NOTD: Neon Graphic (Guest Post)

**While I am recovering from surgery, I have asked a few of my favourite beauty bloggers to write guest posts for Funny Face Beauty. Today's post is from Marta of Chit Chat Nails, a friend and nail enthusiast who is UBER talented when it comes to creating extravagant nail looks. I am lucky enough to have been one of Marta's 'clients' and am so excited she created a neon/graphic nail look especially for my blog. **

Hello Lovely Ladies,
I'm Marta from a little Canadian nail-art blog called ChitChat Nails. 
It is always a real treat to be invited to do a Guest Post here.  I hope this means that Alice, and you -her awesome followers/readers- enjoy my nail-art posts. 
Alicia and I both live in London Ontario and I am thankful that, because of blogging, our paths crossed and we had some opportunities to hang out together.  I admire Alicia's beauty and makeup posts, because I am totally clueless when it comes to anything makeup.  My make-up pouch, honestly, consists of 3 eye-shadows, mascara and eyeliner, blush and foundation.  That is IT! ;)
I AM clueless when it comes to makeup BUUUUUT, I do like to dabble in nail art and nail stamping.  

Today's manicure and a neon-summery ode to Alicia and her beauty/makeup blog ;)

I painted one coat of OPI "My Boyfriend Scales Walls".  Cute polish name aside, this is my FAVORITE off-white blue-grey polish.  In fact, I own two bottles because I love it sooo much.  Anything neon is so "in" this season, but neon polish can sometimes be tricky to apply because of the runny and translucent formula.  I found that one coat of white/off white as a base helps bring out the neon-ness the polish.  

I sponged on this grey to yellow gradient using two China Glaze shades: "Pelican Grey" and "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini".  I then used one of the new Bundle Monster BM-303 with black stamping polish to create a makeup-inspired accent nail.

Have you played around with accent nails lately? I love them!!! All you need is two different shades of polish that either compliment or contrast each other and you end up with a funky manicure... Not to mention, this gives you the chance to enjoy two shades at once ;)

Have you been sporting neon this summer? Do you have a favorite neon shade?

THANK YOU FOR READING!
