Romantic Summer Beach Scenery

Hi Everyone,

Here my mani and pedi I did before the weekend. I wanted to do another summer beach scenery. I always love doing that and especially with bright neon colors.

Base a gradient sponged over white using China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, China Glaze That's Shore Bright, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy and China Glaze Sun Worshiper. And added a subtle spectraflair topcoat on top for the holo sparkle.  Palm trees are from Nailways Vive la Vie- Beach baby, little dolphin, waves, boat, lighthouse from Moyou Sailor 01, big dolphin and birds from Stampaholics ST01, part of plam tree leaf from H10, love couple from Messy Mansion MM03. And a little freehand.

And ofcourse a matching pedi.

Toes no white base just sponged without the orange color and on the rest of my toes only Flip Flop fantasy. The love couple is made with parts from Moyou Mother Nature 01.

And here my other foot.

And a picture of the gradient base.

I was really happy with this mani and still have it on my nails :)

Thanks for reading!

Dolphin Sunset nails

Hi everyone who reads this :)

The weather here in Holland is finally really like Summer and I loveeeee warm sunny weather. So I just had to make summer nails (again). And love how they turned out. I was inspired by a wooden painted dolphin statue, you can see it on the pictures below.

Everything is stamped even the little islands ;) only the blue/white waves aren't stamped.

A white P2 base, sponged with China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, OPI I Need Sunglasses, Essence 01 BBC Pink Heat, OPI Purple with a Purpose and China Glaze Beach Cruise-R. Added China Glaze Wireless Holographic topcoat on top. Stamped with HB46 (parts of shells for the islands),  BM315, BM320, H10, H18, M29 and S2. The white/blue waves are made with a small brush.

I love making summer nails especially sunset summer nails on the beach with palm trees :) I also plan on entering these nails in the summer contest of Nails and Stuff.

I make something like this every year you may remember these from 2010 Romantic Sunset and 2011 Romantic Night at the Beach..

but with those 2 I also used selfmade water decals..this year it is a all stamping mani :)

 Different light.

Without flash under artificial light.

Here you can see my inspiration :)

Also made matching toes again, stamped with BM315, M29 and GCOCL A02.

Again my hand with my inspiration in the background :)

Enjoy the weekend! I know I will with this lovely sunny hot weather :)

We also are going to celebrate my dads birthday...first one without my mom :( Last year even though she was really sick she/we organized a surprise party for him because he turned 60. She also said I wanna celebrate it because it might be our last B-day together :( I soo miss her and know my Dad misses her too.

Thank for reading I am really happy with the way my nails turned out. Just by looking at them it makes me smile and I imagine I am at this beautiful beach.

Sea nails on P2 Deep Water Love ♥

Some of you will remember my Under the Sea nails that I made last year, this year I also really wanted to make sea nails again :) So I did. I want to cut my nails but left them long for this creation :) Long means more room for fishies ;)

P2 currently has a LE called Deep Water Love, there are 4 gorgeous nail polish colors, a dark purple, a light pink, a sea blue and a green turquoise. I got the last 2 from my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago, the pink one was sold out and I thought the purple was something I already have. The green one called 020 Green Lagoon I used as a base for this.

Base P2 Who Cares? and P2 LE Deep Water Love 020 Green Lagoon (this is really sheer so I needed something underneath it)  It's a bit more greener in real life see the swatch and photo without flash. It's a color that my camera really couldn't capture the right way.

What did I used for this:

Polishes for stamping and coloring: Konad PSN blue pearl, PSN jungle green, SN black pearl, SN royal blue, SN green, SN brown, SN pastel blue, SN white, SN red, SN yellow. Colorama Artística Azul royal and Verde palmeira. Konad silver glitter striper. CG Sun Worshipper and Nfu Oh 65. Stripers from Flormar NA08, NA04 and NA02.

Imageplates: Konad M21, M27, M34, M35 and H29, H20, H19, H10 and HB16, HB46 and GCOCL B01, and Essence plates and BM12.

I'm no star in coloring the images, but I'm happy with the result, from a distance people can't see I colored outside the lines a bit ;)

Photo without flash, here you can see the base color better.

With flash under artificial light.

With flash.

Ofcourse I also wanted to make some sort of matching toes again :)

On my toes just some bubbles and on my big toe also some fishes.

Here a swatch of P2 Deep Water love 020 Green Lagoon (over P2 Who Cares?)

Like I said this really is a difficult color so I only have one photo, on this the color is most accurate.

I just love summer and sea nails ♥

Have a nice weekend!
