#summernorules - FAV NEON

Put your sunglasses on because today's theme is NEON.

Initially I was just going to use Finger Paints Silkscreen Green...one of my favorite neons.  It is from the 2012 Summer Neon collection.  It is an eye catching, bright neon green.  I should have used a white base, but instead I used 3 coats for opacity.

I decided to jazz it up a bit and add some flowers and such.  I used:

• Essie's Blanc
• OPI's I Just Can't Copa-cabana
• KB Shimmer's Lei It Again & Sarong Place, Sarong Time

May #30DaysofColourChallenge - FAVOURITE BRAND/TECHNIQUE

This is a month long swatch challenge for May, a total of eleven manicures!

My favourite technique for nail art is a dotticure.  There are such beautiful designs you can make with just some simple dots. I saw a picture of a blue morpho butterfly and loved the colours.  This mani was inspired by this beautiful butterfly!  I used Essie's Blanc, Essie's Strut Your Stuff, Orly's Prince Charming and OPI's Who Are You Calling Bossy.
