MODELS OWN - FLIP FLOP

I have never owned any MODELS OWN Nail Polishes before but when I started looking for a perfect neon green shade for my collection, I was WOW-ed by the brightness of this neon shade called Flip Flop which is from MODELS OWN "Polish for Tan" 2014 collection. I immediately bought this polish, just in time for the brighter, warmer summer months. Below is its swatch with some white polka dots added to it. How do you like this shade? I am a happy swatcher as I have found my perfect NEON GREEN polish. Thanks so much for visiting and be sure to subscribe via email so you never miss a post!

Neon Nail Art - Repeat Offender

I almost hardly ever repeat my nail art. There are so many pretty nail designs always popping in my head that I never get to repeat any design, forget about repeating it with the same colors. But this time I loved my neon dotticure design so much that I had to recreate it again.

The only thing I changed from my last design was the accent finger. Instead of adding just the polka dots like last time, I added a really cool design to it. The polishes that I have used are - Neon is Claire's Sunshine, Black is Maybelline's Onyx Rush and White is SinfulColor's Snow Me White.

What do you think? Do you like the design from last time better or this one? I should repeat the accent nail design and create it on all the other nails. What say?

You can see the same nail art which I did last time here.

Splatter Nail Art

Splatter Nails , I have been wanting to try this nail art technique for a long time and finally decided to try them. Even though this nail art technique is easy, it is super messy and requires a lot of cleaning afterwards and I am not exaggerating.

To start with I laid out lots of paper as my area to try out this technique. Then I added tape around my fingers, except the nails so there would be less mess of polish to clean afterwards on my fingers. Once I had done all these preparations I painted my nails in the base color polish which was SinfulColor's Snow Me White. I took multiple polishes and one polish at a time dipped one end of a straw in the polish and placed it on top of my nail. Then I blew into the other end of the straw which splattered the polish on my nails. I repeated this with other polishes and on other nails until I was satisfied with the results. Th nail polishes that I used to create the splatter are - Sinful Color's Summer Peach, Jordana's pop art neon green and Ulta's Celebutante.

Then to add an extra effect, once the polish was dry and I had cleaned up all the mess around my nails, I added neon studs from Born Pretty Store on my nails and sealed it with my favorite top coat.

I had an old bangle with splatter paint effect on it, so I decided to take some shots with the bangle. To get 10% odd your order from BornPrettyStore, use the code QANX31 at checkout.

Neon and Black

Neon polish is hard to wear in day to day life coz the nails are super neon-ish and attract a lot of attention, not that it is a bad thing but I would rather wear neon nails on vacation. And that's what I did on a recent weekend getaway, I painted my nails in neon yellow and added some funky nail art to go with it, in the colors that would compliment neon.

The polishes that I have used are - Neon is Claire's Sunshine, Black is Maybelline's Onyx Rush and White is SinfulColor's Snow Me White.

Pedicure

Did I mention that my niece Esha loves my nail art? and everytime I visit her she wants me to paint her toe nails. So this past long weekend when I was visiting her, she wanted me to paint her toe nails neon orange. Not only I painted her toe nails in neon orange by Orly, I also added some fun nail art to it. Also I painted my sister's nails in pretty red polish with some nail art. Below is a picture of both which I took from my iphone.

Pink Mix-n-Match

Pink Base Coat: Piggy Polish's Just A Girl

Lipstick Print

Hello Friends, hope you all had a great weekend. Today's nail art is inspired by Masaba Gupta's lipstick print collection. Masaba is a young and popular fashion designer from India and her "out of the box" contemporary prints are a fad in India these days.

I have been following her collections for a while now and my most favorite is the "lipstick print" collection. So I couldn't help but recreate it on my nails.

The best part about this collection is the incorporation of neon shades in it.

Isn't the print just gorgeous?
The polishes that I have used are :
Grey: Sally Hansen's Wet Cement
Neon Pink: SinfulColors Professional's Fusion Neon
Neon Orange: SinfulColors Professional's Summer Peach
Neon Yellow: Claire's Sunshine
Dark Blue: Ulta's Moody Blues
Black: Maybelline’s Onyx Rush
White: SinfulColors Professional's Snow Me White

Below is a pic of the actual print
