Tropical NOTD

I think it’s fair to say the weather this summer has been a bit rubbish in England - It started off well with June being gorgeous and then it’s steadily gone down hill!
So to cheer myself up while dismal rain clouds are looming overhead I did some fun, bright and most importantly SUMMERY nails :)
I just wanted something warm, fun and simple.
I used Barry M Yellow, Fuchia and Red and quickly did stripes of them, roughly on my nail. I applied each colour while the previous polish was wet and I got this effect!
After a few days of the tropical look I applied a thin coat of a white polish.
Once it was dry I simply took some nail polish remover and ta-da, a completely different look!

Let me know what you think of both of these looks and whether you’ll be giving either a go!

Hope you’ve enjoyed!! x
P.S I know these slightly messy looking nails aren't for everyone but I quite like them as a change from my usually neat nail art!

    @Make-up is a girls best friend, it's really not hard, just a little bit of practice & if you messy up it doesn't really matter with this look!

    @Julianne & Roxanne thanks, so glad you like this! I wasn't going to post it but decided to just do it and see what people though :)

    Thanks for commenting!! x

    @Erica that was exactly what I was thinking when I did these!

    @Joy thanks, I wasn't sure what colours to go for and in the end I just went for the warmest :)

    I think the white polish was a nice touch, it softens the look.:D
