Fancy Friday #62: Neon

Summer is finally  here!! As I write this the sun is shining brightly even though it is past seven in the evening. I love that we have summer evenings where the sun doesn't set until nine.

And how appropriate that the theme is neon, then. Sadly I didn't get to take pictures of my mani in the sun, but I played a little with my lighting setup and ended up with something that resembles sunlight.

 Of course I dinged my nail just before I took this photo :O

In indirect light it is really hard to see all the neon gorgeousness.

Tadaaaaaaaa -  NEON...or what?

Initially I thought the leopard spots were a fail but I wanted to try out my new brushes a bit more and actually found them easier to work with the second time around, but as "leopard spot applier" it wasn't as good as a dotting tool.

 And actually, when you look at my nails from afar they look leopardy enough ;)

Udfordringen er neon i denne uge. Jeg havde lyst til at bruge en række af mine neon lakker så jeg tænkte at en leopardmani nok ville være at foretrække. Og de ser virkelig fede ud på afstand - så ligegyldig med at jeg umiddelbart syntes det var FAIL på højt plan...

Challenge Week 26: Neon Mani

Hey I'm on a roll here, so I'll post another challenge mani now. I checked my stash and realised I really didn't have a proper neon polish - that was until I saw the writing on the Dior box for my Aloha polish: Flourescent. Haha, I thought , that counts for neon don't it? Yes it does, hooray I can showcase this on the blog!!

It had incredible wear time. I work as a film technician and I open quite many film cans during the day which means chipped manis every other day. But this beauty held up though being heavily abused for four days. Yes I loved it so much I kept it on for as long as I could :D




As some of the more perceptive of you might have realised by now...



...the ring finger shows slight discolouration...

...which stems from it not being Aloha but Maybelline Sunset Prisms 330



...though not the same as this Sunset Prisms

 I'm not a corally girl, but I really like Maybelline Sunset Prisms, my accent ring finger nail, which was RAOKed me by Sheila from Pointless Café. And though I'm usually not a big fan of VNL (Aloha is three layers and you can still see the nail line), Aloha is such a wonderful polish that I REALLY don't care :D
