Neon, to fight the gloom

Hi everyone~ :) All last week was filled with rain, rain and more rain over here so I thought I'd fight the gloominess with a bright neon manicure :P.

I used two coats of Sportsgirl Citrus and as with all neons it was sheer, so I started off with one coat of Ulta3 lily white before layering Citrus over it. I applied a coat of OPI Black shatter to soften the brightness a bit ^^
orange cracked

Apologies for the lobster fingers but this was the only photo which showed the true shade of the polish. Personally I'm a bit too afraid of drawing attention to neon shades on my tips so I think shatter/crackle polishes are awesome for layering over them :). What do you think?

    LOVE IT! So bold and pretty~ I actually haven't used my black shatter in a while...maybe my next mani I'll try to combine it with a neon polish too. :]

    I feel more self-conscious with black! I'm perfectly happy with wearing bright neons though ;)

    Aww, thanks Tiff! Black Shatter is awesome for covering up polishes I feel more self conscious wearing :P I'd love to see you wear yours too!
