Neon Week - Fish Scales

Hi Goddesses



Wow, I am a little late posting tonight and more than a little breathless, as I was watching Andy Murray.  For 11.5 months of the year, Britain doesn't care about tennis, but when Wimbledon's on, we ALL go crazy lol.




Anyway, it was a GREAT match, but I won't spoil the result, just in case you haven't seen it yet.  To the nails, and this one was a hit at work.  If I'm honest, I don't really love it as it's not very "me", but it does work.




This started with 3 coats of w7 white as a good solid base, and then I splodged my neons over the top. We've got -
* Sation Miss Emo Shuns All
* China Glaze Hang-ten Toes
* China Glaze I'm With The Lifeguard
* Color Club Daisy Does It
* China Glaze Surfin' For Boys



The aim of the splodgerama is to create a smorgasboardof colour that blends and clashes - it's then perfect for stamping or arting over.



I used my Barry M white Nail Art Pen here.  As you can see on the thumb, the design started out as a distinct flower, but wobbled a bit as I moved round the fingers!  The pen didn't like being used over the Poshe top coat I'd used to seal my splodgerama, and so the pattern was a bit averse to laying its tracks.




I deliberately mixed it up on index and pinkie, and overall, I don't mind that the art is different from nail to nail.  I think the overall craziness of the neon base helps the randomness of the patterning.
