Bright Yin Yang

Something bright and hopeful this week - a pink and green yin-yang style manicure. Balance is good.

To get this look, I used Zoya "Tangy" & "Hayden", with my silver Nubar nail art pen. Avon base/top coat, which are working very well for me.

I started with two coats of "Tangy", a lovely bright green. Then I laid my "S" curve down the length of the nail with the silver pen, very lightly (just enough to create a guide and barrier). Then I carefully painted one side of the nail with "Hayden" - 2 coats. An opposite color dot on each side, and a final pass over the curves with silver finished off the look. I sealed it with two coats top coat. I really like how it turned out, and traditional black and white would be very striking, I think (a black nail art pen for the curve delineation in that case).

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day here in the states. I guess it was also "Towel Day" and "Nerd Pride Day", according to twitter rumor - odd...

Oh I love it! Very yummy looking. It reminds me of candy....I know weird,right?! I must be craving jolly ranchers or something...lol! I do like your choice of colors. Not the usual black and white. Looks great!

I love the design. Very pretty! The colors are so sweet looking also. All I can say is "Om"/.

Interesting color combination. Very springy and nice. One of these days I may get motivated to try to start doing my nails again. Have you tried any designs using yellow polish? I think I have a bottle of the new Avon yellow polish on order.

Thanks!

I'm sure there are some yellow-based designs here, Mom - I'd have to search for them though. Guess I should use color tags on my posts as well, eh?
