Glowing Acid Wash Nails

I thought I'd have a go at an acid wash design adding some funk with neon polishes and totally rad glow in the dark awesomeness! I saw this cool effect in a MissJenFABULOUS Tutorial and loved the 80s style of the manicure.

I used the awesome Born Pretty Store Candy Colors Luminous polish layered over Color club Jackie Oh! to get a juicy coral/hot pink shade and Sally Hansen White On for the white layer. And I switched it up for a reverse accent nail for extra fun! My boyfriend says they look like candy and now I want to eat them! xp
 

I totally recommend the Born Pretty Store glowing polishes so check them out here! And I have a code for 10% off at Born Pretty so just type in "MIHW10" at checkout on any order!
