Neon-Metallic Fusion Part II

See part 1 here.

Essie Devil's Advocate with China Glaze Icicle, That's Shore Bright, Flip Flop Fantasy and Too Yacht to Handle

This color scheme may seem familiar, as these are the exact same colors I used in my Deconstructed Roses manicure. I was only allowed so many nail polishes in my carry-on, so I just grabbed my favorites, and that was that.

In a way, it was more challenging trying to think of something different to do with the same colors, but I just picked up a dotting tool and did whatever felt natural. Everything was done with a dotting tool (someday I'll graduate to brushes...), so it was super simple to create this funky mani. On my thumb and ring finger, I did the dots in straight rows, as normal. I was going to leave them as accent nails, but it was too tempting to just use the grid as a pattern for more chevrons! I'll be using that as a tool from now on!

China Glaze Sun Worshipper and Flip Flop Fantasy, Sally Hansen Gunmetal

Hi everyone! I had my day off yesterday, so I obviously took the time to paint my nails (and catch up on So You Think You Can Dance). I really had no plan with these, I just really liked these three colors together. I needed something bright to combat the overcast skies in Maine. They almost glow; it's wonderful.

Hope you like them! :)

Who Doesn't Love a Dotticure?

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy with Wet 'N Wild I Need A Refresh-mint, Nicole by OPI Candid Cameron and China Glaze Icicle

This next week and a half will be full of big assignments as the semester wraps up, and reading period begins. So today, after an Evolution presentation, I decided to treat myself and paint my nails (because who knows when I'll have time to do them again before summer?).

I wasn't feeling particularly creative today; all I knew was that I wanted to use Flip Flop Fantasy because it's so bright and wonderful. I went for my trusty dotting tools, and this is what happened. I like it. Simple, but interesting.

Also, I really like taking pictures of my nails by my window now. The [indirect] natural light does wonders for the color and overall quality of my photos.
