Lisa Frank Inspired Unicorn Rainbow Nail Art

Born in the 1980s, my sister and I were ALL about Lisa Frank. If you don't know who that is, she is my childhood. We would walk around school with our sticker books trading different neon rainbow goodness and it was just awesome. Simply google "Lisa Frank" and your screen will vomit rainbows and unicorns and neon-tinted puppies.

Starting with a base of two coats of Illamasqua Noble, I used a bright but not distracting base for the nail art. I could have stopped at one coat, but went with two out of habit. Using a variety of neon nail polishes, I took my biggest dotting tool and created random dots, some overlapping each other and some going over the tip of my nails. There is no rhyme or reason to this; anyone can do these bubbles. The more random they look, the better. Then with a plain white creme and my thinnest striping brush, I did an outline of the bubble.

Then I created my unicorn using a white, black, and grey creme. I used China Glaze Pink Plumeria mixed with white for the ears and nose. Her horn and mane match the neon bubbles on the surrounding fingers. She reminds me of the colors and unicorns Lisa Frank used to create. Make sure to enlarge the pictures to see more of the detail.

I love being inspired by items from my childhood. It makes for more personal nail art and I usually love the outcome much more.
