Day 8 (July 15th) of the Summer Challenge is Beach. I was going to do a traditional sunset mani using inspiration from our last vacation...but when looking through my photos, I found one that inspired me to go in a whole different direction. When I think Beach, I think of sand, so I decided to try to make my nails look like a sandy beach with some rocks...I went a little abstract on this one. Here is the result.
I started out with the closest color I have to sand, which is Shu Uemura Coquetttish Brown. Then I decided it wasn't quite right, so I sponged on some gold using Avon Nailwear Pro in Glimmering Gold. After that, I tried to make some 'rocks' using a my dotting tools. For this, I used Pure Ice in Kiss Me Here, Julep Kate, Townley in Mocha Chino, and the brown is from Finger Paints. Here is the photo I used for inspiration.
