I have been on a bit of a neon bender lately. First there was this post featuring my favorite fluorescent color and this post showing how to decorate with these bright hues for a fun fiesta then I was shopping yesterday and picked up these sandals and this pair of denim to add some color into my wardrobe. Finally, I end my neon spree with a little DIY. While I was doing some grocery shopping spotted the most adorable cacti in my local Whole Foods and knew I needed to do something easy but fun with them and their natural colors led me right back into the world of neon.
All supplies purchased at Michaels for $10. Cacti were $5 each at Whole Foods.
pick a trio of colors you love, I selected three that coordinated with the colorful cacti

tape out the area you want to paint neon
{I ran out of painters tape & had to use duct tape}
spray paint the exposed area white to help make the neon really pop
paint the dried white areas your neon colors and let dry

as you can see mine didn't come out as straight lined as they should have be - damn masking tape but I sorta dig the less perfect look!

Have a great day!
