This is the manicure that had me hanging out of a window (quite precariously I might add!) first thing on Sunday morning in order to get a good photo for you. Don't say I don't treat you right.
Onto the actual nails ...
They feature a soft blue base with a criss-cross of a nude and darker blue on to. The two blue colours were actually featured on my Spring Nails Post so I think that this makes them perfect for easing yourself into spring.
I achieved them by painting my nails with the Turquoise colour first, then swiped over the Fudge and then Airplane colours over the top, leaving each nail to dry for enough time in between each coat. I finished off with a coat of Barry M's topcoat, which I love for its super glossy and nail hardening properties.
Hope you like these nails with a nod towards the S/S trends!
Tell me if you recreate them!
