New 31 day challenge day 7 - skittles

Morning!

Another not so successful mani today. The challenge was to create skittles, and I went for a neon and nude. I've done Neon and Nude in a few guises before, and my on original neon and nude tips post I had a request for a skittle version. Ok, it was nearly a year ago, but I'm happy to oblige! However, it was fated to be a fail from the start as my favourite nude polish had locked itself shut and Mr NN had to take the pliers to it to get it open. Then the formula had gone a bit lumpy and streaky. And then as you can see the chevron tips I tried were less that neat. AND then the topcoat streaked...oh well, we live and learn!

The nude is Nails Inc Basil Street, and the neons are from the Color Club Poptastic collection with the exception of the yellow which is Orly Glowstick.

Tomorrow's post is duochrome, and I didn't fail! Yay!

NOTD - Wild Neon and Nude

Hiya!

Today's mani is from a time long ago, when nubs didn't exist and I wasn't stressed to the max because of bloody school holidays. Whose idea was it to give school kids 6 weeks off school all in one go? Seriously mate, whoever you are (and it's bound to be a bloke) do you have kids of your own? I suspect not, because if you do I doubt kids would get any holidays at all...

I digress, this mani started off as a base of Nails Inc Basil Street, my favourite nude. I them stamped a leopard print over it and filled in some of the print with neons from the Color Club Poptastic collection using a dotting dool and not much care and attention, it seems...

I do like an animal print. Classy.
