Beach Nails

Thursday 3rd July 2014
 
My sister went to New Zealand recently and bought me back a little bit of sand. I have been thinking of ways to use it for months until today when it dawned on me... Nail design!!
 
I tried to create the look of the sea using a gradient effect and white lines. I then added sand using a clear coat on the bottom half of the nail. I was thinking of creating a perfect moon shape in sand but thought it would look better as a slightly rougher more natural shape.
 
To add a bit of colour I chose to paint a small starfish on each ring finger.
 
I absolutely love the final effect and I'm interested to see how well the sand lasts x
 

 
Edit: the sand lasted longer than my patience for it. It was rather scratchy and was a pain when putting on tights/washing hair/etc. It calmed down after a day but I took it off after a few days.
