Neon Matte Madness!

Hi friends! I've been sick as balls for the last few days…which has meant Hannibal and nail art! Have you guys been watching that show? It's REALLY good. Mads Mikkelsen, get in my bed. You can bring Hugh Dancy too. *AHEM* Sorry, the cough syrup is getting to me.

For this design, I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I just knew I wanted something loud. Mission accomplished!
 Started with a yellow base, I then sponged randomly with blue, green and orange. Pink stripes in the remaining yellow patches. Then added black chunks. Then dots. I'm sure I could have kept going but it's probably good that I stopped there.
On my left middle finger, the topcoat caused some drag - which I thought looked really cool! The rest of my fingers had dried quite well, though, so this was only cool smudgey one.
I would normally never show you a picture of my thumb, because my thumb cuticles are always so gross. But this looks so rad.

    I'm kinda in love with this. The pattern should be made into a bodysuit.

    Also when this post popped up on blogger just now my first thought after seeing it was by Varnished Valkyrie was "Are those my hands?".

      Holy crap, that would be so sweet. Everything ever should be a bodysuit, obviously.

      Yup...you're white now. Sorry, I should have told you when I first noticed. I didn't know how to break it to you. I felt like you should hear it from a medical professional.

    Looks like the kind of shirt pattern you would see on a dude in the 1980s. I LOVE it!! :D

    This is cool. It reminds me of the gym suits they wore in the 80's!
    And the fact that you like Mads Mikkelsen made me giggle! :)

    I ADORE this! It reminds me of an old UB40 album cover my mom has! It's very old school!
    No don't watch Hannibal at all but I hear lots of people raving about it. I should check it out... But I'm so lazy *sigh*

    I love the sponging! What kind of sponge did you use?

      A little triangular makeup sponge. I always end up cutting off the parts of the sponge covered in polish so I can use them until they're gone!
