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?
Its cute! :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!
DeleteCute :D I find it hard to find a neon blue. o.O"
ReplyDeleteI'm going by what the bottle says. I know some of these aren't TRUE neons. But they're bright, and that counts... lol... I'm a cheater.
DeleteThis is so pretty!!! Even though the other colours don't pop as much they still look really nice on top of the blue. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I learn a lot from my mistakes - kinda wish I'd paid more attention to my few art classes in school! :)
