finish off this post here is another shot of my nails along with my snake, Abraxas.

Hope you liked!
