Tropical sunset

Hello, everybody !

Today's theme in the "Alphabet nail art challenge" is the letter 'T', and I chose to create this Tropical sunset manicure. I think that this design is so perfect for this time of the year, with autumn right around the corner...

After applying a base coat, as usual, I created the gradient on the sponge using purple, pink and yellow and afterwards I just dabbed the sponge onto the nails to transfer the colours - it took me 3 coats to get them opaque. Next, I applied a coat of Seche Vite to help the base dry faster. Using some black nail polish I created the French tips and then I drew the palm trees and the birds using black acrylic paint (oh, how I missed drawing something on my nails !...). When everything dried, I applied one final coat of Seche Vite and... voilà ! :D

So... now onto your opinions ! Do you like the theme, the idea, the result, the pictures ?... I'd love to see what you think about this design. Thank you for your time ! ^_^

Please stop by the other girls to see their manicures for this theme !

Palm trees

Here is a design that was truly inspired by summer, by holiday, by relaxation. I made this while I was dreaming of a paradise of my own, obviously… I liked very much the way it turned out, but also the feeling I got every time I looked at my manicure. The gradient was done with a sponge and the palm trees are stamped.

Iată şi un design inspirat cu adevărat de vară, de vacanţă, de relaxare. L-am făcut în timp ce visam la un paradis al meu, evident… Mi-a plăcut foarte mult şi cum a ieşit, însă şi sentimentul pe care îl aveam de fiecare dată când îmi priveam manichiura. Gradientul este făcut cu un burete, iar palmierii sunt aplicaţi cu ajutorul unei ştampile.
