First off, I think I found the culprit to the ever changing nail shape. Last night I moisturized my nail plate really well, and left out the strengthening base coat. Today, my nails are almost back to normal shape again! Weird! They will alway grow in that weird sideways position, but at least the edges wont be curling inward anymore!
So, the mani: This is my "slap and dash" version of flowers. I admit it, I'm not a flower kinda girl. Don't get me wrong, I have seen some really awesome flower mani's since I've been reading nail blogs. I guess I just can't get excited about doing one myself. Since I'm not a flowery kind of girl, I guess I ever really thought about learning how to do anything other than this! It *was* fun to play with my new dotting tools, and I love playing with neon polish, but this is the extent of my flower skills. Mad skillz, they are not!
For this mani, I used Sally Hansen Celeb City as my base color, and dotted on the flowers and dots using Heaven Nail Lacquer in Passion Pink, Dream, and True Blue. Topped it all off with Seche Vite and voila! Neon flower nails!
Here they are in really crappy lighting! Not a hint of sunshine all day, so I had to use my lovely fluorescent lighting. Ugh!
And with Flash (I just love how the neon pops!)
And my usual "bad macro" (maybe Santa will bring me a better camera for XMas):
Isn't neon over silver foil just fun? I think it was Cristina over at Let Them Have Polish (I KNOW you've all seen her blog! Isn't it amazing??) that had done neon dots over silver....I don't have time to check so I'll get back to you guy on that one so I make sure I credit the right person....anyway, I loved the combo. I used different neon here, but the overall idea is the same.
And now it's off to work on my "delicate print" mani. I *think* I know what that means! ;)
Happy Polishing!
