Hello Everyone!
When it's 30°C, the last think you want to do is do your nails, you'd rather plunge into a cold bath and read a book while you're slowly getting comfortable and cooling off. But you know, when you're addicted to nail art, you won't leave a chipped mani on for another day, so I had to do what I had to do!
I decided to recreate a design I saw on Pinterest (you can follow me there if you'd like). I really wanted to do a palm trees nail art again, they are one of my favs along with nautical nail art.
It kinda has a retro feel to it and I love that! I didn't want to bother doing a gradient, everyone who has done their nails during a heat wave of Hell, will avoid doing gradient or anything complicated as the polishes get gooey real fast!
I could have bothered and use tape for the lines but I didn't :) It's all freehand again, it was just quicker to do it that way.
The colors are perfect for this weather, would probably have loved doing them with neon colors, but like +Fabiana N I don't have that many neon polishes either. Yeah I know, it has to be rectified! I'm working on it!
I hope you enjoyed this manicure! Have a nice end of the week and see you next time!

Fabiana's ManiSteal from Crystal Bond
Today, I have for you the #ManiSteal that I did from +Crystal Bond The Polish Plebe beautiful freehand neon stripes.
I really have to give it to her. This was a CHALLENGE. You do the black base. Then you do the white strips. THEN you paint over the white stripes with the neons...
#FACEPALM!
Let's start with doing your nails starting around 11 at night. Strike one.
I am horrible at freehand stripes. Striiike two!
The consistency of the neon polishes I used varied and most were on the "I don't feel like going on evenly!" lot. Striiiiike three, YUR OUTTA HERE!
I know... whine, whine, whine.
It took me a few hours, but the end result was really striking. Har har! The game was won... at a high cost of patience and sleep deprivation. ;)



Polishes:
Color Club "Glitter Envy"
Color Club "Warhol"
Serum No. 5 "Orange You Sunny" (I will be doing a post soon where you will be able to see just how glorious this glow in the dark is)
Serum No. 5 "Indi-glo"
Zoya "Charisma"
Cirque "Memento Mori"
Here is Crystal's original mani:

I really encourage you to check out her blog! :D The Polish Plebe
Until next time, sincerely yours, Fabiana.
