Citrus Stripes

Today, I've put my scotch tape roll to good use again and have some "nudies" and some diagonal citrusy stripes for you.
Very rarely will you see a glimpse of my natural nails! Too much polish all the time means they are usually very stained and I don't often bother to scrub the staining away when I'm just going to be using more polish that stains the next day! However, I've been trying some very light and soft colours lately so I grabbed some lemon juice and baking soda and got scrubbing and buffing.

The base colour is in fact no colour at all, it's just base coat and for the stripes I used Barry M Lemon Ice Cream and Essence Wake Up, sent to me by the lovely Nihrida.

    This is excellent! What a nice idea, I'm definitely going to make myself this mani. Only if my nails were longer.... Thanks for sharing!

    Gorgeous! A subtle bright summer mani :) You know, I had "Wake me Up" in my hands many times but each time I thought it wouldn't look good on me. But next time I'm definitely picking it up, you made it look amazing!

    I am really liking the designs I have seen using a natural nail base with tips/designs applied to those.

    Very brave to show nude nails! Mine are horribly stained and no amount of trying will fix them! This is really a cool mani!
