I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far!? I do! I'm really looking forward to the next week, since I'm finally on vacation~ yay! As I'm not going to travel this time, I'm planning on doing some nail art instead. For example... my current challenge.
Today, I have one more design to show you. It's the fifth out of fourteen themes, so I have quite a few to do this coming week, hehe. So I was supposed to be inspired by my favorite towel, but since mine are all plain single-colored towels, I used one of my sister's towels instead. She is not living with us anymore, so I did this from memory. It's nothing special, but I got to use two of my untried polishes.
First of all, I painted the dark blue, Model's Own Betty Blue on one third of my nails. When that was dry, I added the lighter blue, Catrice Blue Cara Ciao to the rest. I let that dry for quite some time and then added a white stripe and white dots that I would cover up with my neon green polish by the Turkish brand Woo.
That green was really bright. It looked almost glow-in-the-dark, but it's a simple neon. It's quite sheer though. The white was definitely necessary.
Later that day, I went for a walk with my dog quite some time after sunset, but it was not dark yet. I noticed that the green was still really really bright and I decided to take a few pictures when we were back home.
Those last two pictures were taken after that walk in the last daylight. I was surprised that my camera captured it so well. It appeared to be way darker in real life. I think I like neons better than I thought. They are quite fun. But I still can't see myself wearing a full neon mani yet...
That's it for my towel inspired mani. My pool party is coming up next.. hopefully tomorrow!
And here's the list of participants:
Cute! I'm really behind too haha! My summer themes are going to go right into fall =P
AntwortenLöschenOh well, we didn't have any summer yet, so maybe I'm going to have perfect timing when it finally arrives here..? If not, I'll just pretend it's still summer! Looking forward to your next manis :)

Danke erstmal für's Vorbeischauen! Und für's followen natürlich erst recht!
LöschenFreut mich, dass dir das Design gefällt, auch wenn ich nicht unbedingt finde, dass es sauber gearbeitet ist. Aber da bin ich einfach pingelig. Evtl. sollte ich mir auch einfach abgewöhnen im Bett Nailart machen zu wollen :D
Viele Grüße zurück!
