Neon Fishtail Nails

Hello!

It's been a bit cloudy around here so I did some bright nails to cheer me up. I have only done the fishtail design once before and I really liked it so I wanted to try it again.

So let's take a look at these neon nails.

Matte neon nails

I started with a white base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White plus top coat. I cut up small pieces of striping tape and set them all aside so they would be ready.

I started applying the tape in a fishtail pattern after the base was completely dry. Then with a detail brush I filled it each section with a different colored polish. I worked one nail at a time to avoid the polish from drying too quick. I removed the tape as quickly as possible and cleaned up around the nail. Applied one coat of Seche Vite top coat followed by one coat of Zoya Matte Velvet top coat to finish the look.


Here are the polishes used:

Elephant Valentine

Wow where did the week go? Feels like it just flew by!

I have some cute nail art to show you today! My daughter and I love elephants so I did these cute nails and she loved them.

I used Fresh Paint polish. Fresh Paint is available at Five Below stores. Let me just say I had never been to Five Below before! I used to think it was a store that sold like winter gear and stuff, you know because five below zero lol. Until I noticed last year that my nail friends would say they bought polish at Five Below. It's called Five Below because everything is $5 or below! Duh! So there's my funny of the day!

I just discovered a Five Below opened like 10 minutes from me so I was very excited! I went and it's awesome! I need to go back soon. 

So Let's take a look at todays nails.

Fresh Paint Passion Fruit

I did two coats of Fresh Paint 'Passion Fruit' and made some small hearts with glitter polish towards the top of my nails and top coated. On my ring finger I did a little dry brushing using red and pink polish. 

To make the elephant I once again used my DRK Nails pink mat to make it into a decal. I applied clear polish and waited for it to dry completely. Then I made several attempts drawing elephants with black acrylic paint. When I was finally happy with one I filled it in with grey polish and a bit of pink for the ear and cheek. I added a tiny red heart above his trunk. I applied clear polish over the image and waited for it to dry.

To apply the decal I cut the sides a bit and placed it on my nail smoothing it down. I cleaned up around my nail with a brush dipped in acetone. That melted the excess decal off. I finished off with one coat of Seche Vite top coat.

I loved these so much I was so sad to take them off. If I left on every design I loved I would probably only post once a week or every two weeks!

Hope you like these. Thank you for reading!
Happy weekend!
