Tropical Sunset ❁

With summer here, nail art gets brighter, more unique, and overall just more creative. You can incorporate summer activities like in this nail design: the beach!

Colors you will need:
-white
-purple
-pink
-yellow
-black
-clear coat

Begin by painting all of your nails white. Make sure the polish is completely dry before moving on.

For the sky, you will be using an ombre technique, so get a make up sponge ready! Paint one line of purple followed by one line of pink. Then just dab it on your white nails!

After that has dried, you will now need a black polish to create the beach. Start by drawing a black line at the top of your nails for the water.
Then on your thumb and ring finger add a palm tree by painting a thin line and drawing short lines off of it.
On your index and pinkie fingers, try some dolphins! Make a curved line and connect it to another curved line. It should look like a banana at this point. Then make two dots at the end of its tail and then a triangle on top for a flipper as well as on the bottom.
Finally, on your middle finger add some birds! Simply do this by drawing a couple of small "m" shapes. Add a gold sun above the water with a yellow polish.

Seal with a top coat and you're done!
