Pastel Neon Mani with The Wanderlust Collection from Birchbox + Color Club

This weekend I was inspired by a nail tutorial by Keiko Lynn that I pinned to my Nail Inspiration board on Pinterest. I decided to use the pastel neon shades from The Wanderlust Collection from Birchbox and Color Club. This set of 4 minis are exclusive colors custom blended by the Birchbox editors. Neon shades were mixed with a white base to create “pastel neons” which are pale yet bright. The four shades: Mod in Manhattan: brilliant off-white; London Calling: sunny green; Reign in Spain: fiery coral; Pardon My French: charming purple.

Step 1: I applied two coats of Mod in Manhattan (such a cool white!) on all nails:

I waited several minutes making sure my white base was dry.

Step 2: I applied one swipe of London Calling across one side of four nails and one coat of Reign in Spain across the accent nail:

Step 3: I applied two coats of Reign in Spain accross the other side of four nails and two coats of Pardon My French across the other side of the accent nail:

I cleaned up any polish from my cuticles and waited about 20 minutes to make sure all the polish was dry before adding top coat. After all my careful work I simply did not want to risk smearing my polish!

I have to say that I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of my interpretation of this mani! The Wanderlust Collection could not have been more perfect for this design. These colors are outstanding and I love the quality. I had zero issues with application and the final result is now my all-time favorite manicure! Birchbox Shop, $8.00
