What colours did you use for the multi neon nails? X

 

[SweetyStacey]

I'm gonna start a sort of..nail "scrapbook" if ya will, with pics of all the nails i've done/will do, and stick nail art tips in there too. So these are the first few.

Not all the tips i'll stick in there will be getting done on others..just there for art purposes lol

(Oh, the middle one is DivineByDesign's..watch her youtube vids and loved this one )

This nail biter was such a challenge..her other hand was worse. Hopefully the next update will be better again.

I did a wedding party yesterday.
This is the brides nails...
I was asked for blingy so I did the ring fingers, she then decided she needed bling on every finger but they all had to be different..

Lovely! How do you secure your crystals? Coz they look lovely and sparkly whereas mine dull with the topcoat.
Thanks

I can't remember if I posted these or not buy I did the CND peacock plume over Retention+ enhancements. Not perfect but I'm happy although I did find the design quite fiddly

Thanks Waffle, these were gel nails and when I did the final coat of top gloss I pushed them into the gel before curing.
Tbh I put a thin coat of top gloss over the whole nail as normal compley OK ng the hand, then I went back and put a dot of top gloss where I wanted the crystals and popped the crystal onto it, pushed it down a tad to cover not only its base but the widest part then did more doing the same then cured.
The idea being that once cured the widest part of the crystal would be held in the hardened fell rather than sat on top.
There is nothing covering them only a wipe of cleanse to remove tacky later and cuticle oil.. They are really really blingy in real life xx

Great explanation, thank you. Ill do that with my NSI gel. However, if I'm using shellac is it the same principle? Thanks x

 

[RachelLynch]

I enjoyed doing these, shellac over acrylic, not perfect but I rarely do nail art

 

[RachelLynch]

Better quality!

Hi treacle 44, i used shellac studio white then neon pigments off ebay, to get them very bright i used clearly pink then the pigment again then top coat. X
