The theme this week is neon. I originally tried a colour blocking mani but it didn’t end up looking right, so I changed to this watercolour mani. I’m glad I did, I think it turned out really nice! The pattern reminds me of the floral jeans that are starting to flood Aussie stores for spring. The base I used was …
