Nail Challenge Collaborative: Tropical Neon

Hello Readers!


This month's prompt for the Nail Challenge Collaborative is "neon". I was a little bit stumped at first as to what I wanted to do, but finally I decided to take my inspiration from instagram user Clairestelle8 and layer black stamping over a neon base.

I also thought it would be fun to break out one of my MoYou London Tropical plates because they have some great full nail designs for layering.

I decided to do a technique I haven't played with a whole lot- smoosh manis.

So, to do this I started with a base of white. I just used my go-to white, Sinful Colors "Snow Me White". Next, I put little dots of the 3 neon nail polishes all over my stamper head and smooshed them onto my nail. A barrier of liquid latex really helps when using this technique- it can get a little messy!

Finally, I used an image from the MoYou London "Tropical 17" plate and stamped over everything with black stamping polish. Again, I always like to use liquid latex when working with black stamping polish because it is a pain to clean off your skin!


This was a fun and fairly easy mani to do, and a great way to get a colorful look without spending 5 years filling in 10 full nail decals! Hope you enjoyed it- and be sure to check out the other neon manis in the link-up below!
