Neon Brights











Feature Colors:
  • China Glaze_Sun Worshipper (neon orange/yellow)
  • Zoya_America (tomato red)
  • China Glaze_Lemon Fizz (yellow pastel)
Note: The pictures were taken in the sun, therefore, Sun Worshipper barely shows up. Sun Worshipper is blended between the red and yellow polish.

Flower Child

A friend of mine requested, actually demanded, that I do another sponge design. So, I tried out something pretty simple to demonstrate. I included some extra photos for each step of the process. Enjoy!


Featured Colors:
  • China Glaze_Flip Flop Fantasy
  • China Glaze_Sun Worshiper
  • China Glaze_Towel Boy Toy
  • China Glaze_Kiwi Cool-Ada
  • Zoya_Creamy
  • Special Stamping Polish_Black

Design:
  • Step 1:  Cut off a piece of sponge.
  • Step 2: Use 4-5 drops of nail polish on wax paper.
  • Step 3: Dab sponge on to nails, slowly building color with each application.




  • Step 4: Apply the Konad design to tip of nails. I used plate m60.
