GOT polish? Neon!

Hi!

I've had a bit of an unintentional blogging break for a few days, but I'm back with this weeks golden oldie for you, and the prompt was neon. I've been loving a bit of neon lately but for these nails I went for pure trash and I love it! My neon was a mini Orly in Hottie - a bright pink that looks slightly coral toned. I think it would have been brighter if I'd used white undies but I knew I'd never get it even with the chevron French tips, and that the overlay of fierce animal print would hide any visible nail line - this was three coats and the VNL was a plenty! I accented it with zebra stripes and leopard print (with glitter - China Glaze Glistening Snow - because it just needed to be more in your face...) I think this is possibly one of the loudest manis I've ever done! And I'm helping out at my sons school today...perhaps I should have changed it! I had to shorten my nails a little because of a break and I thought it was the perfect time to try the chevron tips. They're not 100% but I really like the shape.




What do you think? Tacky or timeless? I think I know the answer...

NOTD - Milkshake and leopard print

Hi guys,

I'm feeling pretty rough so this will be short and hopefully sweet, and then I am taking my flu-ridden arse to bed! I said the other day I had broken my no buy as the old man bought me two polishes for hitting a weight loss milestone, and one of them was Collection 2000 Hot Looks Milkshake. These polishes are only about £1.79 for an 8ml bottle but at the moment they are 2 for £1.99 in Superdrug (I have my eye on another couple...). Milkshake is a nice nude-pinky-brown that was opaque in 2 coats. I then added leopard print to ring finger and thumb using MUA Shade 4 and the other Hot Looks polish I got, All That Jazz. So, even though I added 2 polishes to my untrieds I used them straight away, and can cross MUA Shade 4 off the list too...



I love the look of this manicure, it looks clean and on trend - very yummy Mummy of me!

What do you do to jazz up plain manicures? Are you a fan of an accent nail?
