Neon Stripes on Black

 I was inspired recently by watching yet another youtube tutorial, to try using neon colors on a black background.

I had been wondering what to do with my neon colored polishes ever since my husband had chosen them for me in a random purchase last year. Someone I was watching had used neon colors on a dark background and they looked really good.

I decided that I would try using my neon's to do something fun too.

To do this really EASY but eye-catching design you will need:

1 black polish,
1 white polish
Neon polishes (you choose how many)
A stripper brush/ thin brush/ dotting tool/ toothpick

To achieve the design:

Paint all your nails black.
Using the tool of your choice, make lines on the black with your white polish.
After cleaning your tool, use your neon colors to go over the white polish designs on your nail.
Seal with a top-coat of your choice.

I got a lot of comments from people on this design while I was wearing it. They said it was fun, pretty and bright.

This was a really easy nail-art design to do too.

Honestly, if you don't have brushes or dotting tools, you can do a number of things.
 1) use a tooth-pick or a pencil or a pen that no longer writes, dip it into polish, and let it set, dip again, and let it set, and dip it a 3rd time and use it to do your design.
2) Take a clear nail-polish brush, or a brush from an empty polish bottle, trim off some of the bristles on the brush. Fill the polish bottle (an empty one of course) with some nail polish remover, and then put the trimmed brush back into the bottle. Now you have a stripper brush, and you can use it with any color, and replace it into the remover between colors to clean it.
3) look around your house for something you can repurpose for your needs... a bobby-pin? an old paint-brush? a toothbrush? Anything... use your imagination.
