Tropical Turquoise

Sunday, July 18, 2010
Hi everyone! Once in a while I like to create nail art I'd never wear or that looks really difficult to me. Linda showed me a nail magazine that has some pretty nice tutorials and I decided to make the Tropical Turquoise one yesterday evening. You can find the tutorial here. Now, I know it's in Dutch but they've created a very clear and easy to follow movie so it doesn't matter which language you speak.

The result of my creativeness (and boredom) last night:

Nail Art Design Essence Stripers Black Silver Dottingtool Charlotte Russe Essie Silver Bullions China Glaze Towel Boy Toy

You can click the pictures for an enlargement. I think it came out pretty nice. My nails are a little too short so I had to fill them up more than I'd like but it looks fun and I think I'll create a little bit more of these kind of designs. It's really fun to do!
Polishes
I started off using China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, topped that with the nameless green of Charlotte Russe and Essie Silver Bullions on top of those two. I've used the Essence stripers for the flowers. For a finishing touch I've used the aqua and AB coloured rhinestones from Dollar Nail Art.

Would you consider creating a design like this yourself or would you rather have someone else doing this for you? Why?

Have a nice day and see you later!

I'm not usually a fan of nail art, but I like that! And I think your nails are the perfect length for something like this, as it looks much fresher than longer nails would :)

Hi Michelle:

I love that nail art design on your fingernails, probably would like someone to try and do that on my toenails, LOL that would be really wild and crazy and I would not be able to take my eyes off of it, LOL.

I really love the colors and how they blend together, and your nails are so gorgoeus, I bet you get hundreds of compliments when you did this, it looks amazing!. Great swatches! Nameste!

I love that design! I would definitely be willing to do this myself, but I have a feeling it would take some practice.
This is awesome, wonderful job!

Deze vind ik echt heel mooi, misschien wel je mooiste!
So weird. I was just searching for information about this stuff and you popped up. You must be doing something right. Thanks by the way, this really answered some questions I was throwing around in the back of my mind.
