Nail Art: #31DC2014 Day 9 Rainbow

Press Sample

Today is rainbow day! I had tons of ideas for the challenge today, but I decided to go with a water marble and some dots over a beautiful sparkle polish! I started with Daily Hues Ashlyn from her new Fall Collection. I will have a swatch post for you soon on the polishes I received from that collection. For the rainbow colors I used Julie G's summer collection! I swatched those as well, and I was really impressed. I didn't know they water marbled well until I tried it here!

Neon Week Nail Art: Neon Rainbow Flowers

Neon Week is going by very quickly! If you missed day one or two you can see them here: Neon Mist (Day 1) and Monochrome Arrows (Day 2). Day 2 also had a tutorial, so be sure to check that out. For today's look I was inspired by the way that Oh My Gosh Polish did her Rainbow Abstract Dab and I wanted to re-create the underlying color. She is amazing and she posts YouTube videos daily and sometimes more than once daily! She seems like such a sweet lady too. Definitely go check her out. She used a dry brush technique which is one that I love! I ended up with a dry brushed rainbow as a base and then I stamped over it! I used China Glaze White On White to make the neons pop. Then I started with Color Club Warhol at the base of my nail and feathered it out far enough to create an orange blend between it and Orly Glowstick. Then I feathered Glowstick out enough to create a green with it and Color Club Chelsea Girl, and finally feathered that out and blended it with Color Club Mrs. Robinson. All of the Color Clubs are from the old Poptastic Collection. I then stamped with plate D14 from the Born Pretty Store and used Wet N Wild Black Creme.
