Here are some neon flowers I did last winter--

Do you match your nails to the season, or do whatever you feel like?

I feel like winter is when I most need bright nails!

Hello! Oh I'm sorry I did not see your post earlier. I don't think it federated to my instance until just recently.

These are great! The colours are so vibrant! I find it difficult to find orange and yellow polish that doesn't end up kinda transparent and streaky. I've had some success using a sponge to apply several layers, but the colour was still lacking. Did you apply a layer of white first to make the colours pop like that? And what brand is the polish?

I also often try to match my nails to the season, event, or holiday ... Here's one I did for Valentines Day:

Hello! The great thing about the small communities is that even if you're gone for a bit it's easy to catch up on everything that's happened lol

Yes I started with a layer of white under everything, that's the only way I've found to really get a neon to be neon. I think the yellow and the purple are both Orly, I'm away from home for the week but will check for the shade names when I get back. I really like both but they do require a couple coats.
