Neon Gradient Cow

Hello :)

I also made these a couple of weeks ago for the Unnatural Animals challenge. I really wanted to try the make-up sponges sponge technique. I usually sponge color by color with Konad sponges and when I do a holo gradient I just paint them layer by layer because those polishes blend perfectly. But doing all the colors on a make-up sponge seemed a lot easier and faster, so I tried it :)

I did this over my Romance in Paris nails, just quickly removed the decal and stamps a bit. Did not want to paint a base again and I thought that light pink will be good underneath it. So it is not so neat but I was happy with it

I thought a neon gradient Cow with blue spots was unnatural enough for the challenge ;)

The base is sponged over Orly Cotton Candy with all 6 colors of the China Glaze Poolside collection (Pool Party, Flip Flop Fantasy, Sun Worshiper, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Kiwi Cool-Ada, Towel Toy Boy) Stamped some Cow prints with Konad PSN coral blue and imageplate M61.

Here some pictures with different lighting, it is always difficult to capture neons.

Also some swatch pictures. Like I said it wasn't very neat, you see parts of the stamps under it and the base wasn't totally smooth anymore. But with stamping it wasn't showing.

Have a nice and happy weekend :) The weather is sooo great here in Holland. I am wearing a neon gradient right now too, but I will show you that one next week ;)

Let's do it in 3D with nail art

For today I have Let's do it in 3D with glitter and glamour nailart. I've made this in March 2010 for a party of my boyfriends work and the theme of this party was glitter and glamour.

I used Konad SN black pearl and white, imageplates M14, M40 and M61. On my ringfinger I have a line of silver beads around the white diamond heart. And around that some silver and black rhinestones. Photo with flash.

Photo without flash under artificial light. So you can see the beads better.

It was really funny at this party there was a small stand where you could have you nails painted and decorated, I was curious but I'm also shy so first I didn't had the guts to go and have a look. But when a was finally looking it was kind of disappointing for me just one coat of polish no matter if it's sheer and some straight or curvy lines with a striper that was it. I was really glad I did my own naisl already and started to daydream how great it would be if I was standing there doing peoples nails with Konad, rhinestones and decals :)  (I didn't know anyone at this party so doing nails with be a great way of spending my time)

When I was looking some women noticed my nails and asked my if I just had them done there, I said no I did them at home myself especially for this party. And then they said oh okay and didn't say anything anymore.....it bit weird but later of find out that one of the women was the wife of the big boss. So perhaps she was disappointed that I did not made use of the hired girl with her stand at the party hahaha :) Anyway I liked my own creation and it was totally great for that party.
