To begin this manicure, I painted my index and pinky nail a light green, my middle finger black and my ring finger white. The green polish is Pop Beauty Loud Lime, the black is Wet N Wild Black Creme & the white is OPI Alpine Snow. Once the white base had dried, I painted on black stripes with a striper polish by Sinful Colors. On the black nail, I applied a vertical line of medium sized pearls. I left both of the green nails plain, but you could always add more stripes or a glitter top coat. I went over all the nails with the Out The Door Top Coat. XOX ♥
Price: $8.50 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.6 fl oz (full size) The Orly Nail Lacquer in Key Lime Twist is a light neon yellow green. Key Lime Twist is a part of the Sugar High collection. Many neon polishes tend to be on the streaky side, but this one actually has a really nice formula! It is actually quite similar in color to Glowstick (also by Orly) but it's formula is so much better and the color is a bit more pastel. On my nails is two coats of Key Lime Twist. XOX ♥
Price: $8.50 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.6 fl oz (full size) The Orly Nail Lacquer in Candy Shop is a muted warm purple with no shimmer or glitter. Candy Shop is part of Orly's Sugar High collection of colors. Like most Orly polishes I have tried, Candy Shop has a great opaque formula that applies like a dream. On my nails is two coats of Candy Shop. XOX ♥
To begin this nail art, I started off with a white base, OPI Alpine Snow. To create the tie dye look, I used a technique pretty similar to the one stroke flower technique that has become somewhat popular. All the colorful polishes I used are all Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, since they are so opaque. The shades I used are Fuchsia Power, Sun Kissed, Mellow Yellow, Perfect Pear-ing, Blue Me Away & Pinch of Punch. For each stripe of color, I dipped half of a flat paintbrush in the white polish, and the other half in the color. I then painted in little zigzags to make the stripe. I finished off the tie dye with a coat of Nail Tek Intensive Therapy II Top Coat. XOX ♥
