Neon Nautical Nails

I could go on and on about how I'm busy, but I wont bore you... so let us jump right in!  Today I have for you a Summery Neon Nautical themed nail design.  It has a blocky, abstract feel to it, but the colors are to die for!  A note, these are not my fingers, only my haniwork!  Welcome our hand model, Alexa :)


With some cute suffed baby bull



The design was pinterest inspired, but the design that we were originally going for had a green seafoam color instead of neon yellow in the middle, and a light gold instead of copper, so we modified it based on the colors I have in my stash.  Personally I love how these came out and am ssuuuuppperrr jealous that these are not my fingers.... such is life, I suppose.  The colors I used are as follows:  Zoya's Phoebe (matte), China Glaze's white on white and Celtic Sun (neon), and for "striping" I used Revlon's Copper penny.  

I would love to put up recent pictures of my nails, but a moment of silence please.............. I had to chop of my nails because I had to babysit my beautiful niece and rambunctious nephew last week and heavens forgive me, I hurt my nephew with my fingernail, so one or the other had to go.  Not even a delay in the decision, off they went, and even though they never really get very long, they are to be mourned nonetheless. 

On to an unrelated yet tangential topic, I found a picture today and it redefined optimism for me.....


And there you have it.... Optimism to the max!


Don't forget to comment and add me!  Have an optimistic, and beautiful day!!
