Purple Seashell Nails.

I'm not much of a beach person but I do enjoy a good beach-y manicure and I think these seashells are perfect for summer! 


The base color is OPI You're Such A Budapest, the seashells were done with purple acrylic paint, and I couldn't resist adding a little shimmer with CND Violet Shimmer.

Beachy Crab Nails.

After seeing this manicure during my search for inspiration, I decided that crab nails were a must-do. As I mentioned earlier this week, my current focus in on summer, and it's only a matter of days now until I return to Maryland for the summer. So, crabs are the perfect nail art choice. 



This manicure doesn't show much of the base, but it's a gradient that is supposed to show where the ocean meets the sand. I started with a base color of Zoya Jules, which is like a prettier version of wet sand. Then I created the gradient with OPI Ogre the Top Blue, LA Colors Static Electricity, and Wet n Wild Blue Wants to be a Millionaire. The crabs were done with CND Flashpoint with Wet n Wild French White Creme and Black Creme for the eyes.
