I saw this design quite a long time ago, posted on one of the many Nail Art Facebook Pages that I follow, and archived it as an idea that I definitely wanted to try, but pretty much forgot all about it.
So while deciding on what look to do this week, I felt that I wanted to do something bright, and immediately leaned towards this ‘Neon Pink’. But had no idea what I would do with it.. Until I rediscovered this idea in my archives!! ;D
In my opinion, the effect is very ‘comic book’, and so it was named… 😉
PS. The kitty above is my wrist rest when working with my computer mouse.. cuteness right?!
So I started off this look with my clear base coat, and then 2 coats of Lollylicious by Topshine.
I struggled to capture the true colour on my photos 🙁 Were going into winter now here in SA, so my natural light which I prefer to use when taking photos, has decreased dramatically.. And the flash of my camera just wreaks havoc with bright colours 🙁
As step 2, I used my Ralo Cosmetics – no 54 (black) to paint a border all the way around each nail.
And then I added the ‘2D light reflection effect’ with Rimmel London – Lycra Nail Tip Whitener.
The final step was to seal the look with 2 coats of Yardley GEL LAC Overcoat as my top coat.
And I love the end result! Super bright and cheery, with a good helping of fun added! 😉

I love this!! I just did this exact same look yesterday. It is so much fun!
I was having the same issue with lighting at this time of year so I finally went ahead and got a light box. It has really made life easier!
Great minds think alike!! 😉 lol And thank you for the tip about the light box! I will definitely be looking into that..
This is so graphic…it almost doesn’t look real! I love it!
Thank you so much! While I was wearing this mani I was almost ‘surprised’ everytime I caught sight of my nails, because it was very vivid and almost unreal.. lol
