Neon yellow skittle nails

Recently my friend Sarah Lynn over at Tunay Na Mahal sported some very gorgeous neon yellow skittle nails and it inspired me to do a take on neon yellow myself!



I started with a coat of white polish on all my nails (OPI Alpine Snow). Then I used nail vinyls for the black and white chevron and I painted two coats of China Glaze Celtic Sun on the thumb, pointer and pinkie nails.



Because I didn't have Painted Polish's Drunk on Holo yet (as Sarah Lynn uses in her skittles) I used a finer holo glitter polish – China Glaze Glistening Snow.



Overall, I liked this look, but it took too many layers of nail polish for me to reach my desired opacity between the neon formula and the white base.



What are your favorite way to wear nail skittles? I really like to wear them when I know I won't have a lot of time to do my nails that week. If I have multiple designs on my nails, I always hope I won't get as bored with the nails as quickly.

Neon glitter skittle nails

 I just love skittle nails! I usually break them out when I have a manicure that I want to wear a bit longer than normal. I figure I'll get bored less quickly if I have a different design on each nail.



For this look I used China Glaze Pool Party (the bright neon pink/coral), OPI My Favorite Ornament (sparkles) and OPI Alpine Snow (white).



I free handed the stripes and the heart and used a dotting tool for the polka dots!



I really liked this look but found out around this time that China Glaze polishes are not wearing well on me. Unfortunately,since I was out and about with these nails (my brother was visiting) this manicure got a premature chip, so I ended up redoing my nails anyway! Oh well.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this nail art! I'm always looking for a good skittle nail. I really want to try a sailor skittle sometime soon. Those seem to be all the rage via Instagram.
