Rainbow Roses

Ever spend so much time on a nail design that your eyes start to cross? This was it for me. I really wanted to have this neon rose look. I am head over heels in love with how they turned out. So much better than I had imagined in my head. So I'd say that were worth the headache.

To save myself some time I stamped all of the roses first. They are from plate BP30 from Born Pretty Store. I stamped them with Klean Color Black. While the black was drying I went in and painted two coats of Honeydew by Fresh Paint. You can Fresh Paint at Five Below. I was really surprised at how well this polish applied. It was patchy the first coat but evened out on the second just time.

All of the colors I used for the roses are from Color Club. The pink is Peace, Love, & Polish. The orange is Foxy Mama. The yellow is Not-So-Mellow Yellow. What a Shock is the name of the green. The only non shimmer polish is the blue which is Chelsea Girl. Last but not least is the purple called Ultra Violet. Because of them being neon I went over the top of the colors I filled in with Essie Blanc which is just a white. It really helps them stand out when applied over the green.

I wanted the roses to fully dry before I applied them because I was worried the colors would smear with top coat so I just set them off to the side while I went in and stamped with Mundo de Unas #55 Orchid and Mo-You London plate Tourist 21. It is a bit hard to see but the stamp says Ooh lala. It is from their Paris themed plate. Because I had let the roses dry to get them to stick to my nail I just went in with a thin coat of Glisten & Glow Hk Girl Top coat. It gives the stamp something to adhere to.

 I used two coats of Seche Vite to help seal in the design. I used two coats because I felt like the roses were raised a bit high. I don't want them to hang on anything.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
