26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Yellow and 1 bold colour

This week's prompt was Yellow and 1 bold colour. For my bold colour I went with the lovely stamping polish that Messy Mansion sent me recently, Amalfi Coast. This is a bright tealy blue although over such a powerful yellow it does look rather green. I don't think that matters, it's still bold.
The base colour is one of the new neons by 'Ard as Nails. I am not really a neon sort of a person but it's nice to have a full range of colours at my disposal and I have to say Oi Blondie seriously is a great yellow!! I am unlikely to wear it on its own but it's a perfect base for stamping.
I wanted both colours to be fairly equal on my nails so I chose a fairly solid image from Dixie Plates DP10. I didn't want the yellow to stand out too much but I didn't want to swamp it. I think the balance is about right although I subsequently stamped over it with white and black. It was still bright, but much more wearable for me!
As usual I took a million photos, but I think in the end the green background worked better than the reddish purple bush that I usually favour for my photos.

26 Great Nail Art Idea - Green Freestyle

This week's prompt is Green Freestyle, which I take to mean green and whatever I fancy.
I love green nails. I think blue is my favourite colour but I love so many greens that it's a close run thing and actually I think there is a wider range of green polishes.
Anyway, I started with a gel base of Gellifique One Step 6022, a bright lime green.
Then I stamped blossoms from Dixie plate DP10 with Hit the Bottle Absinthe Minded and then I added larger bolder flowers with A England Saint George. They are quite bright and in some lights the base looks almost yellow but I was really pleased with how these turned out. Although there are no other colours I think they just look so Spring like!
