Neon Leopard Nails






Neon leopard nails will cheer you right up when -

1. Your hours are down at work so you are gonna be poor for a few months :( (and it's minimum wage anyway wahwahwah! /crybaby)
2. You did not get a new job...
3. Which means you're still living in your parents' house for the foreseeable future.
4. Your nails are all short now... etc

It totally works, I can guarantee it! 100% cure for those who are down in the dumps. This is my first leopard NOTD attempt and I really, really love it! I was particulary proud of my thumbs, so they get their own 'portraits'.

I used Illamasqua polishes in Fern (glass-flecked blue), Collide (neon pink) and Rare (neon yellow). Essie Liquorice is my only black (nearly all used up from a holo-franken experiment) and it was used on a toothpick for the outlines. I also started with my usual Essie 'fill the gap' base and ended with a thick coat of their 'good to go' fast dry topcoat.

Thanks for looking,

Ruth x

  7. Lillian - yes, quite. I have managed to get it pretty much opaque in two coats. I was a bit disappointed for the price... better than other neons I have tried but not the best I could ever imagine. At least I got it discounted.

    Everyone else - Yay! Thanks for being so nice when I'm in a rubbish mood. Aw!
