A bit too much neon?

Hey everyone! I'm finally back with my own nails, have you missed me? This design is very similar to this one I did previously but is a lot more neon. I received these studs from Born Pretty Store to review and this nail art pen from Models Own and knew instantly that they had to go together! 

I chose to apply the studs using dotting tools from MASH, which can be found here, by applying an extra coat of OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls and before it was dry placing the studs on. I love these studs, as you can see from the awful quality of the pictures my camera had a hard time picking up the neon on these because they're super bright, and they're also a great size. Remember you can use my code KHL91 to get 10% off these too!

Next, I used the nail art pen to draw random swirls all over the rest of my nails, I started on my thumb and as I'd never used them before it went a bit thicker, but I quickly picked up how to use them and the rest of the nails were easy to control, I definitely preferred doing this design with a pen rather than a brush due to the control, and it's really opaque (and again, super neon!)

  5. NEVER TOO MUCH NEON. I love them! I still have a WAH pen sitting on my table which I've never really used...maybe I should give it a go.

  9. I can just repeat the sentiments of the commenters above me, and add to that that I donćt think I could do a full mani like this - my right hand would end up looking like who knows what :D .

  14. Your manicure is lovely. I shy away from neon colours but this mani would definitely persuade me to try something a bit different with a neon colour or two.
