Ever go beachcombing and happen upon a perfect shell? I wanted to capture that feeling in my nail art today. I started with Aly's Dream Polish Unbleached, an oatmeal-ish nude holo.
Waves lapping up on the beach were painted with Aly's Dream Polish I Dream In Aquamarine, and a glitter striper. Makes me think of the foamy bubbles made when waves gently break on the beach.
These textured gold studs made me think of sand dollars. I had a perfect sand dollar shell once that I found on a beach in Mexico when I was young. I saved it for years and years.
My husband accidentally crushed it with a can of coins.
Bottle shot: Aly's Dream Polish in Unbleached and I Dream In Aquamarine, and a Stripe Rite turquoise glitter striper.
I live about 20 minutes away from the self-proclaimed, "World's Most Famous Beach" in Daytona, but I don't go as often as I used to. Maybe it's time for a little beach getaway this summer! Do you like the beach?
Love the studs!

ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!!!! Same here, I live 5 mins away from the beach yet rarely visit. Btw, I used to collect sea shells and turn them to earrings!
ReplyDeletethat is so cool. I'm so not crafty like that! You should do a summer post showcasing your beachy earrings. What a neat talent.
DeleteThat's really nice. the studs fool the idea so that you think they're sea shells. It totally works!
