Hold onto your eyeballs! #StampingSaturday is about to get neon-ed today and it's eye searingly bright. I recently got my hands on the Cirque Colors Vice Collection and I've been impatiently waiting to use them.
I laid down a white base before doing a gradient of Cirque Colors Nympho and Vitamin D. Nympho is a neon fuschia creme and Vitamin D is a neon peach creme. I sponged on 3 coats for the desired opacity here. I'm loving these two colors together!
Of course I then had to top the gradient with Cirque Colors We Trippy the holographic topcoat for some added rainbows. I know want to run around and throw We Trippy on all the polishes!
This is the part where it went wrong guys! I just don't like the stamping that much and my black stamping polished smeared, making it worse. But I stamped on a design from MoYou London Hipster 08.
It got a little wonky, but it is what it is. Have you been playing with all things neon lately? I just can't get enough!

You might have just inspired my next gradient! I haven't tried vertical yet and the colors look so good together!!
ReplyDeleteIt was my first time trying it. I really like the results and how the color seems to blend from one nail to the next. Super fun.
DeleteShit, I LOVE that gradient. The stamping over it doesn't look bad, I like it ....but I love the gradient so much with the holo top coat.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I wish I'd stopped at the gradient. It is what it is. :-/
DeleteThat gradient is life! I love how great those shades go together.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. That is all. :-)
DeleteThat gradient is perfection. I also love the stamping, it shows off the gradient really well. Plus, I'm sure we all feel your pain on the smearing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was the first time in a long time I've had my stamping smear. I was sooo angry about it.
DeleteTh gradient turned out beautifully! I always have issues when I try to stamp really narrow, straight lines lol
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely the hardest.
DeleteThe gradient looks fantastic, but then you added the stamping, and it looks even better!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it.
Deletemmmm love that neon gradient!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It's my favorite.
DeleteYour gradients are simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteThis is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteJust when I thought this mani couldn't get any better, you go and add the stamping!!!! Just gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dani, you are too sweet!
DeleteI love the gradient, then I loved the topper with it, then I LOVE the stamping! I liked watching the process through your pics, awesome post!
ReplyDeleteOh man this gradient is amazing. And I don't think the stamping is bad. It was a great choice to let the gradient still show through and the black defines it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rei! You make me feel better about it.
DeleteBeautiful! This mani is perfection!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThese are perfect together! I love this so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm pleased with it!
DeleteLoving the gradient so much!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. It was my favorite part!
DeleteThank you! I'm trying to master this technique. I usually fail hard at gradients.
ReplyDeleteLove the gradient, and the holo topper is perfect. I love the stamping, too, even if it didn't come out perfectly the way you wanted! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I kinda wish I'd use a different image, but you know what they say about hindsight.
DeleteWow, that is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
