I Did It My Waaaaay!

And it's chevron time again. And again I've had to do it my way, for I still haven't found what I'm looking for (going to sing this all evening now :)).

Chevron steel scissors are nowhere to be bought in Lisbon and I feel like cursing every arts & crafts store I enter. You see, they only have the ones made for kiddies, the plastic ones, which don't do the job at all!

Anyway, I did it freehand and that's that! More points for myself and boo-hoos for the stores around! ;)

I started with the most lovely yellow neon background, which I showed you on Facebook yesterday. 
Really, if you're not following me already, well... you should ;)

Check it out:

I wish I could say I've been able to rock these but here's the thing and why I sometimes hate topcoating my manis - it smeaaaaaaaared! Look at that! :(

I mean, had it been an altogether thing I could have probably gotten away with an ikat-ish look, but not even that :(

Oh well... I started with one coat of white - OPI Alpine Snow - and one coat of Dermacélsia Fluor Effect Yellow.

Then I took my red and black stripers and cheated the chevron pattern :)

I used Kiss SPA12 Black and Golden Rose Nail Art No.117 for the chevron.

And I left an only child nail - hehehe - which I covered with Nails Inc. Feathers Brighton.

BF wasn't much of a fan of this one - he said the colours were too contrasting and they didn't look good together ... mmmmm.... I think he just doesn't like neons ;(

What do you think? Too bam-in-your-face or fun and bright?

Let me know what you think with a your comment below and  have an awesome Friday evening for a great weekend kick off :D

Hugs & Kissies,
