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.

Made for eachother: neons and nuetrals

Awhile ago, I was browsing one of my favorite nail polish communities, Makeup Alley's Nail Board, and was inspired by their weekly theme: dots.

Dots on manicures are so versatile. They can make a plain manicure look classic or they can bring multiple colors and a unique look to a manicure.

I had recently purchased a few neon nail polishes and knew right away I wanted to use them in an ombre fashion, so when faced with the dot challenge I decided to put my new polishes to good use.



I've seen many manicures featuring neutrals and neon polishes together, but I had never tried it myself. I am so happy I did, I really like how this ended up looking! I don't look great wearing nude-neutrals, so I used a grey polish as the backdrop.



Looks great indoors and outdoors!





Polishes used: I used Zoya Dove as the backdrop, its a great light gray color. I used all China Glaze polishes for the neon colors (I really love their variety of neon colors!). From bottom to top of the nail we have Pool Party, a neon pink leaning coral; Flip Flop Fantasy, a neon light orange leaning oral; and Son of a Peach, a light neon peach.

This definitely has to be one of my favorite dotticures of all time! What do you guys think?
