Neon Fair Isle + Sparkle Manicure

Every time I see a fair isle sweater, it grabs my attention and, more often than not, I have to stop myself from buying it. And colorful neon versions of the patterns were just begging to be turned into a non-traditional winter manicure!

Colors used: Black - Laqa & Co. in Those Meddling Kids | Neon pink - Revlon mini in Tulip | Silver - Sephora by OPI mini in Queen of Everything | Neon orange - Revlon mini in Butterfly | Top coat - Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat | Neon Yellow - Urban Outfitters | Silver glitter - Love & Beauty


And the final result!


I love how it turned out, but this mani didn't even last two days before it started chipping off! So I was sort of bummed. I may try to do it again with more traditional winter colors. We shall see!

You are KILLING IT with your manicures! Love this one! Did you use any tools to create it?

Wow that Love & Beauty silver glitter is stunning, it makes your nails look like disco balls :)

I only used a nail brush I picked up at Sally's Beauty. That and a very steady hand. ;)

Super cheap, too, since I picked it up at Forever 21. ;)

Loooove this!! I have a pair of fair isle long socks that I keep wanting to wear but find no occasion to. Maybe I should wear them on my nails like you, albeit that I don't have as good of an eye or steady hand like you.

I really need to host a manicure party soon!

Adiel said...

Yeah, I was bummed, but then I did Refinery29's snowflake mania. Post coming soon! ;)

Don't forget to bring lots of polish when you come home so we can play nails. I want one of your fun manicures and I might even get lucky and be featured on your blog.

Adiel said...

You gotta tell me what to bring!

I could totally use a Mani by Adiel right now. I finally removed the chipped nail polish that was tarnishing my look for a few days and I need some mani inspiration!
