Twinsie Tuesday: Discontinued Polish - Easter Tiger


For today's Twinsie Tuesday, we used discontinued polishes. I don't really pay close attention to which polishes are discontinued, so I struggled a little with this one at first. 

I loved Marisa's idea of using an indie brand that has gone out of business, but went back to my original plan to use the Maybelline Bleached Neons when I was inspired by a furry rainbow notebook I have for keeping track of nail art ideas, requests, etc.


I started by free-handing thick, vertical strips of Maybelline Pink Punch, Bleached in Peach, Citrus Collide, Lime Accent, Day Glow Teal, and Ultra Violet.

Over those, I added some bold black tiger stripes with acrylic paint, and finished everything off with a matte topcoat.


The inspiration for this design:

Thanks!! :) I kept neglecting it until last night so I wanted something I could get done quick! Animal print is always a go-to for me when I need super fast and simple!
The bleached neons were so difficult for me to find, but I'm glad I got my hands on them! I love the inspiration for this mani. It's so Lisa Frank lol

Thanks!! :) It made me think Lisa Frank too! I never did find the collection myself, I ended up having to have someone send it to me!
These are so fun and bright!

I wish I had managed to find all the Bleached Neons while they were around. This looks great!

Thanks! Try Big Lots. I never found them myself but someone I'm in another group with found them for $1 each at Big Lots and sent them to me.
Your nails are even better than the original design!
