A Smidge of Citrus

Good evening everyone! Just a quick blog post before I disappear to Venice for a week with my boyfriend. I can't wait!! This is one of my 'not ready for summer to be over' designs. I used China Glaze's Flip Flop Fantsy, which I realised I haven't used all summer. I found it quite hard to paint with. The brush is thin and the polish has gone a bit funny. Still, the end result was ok.

To get this look I painted a white accent nail and the rest in neon coral. I then used a big-ish dotting tool to do a rough yellow lemon shape, as a guideline. I then painted on some leaves around the yellow circles. The final touch was to stick on lemon Fimo slices I bought from She Sells Seashalls and hand't tried yet. I stuck them on using only the matte base coat and I was impressed how long they lasted, especially as they didn't lie very flat on my nails so it was easy to ctch them on things.

So just a simple one really - one that matches my summery mood! It's a shame about the consistency of this polish as it's such a good summer colour!
Colours used: Flip Flop Fantasy - China Glaze, Alpine Snow - OPI, Key Lime - Barry M, Rimmel Matte Top Coat

  2. I like this citrus nail art. But I would also add some glitters on it ( something like http://nailartstyle.com/top-60-glitter-acrylic-nails ). I hope it wouldn't spoil the whole idea.

    1. Thank You - I think many things could be improved by a bit of glitter ;) Perhaps a gold accent nail or something on these, or a bit of glitter gradient. Some of those acrylics are gorgeous!
