End of Summer

September 06, 2015

Palm trees and leave on a sunset gradient background. Fall is fast approaching despite having a horrible muggy heatwave here, this is my ode to the last days of summer of 2015.

Colours used:

Essie "Blanc"
China Glaze "Solar Power"
Orly "Va Va Voom"
Sation "Miss Emo Shun All"

Nail Venus - Summer Floral

So, I saw this image in a Japanese nail magazine called Nail Venus, and I wanted to try it out.

I think I did a fairly decent job replicating it aside from the sponging on the ring finger. It's a cute design, and I love it especially for the end of summer. The base colours I used were "Blazed" by Wet n' Wild (index and pinky fingers) and "Don't Touch My Tutu" by O.P.I(middle and ring finger). On my ring finger the colours I used were: "Pink Flamingo" by Nina Ultra Pro; "Nectar" Sally Hansen; "Blazed" by Wet n' Wild; "White" by Kleancolor; and "Solar Power" by China Glaze.

The little micro beads were a pain to get smoothly around the pearls. I need to find a better way of doing this.
