Summer Neon Ruffian

This week's challenge was a ruffian manicure. 
I kind of like this type of mani. It's easy to do and allows you to show off 2 polishes at once!
They can be a little plain though...

Since I have been in need of summer color, I decided to pair this challenge with some bright neon polishes. I'm getting to that point where wearing neon nail polish makes me feel like a kid :( So it seemed like the ruffian manicure was the best way to wear them without having them be too loud

The best way to get a great looking ruffian is with french manicure guide. You just place them at the base of your nail instead of the tip!
Unfortunately I never have french guides, so these were freehanded.

  1. I love it - cool way to wear bright colors. I agree that it's more wearable this way. P.S. I've had super bad lagging when I try to load your blog the past few days ...
