Step 2: Paint your nails 2 coats of any color you would like.
Im in love with this Sinful Color Polish Called "Why Not"
Step 3: Create A Beach scene on the Accent Finger.
For the accident finger I'm going to start off with the light blue polish I'm using Essies "find me an oasis."
Taking a Cosmetic Sponge Rip 3 chunks off a makeup sponge with a pair of tweezers.
A. Take the sponge chunk and dip it into a dark polish and create a horizontal line in the center of the nail this is going to create depth and our ocean.
B. Take a clean sponge chunk. dip it in the white polish and dab at the tip of the nail once your satisfied with the color... allow your nails to dry for a few minutes.
C.Take tan polish and create the beach shore along the tip of the nail.
D. Follow up with some waves crashing onto the shoe by taking a white polish and a dotting tool and creating little Swegles along the beach line
Step 4: Add Some Beach Details
Take some brown polish and a toothpick and create some small details to look like rocks or maybe some foot prints across the sand! You can be as creative as you would like.
