I saw this design done by McKenna's nails on instagram (I don't believe she has a blog, but please let me know if I'm mistaken) and I just about died of nail polish design happiness. It was an absolute must-re-create because of its simplicity yet stunning BAM IN YOUR FACE effect, like I already explained in the paragraph above. Oh and it's reminiscent of a spring that's just not happening yet.
First off here's my version with the nailspiration:
I chose to use slightly different pastel neons (decided to go a bit more lime and a bit less blue) and flipped the triangle design. Both mine and McKenna's manis are mattified here.
And here's my original rendition, with shiny top coat which brings out the neon a bit more:
Here's the mani with a matte topcoat again. I think I prefer it matte. It just works so well with the warm nude offsetting the soft neons... la la la obviously you agree with me. The matte version was a lot harder to photograph. The photos would only show contrast between the neons and the nude sides when my nails were under serious shade.
MMmm springtime manis, mmmm yeah!
Polishes used:
- OPI 'My vampire is buff' (the best neutral ivory ever)
- Sephora X 'Over the top' (soft cool lime green)
- Charlotte Russe 'Pastel SP09 NAI' (mystery sweet minty polish with pearlescent pink shimmer - see my previous post for my rant on how sad I am that I cannot source this polish anywhere on the inter webs)
- Nails inc. 'Chelsea physic garden' (baby blue)
- Seche White (undercoat, not pictured)

A neutral triangle over a soft neon gradient makes for a captivating book cover design. Pairing this with the best ghostwriting services ensures your content is as striking as the visuals.
