Neon Lace... Typa Thing?

Nothing to Disclose

No idea what to call this one, lovelies.


I haven't done 'real' nail art in a while, it felt good to hammer something out in less than 2 hours! I consequently have something of a picspam for you today.


I started this look with two coats of French White, followed by 2 coats of Clowning Around and 1 coat of Freckles on the ring finger. On the rest of the fingers, I busted out the colours I used for my Watercolour Floral and started with a similar base, then opted for some kinda floral-ish lace-ish pattern overtop, done in black acrylics.


If you need a refresher on how to watercolour with nail polish, please click through to this post here.


Interestingly, I definitely prefer the look on the accent finger instead of the rest of the fingers. The crispness of the black lines against the white background is just too excellent -- I'll have to revisit this in future.


Polishes used:
Nina Ultra Pro - French White
Zoya - Charisma
China Glaze - Def Defying (this one stains, be careful!)
Lush Lacquer - Clowning Around, Freckles
Duri - Rejuvacote (base coat)
black acrylic paint
tiny detail brush

I'm hopefully going on a MAJOR hike this weekend (45km in 13 hours, because I'm a nutjob), so there may be radio silence until early next week. I'll be sure to make it up to you! And I may have a bit of a surprise in the next day or two anyway... ;)

xo,

J.
