Black and Neon Abstract Square Nails

More abstract nails!!!

I also got the inspiration for the square design off of a pattern on Pinterest. Pinterest is such an awesome place to go if you're lacking nail inspiration, there are so many different and fun patterns on there it will destroy that road block and get you excited to do some nail art within 5 minutes I swear! 

I've been wanting to do this design for a while and I' so happy with the way that it came out! Tell me what you guys think!

I started off with a base of Wet n Wild Black Creme on my index and middle nails and China Glaze Pool Party (new version) on my ring and pinky nails. I created the square design with white acrylic paint and a thin, long bristled nail art brush. While those were drying I applied two layers of TLLB Glow-Stly on my ring and pinky nails and then two dots near my cuticle with Wet n Wild Black Creme. Finally I sealed all of my nails in with some Sech Vite and to add a little bit extra something I added a layer of NYC Matte Me Crazy on just my index and middle nails. And that was it!



I love the contrast between the flat and dark square nails against the bright, holographic, and shiny neon nails. I feel like it gives so much visual interest and I honestly didn't want to take this design off like.... ever. LOL

What do you guys think?

Keep an eye out on my Instagram and YouTube Channel for tutorials on this look!

Thanks loves :)

Neon French Manicure with China Glaze Pool Party

You know what really bothers me? When I'm running out of a particular polish that I love and go to buy a new one only to find that it's been completely reformulated!! 

Now I've heard that China Glaze Pool Party had been changed through the grapevine but it still get on my nerves when I just want to original formula! Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the new color, but I really really loved the old neon pink deliciousness. Ugh.

Oh well though right? I can't tell companies what to do and not to do with their polishes that's their prerogative ;) So now that I've had my little vent sesh let's get on to the nails shall we? I've been loving colored tip french manicures a lot lately and what's better then some neon tips?!

I started off with a base of OPI Bubble Bath, the perfect base for a french manicure. When it was completely dry I took some reinforcement hole stickers and put them right by my smile line, I went a bit above because I wanted an exaggerated free edge ;) Then I painted China Glaze Pool Party (new formula -_-) over the tip and removed the sticker. I added some China Glaze Fairy Dust on top because I can and I love sparkles! And one coat of Essie Good To Go to seal everything in. 




OH! And I made an instagram tutorial video!!!! My second one ever wooooooooooo! So make sure you go follow me @pinkandpolishednails to check it out (You can click the link and it will take you there!) 

I really enjoyed the blindingly bright tips, they never failed to capture my attention especially if it was sunny out ;) 

What's your favorite color for french tip nails?

Thanks loves :)
