Time to give some love to my older polishes, this week I have been searching for neons. I don't have many and some are too new to be a part of this challenge...but these babies here fit the bill perfectly. Some I've had for two years others for one year.
And the neons are:
The Nail Junkie Summer Neon Jellies.
Blueberry and Apple:
Grape and Orange:
Pardon my trashy cuticles I've been bad at moisturising the past two weeks :/
I love Aleta's polishes, they are gorgeous and easy to work with.
These babies are jellies so I highly recommend you use a white polish as
base.
I love that they all have micro glitter in them as well:
Apple and Orange are insanely neon and are quite hard to catch in pictures.
One of my co-workers actually commented on these and asked me if I'd done my nails like the Ice Truck Killer from Dexter - that made me grin, since it's a guy :D, not to mention the fact I'm a pink and yellow short of it being ITK nails ;)
Summer has really decided to join us here in Denmark - sun is shining and temperature is rising. So it is very fitting that this week's FF mani is a summer mani.
I've been trying to do fan brush nail art a couple of times, but couldn't get the hang of it until one of my lacquer friends informed me that it would be a good idea to wet the brush a bit to get proper brush separation :D
So with this in mind and this video in front of me I got started.
I have been looking at my Nail Junkie Green Apple for some time now wanting to use it for nail art, it is a lovely neon green shimmer jelly that dries with a satiny finish. The colour is really hard to capture and I have been totally unable to represent the Greenness of this polish - in my bottle pictures it comes off too yellow. And I couldn't even colour correct it in my photo editing programme :O
I also wanted something sunny and something water like, so I chose Catrice Twist of Lemonand China Glaze Custom Kicks to get that feeling:
Awesome yellow golden shimmer
I used Apple as base layer and then I fan brushed Custom Kicks first. I was afraid Twist of Lemon would "drown" if I'd started with it so that ended up as the second polish. I only did one "layer" of each in order not to cover up Apple.
Oh and somehow those hearts just begged to be part of this ;) I made them with Cult Nails Annalicious
I've felt like going on holiday for the past week just because of these nails...
Luckily my summer holiday starts today ;)
Fælles Fredag er i dag en sommer mani/pedi. Jeg er lidt vild med de neon jellies jeg har fra The Nail Junkie - især den grønne Apple. Jeg tænkte den ville være perfekt som grundlag for noget viftepensel sjov. Jeg er blevet i rigtig sommerhumør af at have den på i denne uge - og heldigvis starter min ferie i dag :D
