NAILS: Neon New Age French Manicure..using China Glaze

This was a super fun and new nail look for me.  I decided to do a french with a big bright neon twist.  I used China Glaze Celtic Sun and Quirius (Q.R.S.) in Pink Passion #327.  

To start I put on a base of NailTek as I usually do, let it dry for a bit, then I proceeded by layering down the China Glaze Celtic Sun, I put on 3 light coats as it has a jelly like finish.  Once that was dry I used the Q.R.S to do the french tip and then a top coat.  It was that simple, I always find the french nail to be classic and timeless, but this one is the new french manicure to satisfy our want for bright colors.  People will definitely doing double takes at your nails wearing this look..

I found Q.R.S. at my local beauty supply and the China Glaze from 8ty8beauty.com.

NAILS: China Glaze- In the Lime Light (Neon) & White Out

 So this is my 1st nail look, and it is very green and classic with polka dots  but with a twist as you will see below.  To start I had to 1st cut, shape and buff my nails-I typically find this process tedious.  Once that took and hour..lol... I proceeded with a base coat of  Nail Tek III Protection Plus which is formulated for dry & brittle nails.  Then I applied the China Glaze White out as a base, just one sheer coat and let it dry.  Then I applied China Glaze In the Lime Light, but had to apply about 3 coats for it to be opaque.  I lastly used the White Out again to apply the polka dots with the brush inside -I used it in a stamping motion on the flat head of the brush.  I rate White Out 3 out of 5 stars, because although good as a base color, wearing it alone may not be suitable for all skin tones because it Really is white.  I rate In the Lime Light 3 out of 5 stars because although I love the bright neon green , you have to apply so many coats to achieve opacity, if not for that it would get a higher rating.  See the photos below.....
