Artsy Wednesday: Neon!

I thought neon was a great theme to use for the last week of summer, and I was inspired to make a farewell-to-summer manicure of neon watermelons!

Now, neon is notoriously hard to photograph, so you'll just have to trust me that my nails are BRIGHT.  I used Zoya Ali for the watermelon flesh, then used OPI Gargantuan Green Grape for the whitish part of the rind, Savina Green Apple for the light green and Milani Neon in Fresh Teal for the dark green (I have no idea how a dark-ish turquoise is neon, but it says so on the bottle so who am I to argue?)  


I had an awful lot of fun with this, and am especially proud that I did both hands.  I got a pedicure today and even the pedicure technician complimented me!
I'm really honored to be able to participate in Artsy Wednesday, and you should all DEFINITELY check out these other, very talented Artsy Wednesday participants.
