Manicure Stripes

I tend to go for brights in summer but this year I’m just loving pale shades. And I’ve been wearing a simple manicure nearly every day (great tutorial on how to do your own manicure here)
But sometimes a simple manicure can get a little boring so this is one look I’ve been wearing when I want something a little prettier but nothing complicated!

I applied a coat of models own buff pink(this is a a very sheer milky pink perfect for manicures)
Then I just applied different coloured stripes to the top of the nail.
(I used white, Gold and Peach melba from barry m)

This is another simple look that I seem to be doing constantly on my nails :)
What do you think?
Hope you’ve enjoyed!! x

Hey Rachel! Wow, that's such a pretty shade of pink! So lovely! I thought I love tall guys too but I wouldn't mind if they're a little short, as long as they're not a midget short, haha.. xoxoxoo

@Bree it's just practice - when I first did stripes they were terrible and all over the place, now I can do them really easily :)

Bonnie said...

I could not agree more --- You have to mix it up once in a while. Doing the same thing is so boring!!!
The nails look magnificent! I might be stealing this from you.
