Nail Art Fail: OPI Neons Tribal!

Previous
Press Sample

I didn't have time to change my nails for today, so I looked through my archive of un-posted manis and came across this one. I had such high hopes for using all of the new OPI Neons in a tribal print, but when I left out black, it didn't pop as I'd hoped. I won't make that mistake again. 

I started out with a couple coats of the white base coat that came with the OPI Neons Collection: OPI Put A Coat On! Then, using a detail brush and dotting tools, I did different tribal patterns using the Neons! Seche Vite was used as a top coat.



What do you think? Can you see why I've waited a while to post? Thanks so much for reading!


Neons by OPI will also be available in GelColor, marking the launch of OPI’s first neon gel shades. GelColor is a professional salon service that offers a high-shine, 100% gel finish that lasts for weeks with a 30 second LED cure.
 “If you’re planning a summer vacation, try a GelColor manicure or pedicure,” said Weiss-Fischmann.  “Not only will your neon nails look fabulous, they’ll remain chip-free and flawless while you’re having fun in the sun.”

  1. I can see why you don't like these, but at the same time I love them! The lack of bold dark colors makes this pretty unique for a tribal, and looks very fresh. :)

  2. I still really like these without black added. They look fun!

  3. I understand the feeling of not liking a manicure if it doesn't fit to the picture in one's head of how it is supposed to look. But imagine this being an easter manicure, you'd be spot on! :)
    PS: I still really like the OPI neons. I think this color combination as a watercolor manicure would be dreamily pretty.
