Happy Tuesday! I’m kind of proud of myself for getting this out somewhat timely. I promised neons for summer, and here they are! This is Color Club’s Wham! Pow! with American Apparel’s Neon Yellow.
When I planned this mani, I definitely had longer nails in mind. I’ve done a couple of gradient looks on these baby nails, and I’ve had some difficulty getting my colors evenly distributed. Also, my yellow isn’t as neon as I’d hoped for. It’s definitely more of a cool highlighter yellow. Either way, it’s bright, and so I’m happy with it. My photo here doesn’t do it justice; these are very bright, and my hands look very tan.
Wham! Pow! and other Color Club polishes are available on their website. American Apparel doesn’t sell polish anymore.
I bought these polishes myself.
Did you use a white base coat? I love how your gradient flows, even if it wasn’t exactly what you hoped for! I loved some of my American Apparel polishes back in the day but I think everyone tried to private label fast and it ended up being a disaster.
I struggle so much with gradients on my shorter nails. But I do love this look!
Stunningly bright, the gradient is perfect
This is such a pretty gradient! I love the sunrise look!
This is neon at its best. I love how you did the gradient. You sure can’t be shy when wearing these bold shades!
Great summer gradient! I bet a good glitter topper would look amazing over this too!
I love this! Gradients do seem harder on shorter nails for some reason, especially when you’ve become accustomed to longer nails.
Perfect neon summer gradient!
I love a good gradient!
I love the sunrise reference! They really go look like one.
Ooo these are fun! Super summer! I never tried American Apparel polish, but now I am totally singing the song American Apparel is in! LOL
This is such a fun summer manicure. You did a great job on the gradient.
