Neon Citrus Nail Art with Garden Path Lacquers

 Press Sample

 Hey all! A million years ago (or two months), I posted the Garden Path Lacquer Summer Neons! This collection was citrus-inspired so I knew I wanted to do some citrus art. I won't lie, I hated this nail art and took it off an hour later. But I always was to share my nail art successes and fails. I don't know why, but I just hated it on. Now that I look at photos, not bad! LOL.

I love fruit print. What is not to like? I'm like forever on the hunt for a perfect lemon print dress? So when I saw this collection from Garden Path, I knew I wanted to do something citrusy.

 

I used a base of Jessica Cosmetics Moose Milk, because I wanted a softer white/beige base vs. a harsh white-out white. 

• Orange: Vitamin C
  
• Yellow: Sourpuss
  
• Green: Limelight
  

For my outer nails, I used a makeup sponge and did a gradient of Vitamin C and Sourpuss. I put oranges and lemons on my inner nails and added Limelight as leaves.

I feel like my intention was good, but when I looked at this, I was just not happy at all. Looking back, it's not so bad. What do you think? Is this a fail?

 

Here it is with top coat, which is how I originally planned to wear it. Not sure which I prefer.
