| Hand made tiger stripes |

| Yellow stamping with BM-XL05 |
I bought some gel polishes on clearance from Sally's. The above pictures are Orly "Melt you Popsicle". Amazingly, both photos are the same base color. The first was with lighting from behind and the second was direct lighting from above. The yellow stamping really toned down the neon. The neon with tiger stripes is the boldest mani I have worn to work. Nothing came of it. The tiger stripes garnered some positive comments from guys. They thought I was a Bengals fan. Women associated it with Tigger from Winnie the Poo. Either way it has been a fun bold color to wear. Since it is a gel polish, I tend to wear gel for at least a week since it is more work to remove.
The best thing about a good gel polish mani is that it is very tough. For a guy that uses his hands at work, gel polish doesn't chip and looks as good as new after a week. I have a black gel I wear now and then. Go gel if you want a durable polish to wear for a couple of weeks.
I love neon orange! The flower stamping looks great. I thought it was, like, a stampy sandwich. :3
ReplyDeleteI bet if I stamped white flowers between coats of gel, it would have looked the same. I'll have to try that sometime.
DeleteNeon orange is so cool. I love it

Nice ones, before reaching up to such immaginific patterns, did you also started from plain black, when first painting your nails and stayed with that for long?
ReplyDeleteI started wearing polish with darker colors without any nail art. Over time I got into stamping and started wearing all colors.
DeleteHere I'm back. I forgot the site, meaning I couldn't find it back.
DeleteInteresting, it must be a common experience, that's where I am now, plain black and just on fingernails, which I pair when I go for more edgy "rock - goth" looks, not all black, though.
I'm considering blue, deep purple, metallized grey. I doubt I will go for patterns, but never say never, I like some nice and sober ones, consistent with dark dominant colors.
What has inspired you to create such a beauty? Recently I`ve tried a nail and spa treatment. It turned out to be such a pleasure. Now I`m one of those guys who take care of themselves!
ReplyDeleteI have always admired womens nails and especially when they have nail art. After I started wearing polish on my nails, I began playing around with nail art and stamping. It became a real hobby and I love it. I enjoy going for a pedicure every three weeks. It keeps my feet in good shape and is just darn enjoyable.
