miss sporty - clubbing colours: orange crush and taxi

i have to admit, this isn't the first time i've used the bright yellow 'taxi' by miss sporty. i painted my nails the other day but really wasn't a massive fan. the outcome was messy and streaky - all in all a bad nail day! i wanted to give it another go though so decided to do some quick and easy nail art on top of 'orange crush' that i painted my nails with yesterday, and here's the finished product!

overall i'm pleased with the result. it's a lot brighter than the pictures look (i blame the bad lighting!) and i think the colours work well together to create quite a dramatic nail art look. i used masking tape to cover the base colour because i think it's less sticky than other sorts of tapes so is less likely to pull off the base coat. i had to use two coats of the yellow to get full coverage though which made it quite thick and so the result wasn't as clean as i would have liked when i pulled off the masking tape. still, i'd try it again for a relatively easy but different look, maybe next time with pastel colours... any suggestions?

miss sporty - clubbing colours: orange crush

apologies for these pictures... all of them look like i've photographed a different nail varnish!
 
i picked up this miss sporty 'clubbing colour' the other day in superdrug because they had an offer on for two for £3. the range of colours are really bright and some are different colours to what i would usually wear (look out for my yellow nail varnish review coming soon!) i do think the idea of 'clubbing colours' is a bit 90's but i'm willing to look past that!

orange crush is a neon pink with a touch of orange. it looks a lot pinker than the photos show so it's worth having a look in store if you want to try it out. it applies quite streaky, even after two coats, but the colour is really bright and it dried pretty quickly. i think it looks good on shorter nails but the fact that it's a bit streaky means that it probably won't be great for any detailed nail art which is a shame.

all in all, a nice colour for the summer and worth the £1.50, but definitely not the best quality nail varnish overall!
