Before & After: Citrus Beach

(Products in this post were all purchased by me.)

Hello!

Oh yes, summer is holding on strong here...it hovered around 90 degrees both yesterday and today. And there's not much relief coming any time soon.

So, what else can I do but show you one of the summeriest summer manicures I've ever made? That's right, you've been warned--you're about to be hit by the brightest, citrusiest, beach-blanketiest manicure you've ever seen in your life. I've been saving it for just such an occasion. :)

I started with a base of Revlon Beach, a really unusual shade of greenish-yellow (yellowish-green) with a metallic finish:



Revlon Beach, indirect sunliht, two coats

Revlon Beach, direct sunlight, two coats



Then I added a coat of Lush Lacquer Sizzling Hot, and then stamped a large citrust pattern over it all with Konad White and Bundle Monster BM 308:





Yeah, baby! Tell me that isn't beach-blanket-citrus-licious! No, I don't know what that means, either! But it definitely makes a statement. :)

I hope you're enjoying your dog days of summer, and thanks for taking a look! Hugs and love,
M.

  2. It looks really sixties to me, no idea why! I love what you did with the stamping, I'd never think of that. The yellow isn't a colour I'd normally go for but I love how different & fun this mani is!
