Tropical Paradise

It has been so hot here recently and I just had to do a tropical themed nail art. 

I apologize about my terrible cuticles! They are just getting worse and worse!

For the gradient I used BarryM's Lemon Ice Cream as a base. I then used a makeup sponge and Essie's Fear and Desire and Orange it Obvious to create the fade.

I used Kleancolors Holo Poppy for the glitter. 

The Palm tree is painted using acrylic paint.

I hope you are all having a lovely hot week!

Trees Against a Sunset Nail Art

Its been hot here recently, I decided to use my oranges. 

I don't use them that much but whenever I do I remember how beautiful they are. 

To do this I used 

Essie's Fear and Desire, Orange it Obvious and Flawless. 

BarryM's Bright Pink 

Oumaxi Acrylic Paint in black and white. 

To achieve the background I painted 2 coats of Essie Flawless (light pink). Then used a sponge to mottle over the different colours until it looked good :P 

One thing that did annoy me was for some reason i kept getting little bits coming off the sponge!

 This is another really easy one to do, so give it ago! 

Butterfly Desire

I received a lovely bundle of goodies from Viva La Nails so I decided to use some of the butterfly's to do a lovely bright design.

Essie, as always, goes on like a dream. I actually love the Essie brush and lid. Makes the polish easy to control and means I never need to do a clean up after.

I loved this design so much its also on my toes!

I used Fear and Desire by Essie

Butterfly's from Viva La Nails

Gold floral water decals from Born Pretty Store

Dots are done using Barry M Nail Art pen in Black

So what do you think of this design? Do you like wearing bright colours?
