This will be a quick post featuring my freshly done manicure!
I don't know if it's just me, but taking two and a half hours to finish a manicure, is that normal? ;x Yup, that's how long this one took. I think primarily due to me not knowing what to do with two of the fingers. Not to mention dry time in between.
This manicure is mostly neon with a very vivid, bright purple, just using three polishes and one nail art polish. I did have most of it planned out, just not the nail art polish.
The three main colors that I used are all from Ruby Wing; Groupie (neon pink), Electric Firefly (yellow with a subtle teal duochrome), and Crowd Surf (vivid purple). For the white nail art polish I used Bad Chick from Sinful Colors. The three Ruby Wing polishes WILL change color in sun light, so I don't know how this will look in sun light! I'll be finding out tomorrow though :D
When I went to take photos, because of how vivid the purple is, it made my camera go wonky causing the purple and pink to blend together in the photos. So, I had to switch to my natural setting.

I think I may attempt a video tutorial for this being I now know what I'd change. Not terribly happy with the white on pink, because I would have preferred a vivid purple. But I work with what I have, especially at this time of night!
Now, to work on my May favorites! There should be plenty there, I didn't do an April one because... well... I only had two =\
They look so good! I'd have no chance even attempting this, haha!

Haha! They're actually simple, but time consuming with the wait time.
DeleteThis looks amazing! I couldn't even do anything like that. I can barely put dots on my nails haha. New follower here! Love your blog theme too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D
DeleteI had a co-worker say the same about dots, I don't want to say they're fool proof because I've even messed them up. Starting the dot off small with a dotting tool or even a toothpick, then going over the dot again with another layer of polish to "grow" it out, is how I started with dots.
Two and a half hours for a manicure sounds about right to me, haha! This looks amazing, you really did a fabulous job.

What an awesome mani!! I love your ring finger design!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteThank you for posting how long it took to do the manicure, as I always wonder about that. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe drying time is what can drag it out, which can be a pain. Not to mention, knocking into something and smudging the nail, I normally end up doing that.
DeleteCool mani...awesome color comboing and lovely nail art work. Very nice. :)
