Week 37 of the 52 week 40 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.
This week the prompt is Summer.
I am trying to do some of the challenge nails in advance. I did these nails a few weeks back.
I have used OPI Alpine snow for the base colour. The main gradient here is done solely using acrylic paint. I started off using just an orange and deep red but thought it needed something else.... So.... I added a lighter orange at the cuticle and three sponges later I had a beautiful hot summery gradient.
To finish, I added some lacey decals and some studs. Overall, I loved this on and got many compliments. (was asked where I got them done?) Just wishing now our summer is just as hot.
The acrylic colours I used are Orange, Vermillion and Deep Red. The decals (10 black and 10 white) are from Aliexpress and I have used them before,
here and
here. I also used a very similar set from Sparklynails
here.
