Recently (well, it’s a relative term) I found this fun and super easy manicure on NeverlandNailBlog, and I decided that even I would be able to recreate it. So I went ahead – let’s go about this step by step.
First I wanted to wear this blinging, eye-searing neon orange from Sinful Colors, which has the misleading name Summer Peach. Sounds much more innocent than it is!
The neon-ity of it really surfaces in twilight. I tried my best to make pictures in the dusk, but it’s difficult. So I hope you still like them – lightbox pictures just don’t do this polishes justice. The polish itself dries semi-matte, which is a finish I enjoy in combination with neon polishes. Could you imagine a neon polish with a glossy finish? I think it’d be odd.
For overkill and to make sure your optician’s pension fund will grown, another picture of this orange. Don’t look straight into the orange, I’d suggest.
Over the orange I put one coat of Sinful Colors Dream On and then, while it was still wet-ish, one coat of Sinful Colors Fusion Neon. 
Then I took a paper clip, bent it so that I could use the wire to scratch through my nail polish and went ahead. You can find a wonderfully perfect tutorial on NeverlandNailBlog, (link above) but I’m a consumer when it comes to tutorials, so I’ll just describe a bit how this worked, end.
First I was afraid (I was petrified) that I’d scratch my nails. Then I realised that if I’d pay attention, there was little chance that I’d actually ruin something, so I held the little wire crooked and just made some lines in the polish. I think that this type of nail art would be especially fitting for Halloween. 
The next time I’m trying that, I’ll put a darker color over the neon – I love how it glows from underneath – or use a glow in the dark polish underneath. What do you think? Yay or nay?




Most striking combination.
I tried this tutorial as well, for halloween, but my scratches don’t even look half as nice as yours
And I actually love neons that look their best in dusk. You just keep staring at your nails wondering if everybody else is just as fascinated
Wow, this is a really neat technique. Gonna head over too Neverland Nail Blog to check it out
