Lemony Lines

Hey everyone!

Sorry it's been aaaages since I've posted. I've been so tired lately, I think it's this miserable weather and the fact that I've quit Diet Coke. (This may seem like no big deal but I was drinking 3 litres a day and nothing else!) I've been Diet Coke free for a week and a day now :)

So today I decided to cheer myself up with a nice sunny mani, here it is...

I started with a base coat of Model's Own Pro - Nail Strengthener, then I did 2 coats of Model's Own Pro - Mellow Yellow on each nail. I used a coat of Seche Vite to make it dry super quick and then started applying striping tape in different width lines. To make the thicker lines I put 2 pieces of tape right up next to each other.

Once I'd applied the tape, I went over it with a single coat of a darker yellow (unknown from a set of mini's from Marks and Spencer) and while it was still wet I peeled back the tape with a pair of tweezers.

I tidied up the edges with a bit of acetone and then topped it all off with another coat of Seche Vite. Unfortunately I got a bit of shrinkage which you can see on my index finger :(

I hope you like today's mani! I bought Nails Inc - Leather Effect in black the other day so I think my next mani with include a bit of leather!

Over and out
