Hey everyone! Today I have a sweet, summery mani that I did about a month ago. Just so you know, from time to time, I will be posting manicures that are from a while ago. Just as little fun posts if what I'm wearing on my nails isn't very interesting. But now back to the nails!
For this design, I used Essie "Action" and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "White On". In these pictures, Action not as bright as it is in real life. It is a VERY bright orange, perfect for summer!

At the time, it was my first time attempting stripes...so they are squiggly, I know. I don't have proper striping tape, so I use just regular tape, and that means cutting up each strip, which can get very annoying. That is one of the reasons only the accent nail is striped.
The next picture is with artificial lighting, so please ignore my hands.
They look a little spray tanned, don't you think? I don't know if you can see the difference of the nails between the two shots, but the second one is a tad closer to the real colour of the polish. I just thought that after they were done, they reminded me of creamsicles. Yum.
Recently I have been looking on some cosmetic websites for ideas for nails, and I have discovered the
Konad Stamper. It looks like a great stamper for designing your nails, and hopefully I'll be able to purchase one soon, along with some striping tape. :)
