Sponged Raibow Konad Nails


If anyone was wondering... this is what I imagine unicorns would have manicured on their fingers. Why? Because it seems so magical and awesome. Anyway this wasn't a hard look to pull off. I started with a typical base coat, then a coat of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. The coat of white doesn't have to look perfectly beautiful mainly because 1) It will be covered in other colors and 2) No one is going to go up to your nails and be like "You know what, I can't finely appreciate your manicure because that coat of white you put on went on a bit streaky." Life, thankfully, doesn't happen like that. and 3) the white is just to make the colors show up brighter.
For this manicure I used a cosmetic sponge (found most places where they sell beauty products, in my case I freakin found one right in our junk drawer!), I used Sinful Colors Neon Melon and Dream on and Sally Hansen Blue Me away. In order to achieve this look of sunshineawesomeneonrainbowhappyuniorn, in the corner of the cosmetic sponge I painted some neon yellow polish, then right next to it (barely overlapping the yellow), I painted some blue polish, then slightly overlapping the blue, I painted some neon purple. This does not need to take up the width of the whole sponge. I find it only needs to span the width of your largest finger.
After I had painted the colors on the cosmetic sponge I just sponged them onto my nail starting at the cuticle of my nail and working forward in a line to the tip of my nail. You may need to go over spots you may have missed, and you will need to repaint the colors on frequently whether it's after every nail or a couple times a nail.
After I had finished sponging my nails, I took Konad plate m57 and the special Konad white polish and stamped each one! Since the sponging makes the colors almost matte, or dull, I applied a top coat of Out The Door and BAM, even the unicorns were jealous.
