Simple Handpainted Tribal? Design

As I promised in my last post, I have finally stepped away from my stamping supplies and hand painted my nails!

I decided I wanted to paint a pattern on my nails with grey, black and a fluoro polish and found this simple pattern from http://ingredingrid.com/


 I started off by painting the pattern down the centre of my nails. Unfortunately I couldn't fit many repeats on!



 

 I really liked my nails like that and wore them for a day before adding more of the patten to the sides :)



 I had a lot of trouble photographing the fluoro polish- if anyone has any tips I would be forever grateful!!!!


The Polishes I used were:
Fluoro yellow: China Glaze Sun-Kissed  (This is slightly shimmery and very opaque)
Grey metallic: China Glaze Awaken
White base: OPI alpine snow
and the black is acrylic paint :)


 So what do you think of this simple pattern?
I like it- It was easy to do and looks sort of tribal :)


Thanks for stopping by my blog

      Thanks so much!!! It was much better in real life when the neon was actually neon! hehe

    I love both versions of this! The pattern is so simple but stands out so much with the neon polish! :)

      Thanks very much :) I think I like the second one slightly more (which is lucky seeing as I wore it longer !)

    These look amazing! I love the pop of neon and the starkly graphic design :) Your lines are perfect!
