Today's challenge was artwork featuring your favorite polishes. I have been sitting at my nail desk staring at OPI Black Spotted and have been pining to use it with neons, so I seized the opportunity. I don't know if Spotted actually counts as nail art but if you don't own a bottle, you could use the method that's similar to water marbling and that's art, so..... I used Orly: VaVa Voom (pink), Glowstick (yellow), Skinny Dip (blue). As I do with all neons, I put down a single base of white first, then I took each color and kind of dabbed it on in various sizes and spaces. I then top coated with Black Spotted. I wish I would have taken pictures before I added Spotted but, the concept is pretty easy, I'm sure you understand it. I like the way it looks. It needs super thin coats and mine were a bit thick so I wiped my brush and went back over spotted to thin it out... turns out it cracked. hmm. I'm still a sucker for neons under a black special effects top coat. Below, it's with flash...

OPI: Black Spotted Over Neons!
I'm obsessed with OPI Spotted! I'm still learning to work with it but here is a neon skittle mani that I did with it. I started off with a white base coat then used China Glaze Kiwi Cool-ada and Nubar Hot Fuchsia as an accent color. I then let it dry (no top coat) and did super thin passes with the Spotted. I honestly didn't think I had that much on the brush but it kept going and going and going. I have no idea how this polish works but I'm a whole lot of loving it. My favorite is my accent finger but you can get so many different variations, more so than with Shatter. What do you think?
