Rawrrr, Neon!


Hello my blogging friends!!

I'm cheerful and happy because look, neon! I am so in a Summer mood with these nails :D Plus, I finished my papers and examsn today! Woop woop!
I did a quick neon leopard design to kick off my new blog name! What better way to celebrate Roaring Nails than by doing a leopard design, right!



I used these polishes:
Alpine Snow - OPI
Roarrrrange - Essie
Amazing California Love - OPI
Candy Colours Green #4 - Born Pretty Store


I started out with a white base to make the colours pop. I sponged on a gradient with Roarrrrange and Amazing California Love. Then I added leopard spots with white polish first, to make the neon green pop too, and I added the green polish after that. Finally I did the black lines with acrilyc paint and finished off with my Quick Dry top coat from Only You.


I get so happy from looking at this design :) It makes me want to lie next to a pool with a jummy cocktail!


Oh oh, I almost forgot: the neon green polish glows in the dark too! It was really difficult getting a good picture of this - the glow in the dark effect is much more obvious in real life. But anyway:


And to finish this first blog post on Roaring Nails, a gif! Because what's better than a gif with the making of neon leopard print on it and some cute dancing lines! I'm glad Blogger is showing you the gif in it's right quality - Tumblr makes the quality SO ugly!


Voila! Hope you all enjoyed the first Roaring Nails blog post!

See you soon! ;)
