The Leopard Gecko Manicure (Milani- Totally '80s)

Normally, I do not create nail art I am proud enough of to title an entire post with. Today, however, I feel I've created something unique enough to do this with. I was at a lecture yesterday, and one of the animals the guest speaker used in his study of reproductive behavior was this guy. Wild Leopard Geckos are only white and pale yellow with a variety of sizes of black spots.
The pale yellow I used was Milani Neon in Totally '80s. The color is a highlighter yellow-green, but is not so bright as to be garish on the nail. However, unlike my Kleancolor neons, this one definitely requires a white base, otherwise it will not be opaque. It's pretty subtle, and a good "my first crazy neon" polish.
To make this nail art, I first painted my nails with a basecoat, then painted them white. After the white dried, I got a wedge-shaped cosmetic sponge and sponged a little Totally '80s onto either the top or bottom third of the nail. When that dries, use a black nail polish to create large spots and a nail art pen or dotting tool to create smaller spots in the negative space. Finish with a topcoat, but wait for the design to dry, otherwise you will smear the black into the white.
