For someone who loves neons, colors and brights it is a surprise I have so much trouble with rainbow prompts. As you know, I am not a fan of the traditional rainbow scheme but it is the only inspiration that comes to mind. Many people did lovely sugar-spins and gradients and everything else I could think of so I was at a loss. Of course, it isn’t a problem to do the same thing as other people and it is bound to happen during a daily challenge but who wants to look at the same thing multiple times?

I was literally sitting on the floor at 8pm staring at my nail polishes and other art tools and my brain shut off. I had no idea what to do. I turned around and put away my new shoelaces which had just come in from Converse when it hit me. Inspiration from my shoelaces (You’ll see what I mean below!) Not exactly “rainbow” but it will do for being totally stuck on a prompt for two days!

I hope you like it! Apologies on the sub-par photograph. I could not get my camera to focus on both the shoelace and nails, I tried to choose one that sort of showed both. In retrospect, I should have chosen the nails over the laces. Oh well, lessons for next time!

 

I used 2 coat of Wet n Wild Black Creme.

I dotted with Color Club Poptastic, Wham! Pow!, Almost Famous, Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot and Revlon Gel Envy High Stakes. I was thrilled to find I had the exact nail polish matches for each color on the laces. The teal photographed bright on the laces but please take my word for it, they are matches!
