Orange Neon Ombre Stripes with Orly Nail Polish

Nothing to Disclose 

I have actually wanted to do something with these three nail polishes FOREVER! I've used each polish individually but I always looked at them as the perfect ombre/gradient. I love Orly nail polish and their Baked 2014 collection was almost perfection to me (and I've used two colors from that collection). Here was my solution to my orange neon predicament.

 I started with a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff, which is a perfect neutral base. I used it because I actually ran out of My Boyfriend Scales Wall (yes I finished a bottle) and Vampire is Buff is less harsh. 

Then starting from the cuticle, I did random horizontal stripes with a striping brush in the lightest color, Orly Tropical Pop. This is a yellow-orange creme neon polish. You can see that it's eye-searing.

Next I used Orly Mayhem Mentality, which is a straight orange creme neon. I wore this alone once and I was blinded! Last, I used Orly Ablaze toward the tip of my nail. Ablaze is a darker orange neon that has a beautiful golden shimmer. I just love this easy "gradient" look!

 In the shade, you can see how crazy bright these colors are!

Now I want to do this with all my neons in similar color ranges. So easy!

    1. Yes! I see myself doing a lot more of these this summer since I don't love full blown neon manis on me
