Today I’m joining a nail art challenge, the #BusyGirlNails with the theme “Summer”. The challenge is an Instagram based one hosted by @beautybyarielle, @fiercemakeupandnails, @mirandasmakeup and @drinkcitra that goes on once a week during five weeks. The theme for the first week is “Neon” and for that I did a water spotted manicure with a neon base.
Neon Water Spotted Nail Art
I started by applying two coats of the newly bought Sephora – Under the covers. The polish didn’t cover entirely in two coats but because I wanted to use it as a base for my neon of choice, the bright yellow China Glaze – Polka Dot Bikini I only applied the third coat on the accent nail. I was hoping to find a new favorite in Under the covers but I didn’t. I only applied one coat of Polka Dot Bikini over the white base and that was more than enough to get the neon yellow brightness that I wanted. Yellow Polka Dot Bikini is a little bit old (since 2010) and the application of it isn’t that great as one would wish. I also remember it having a terrible formula from the beginning and the years only made it worse :D Anyway the color is still amazing for a yellow neon. For the water spotted look I used Nordic Cap NP12 and some hairspray.

Otroligt snyggt och häftigt!
Så snyggt! Det där med hårspray måste ju bara testas! :)
It looks amazing on you hon!!! By the way: Cult Nails Tempest is my alltime stark white polish – best formula ever in a white polish!! <3
Så läckert det blev!
I love the spotted effect! is so cool!
Wow! Very cool summer nails!
That looks very cool!
Snyggt värre, hur gör du när du använder hårsprayen? Målar ett lager lack och sprayar ovanpå innan det hinner torka?

Jag gör ungefär som med vattenmarmorering: droppar nagellack i ett glas och använder hårsprej istället för en pinne för att skapa mönster i nagellacket. Sedan doppar jag fingrarna i mönstret :)
Tackar, det måste jag testa. :)
Läckert som tusan
This nail art looks great! I love all these colors together :)
