Surfs Up!

With the nice weather that’s in abundance this time of year I thought it would be nice to do a beach theme. I know black polish doesn’t exactly scream beach but I though it gave the waves a nice contrast.
For this design I used the following:
-Beauty Secrets Base Coat
-China Glaze nail polish in Smoke and Ashes (Hunger Games Collection- District 12)
-Acrylic paint in Ivory, blue and teal
-Beauty Secrets Top Coat
I love the Smoke and Ashes polish because it’s not a pure black cream, when the sun hits it, its actually got some specks of green glitter in it. I thought it was a really nice compliment to the blue and teal that were incorporated into my waves.
With a small brush paint your waves, once dry use your blue and teal paint to add little accents.
Remember to seal in your design with a good top coat, this also add lots of shine to your otherwise matte acrylic paint. You’re finished!
Let me know what you think about this design and keep sending your requests to nailsbyvalentine@gmail.com.
