Combo of Challenges - Summer (Neon) Floral




I accept the Challenge(s)!

We're still in NEON month for the Nail Challenge Collaborative, and this week's ECOPOLO challenge is for Summer Floral. So I did... wait for it... a summer neon floral!  whew!

I started out with Cult Nails Tempest, and then did a wash of Pink Cookie Neon Blue.  I would move the brush around, hoping to give it a textured look, like a blue sky.  This is where y'all nod your heads and say, 'yes, of course, I totally see that!'

I used a small brush and a dotting tool to add the flowers using more colors from the Pink Cookie neon line - purple, yellow, pink, and orange.

In retrospect, I should have put white under the flowers again, because the neons don't pop on the blue background.  I did put some white under the yellow dots, which makes them look gold for some reason.

I wish it were a little easier to do nail art with neons.  They're so finicky about how and when to show their brightness.  Are you loving the neons this summer so far?
