I am currently loooving the accent nail trend though I am well aware that I'm a little behind on it. ;)
All I did was first put a layer of top coat on my bare nails, put on 3 layers of the neon pink on top, added the light pink color on my accent finger, and topped it all off with topcoat. :)
I used the following polishes on my nails:
Here is my favorite top coat cum base coat ever! It is the Bobbie Super Fast Dry Basic Top Coat. It really does dry fast and it makes my polish last sooo much longer. It also works really well as a base coat to protect my nails from discoloration from any polish I use. Even when I don't want to wear colored nail polishes, I use this as a nice protective coat to give my nails the slightest bit of gloss -- nothing too shiny and it's very natural looking. :)
It retails for around Php 41.00 in department stores, etc.
Next up, this is the polish I used for the majority of my nails. It's the Twinkle Nail Sparkler in Neon Pink. I love how truly neon this color is! I also really like that this polish isn't goopy and yucky like how some other polishes can get after a while. It's a thin polish though, so I did have to use around 2-3 layers to get the color I wanted on my nails.
Having to put on more layers of polish is way better than applying goopy, sticky polish in my opinion, though! ;)
I also love that this polish only retails for around Php 17.75. It's mega affordable! The whole range of Twinkle nail polishes also only come in 5ml bottles. I actually prefer smaller nail polish bottles since I don't really use nail polish colors enough to actually finish a whole bottle. Think about it -- have you finished a full sized nail polish yet?
Here is a shot of the back of the bottle.
The polish that I used for my accent color was the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails polish in #220 Solid as a Rock. It's a very pretty baby pink color packed with micro glitters. It doesn't really have that chunky glittery look that other glitter polishes have. It's also really pigmented! One swipe got me the color I have on my accent finger.
I'm not sure how much this polish costs, though, since it was only given to me. I've been to SM Department stores where Sally Hansen polishes are available here in the Philippines, and I think that they are ridiculously expensive. I mean, Php 300+ for a nail polish? You have got to be kidding me.
