Neon Stripes and Black Crackle... Lisa Frank Inspired Nails

I wanted to use my new black crackle so I decided to do a Lisa Frank inspired mani. I know I have seen this type of mani somewhere before but I can't remember where. I ended up doing a short tutorial for this design.
Here is what the finished design looks like:


To do this I first painted my nails with white nail polish. I used the white polish as a base because I was using neon colors and the white base makes the neon colors pop. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White Out:

Then I took my first neon color and painted a diagonal line on my nails like so:


Then I took the second color and painted a second line like so:

I continued doing this until all of the white was covered up:

Once that was dry I put one coat of Funky Fingers Black Scales on each nail. Once that was dry and done cracking, I put on a coat of SV. 




The colors that I used were from a Claires neon set and they don't have names on them.
Hope you like these!

  6. I love the way that crackles! It's different than the OPI/China Glaze, and I'm sure it was much cheaper too! I may have to make a 5 Below trip! I also just sent you an e-mail because I am a fellow Yinzer :)
