Raspberries Over a Sponged Yellow Base Featuring Girly Bits These Hips Don't Lie!

Hey everyone! Today I have some fun raspberry nails to share!

This post will be a bit of a quick one because I think I'll try and get a few more written while the motivation is flowing! I did this look a little over three weeks ago, so naturally my nails are crazy long now. I'm at the point that I feel they're too long but too lazy to cut and file them. That means I'll be doing a big chop pretty soon! :P

Onto the nails!

To start, I applied two coats of Cirque Carpe Diem (a white creme) and allowed it to dry. I then painted random blobs of Girly Bits These Hips Don't Lie (yellow) and American Apparel Neon Orange (yellow-orange) onto a damp sponge and got to sponging!

After a while, I decided what I wanted to do and went in with a dotting tool and Essie Plumbery. Next, I went in with the same dotting tool and Deborah Lippmann Jessa for the darker (inner) raspberry colour.

I then decided to try a Kiko polish I picked up in Germany last summer for the leaves and stem. I used a small detail brush and Kiko Meadow Green!

At first I thought the two different yellows of the base weren't showing up in pictures but I'm glad to see they kind of did!

What do you guys think of this look or yellow nails in general? I'm really loving yellow lately and I have another look featuring yellow that I'll be posting soon!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with a third go at the MrCandiipants spring floral design (on myself; I've done it several times on others as well)! Happy Tuesday guys! =)
