OMD 2: Day 4 - Bright


Hi everyone!

You might have noticed I've been absent the past week - I've been so so busy! I haven't been able to do any nail art or edit pictures, but luckily calmer times are ahead :) Today I have a bright geometric design for you!

I'm participating in the OMD 2 Challenge that Jacqui from Craftynail has organized together with some other bloggers. I knew beforehand that I wouldn't be able to do all challenges because I don't have enough time, so I decided to pick the challenges I had the most inspiration for and that fit best in my busy shedule! I'm actually a day late with my Bright design but I just couldn't write this blog post sooner. Anyway, here it is now!



For this design I used:
Alpine Snow - OPI (not in the picture)
Funny Bunny - OPI
Tropink - Maybelline
Beach - Claire's
Corals Up - Maybelline



I started out with two coats of Alpine Snow, but it bubbled like crazy. So I tried to fix it by adding two coats of Funny Bunny, which didn't really work - but I was tired and just went with my bubbly layers of polish anyway. And in retrospect, they aren't very noticeable :)

I waited until everything had fully dried, and sectioned off some parts with scotch tape to make the bright triangles. And that's it really! It's a simple design, but I like it. And I'm really enjoying geometric designs right now :)

Oh, and this was of course wayyyy brighter in real life - we all know neons (or well, bleached neons too) and camera's don't make a good match.


I'm also super curious what you all did the past week! I'm going to read up on everything right now and go see all your designs :)

Thanks for reading!

  2. These look great! They are so bright and the triangles are so neat! Last week I managed to catch up on all of the blog post I missed over my exams - I didn't realise how many there were until I started looking through them all! :)

    1. Thank you! Yes, that's the sad thing about bright colours :( But since every blogger seens to struggle with this, I don't blame myself too much for not being able to capture the exact brightness :)

  9. Very pretty! I love the bright geometric pattern and also how you chose to use some of the bleached neons for the neon theme. Very clever!
