Hey guys,
Happy Monday! Did you have a good weekend? I didn’t do much but we had a crazy storm last night and that was not fun. I have also decided to move the polish room around a bit this coming weekend so this week will be spent packing up everything when I have spare moments. What did you get up to?
Time for another week of #52weeknailchallenge hosted by Polish Portfolio. As always, you can follow this # to see what other people are creating and you can find the list of prompts for this year below.
The prompt this week is ocean and I will honest and admit I was not feeling this prompt at all. There are a million ways to interpret ocean and maybe the was the problem. Nothing seemed cohesive enough. I knew I would probably use a polish with an ocean-ish name. Let me show you what I did and then what it’s meant to be 😉
I started with 2 coats of Essence – Ahoy boy on my pinky and index and 2 coats of Essence – Splash on my middle and ring finger. Once it was completely dry I stamped on my middle and ring using Lina – Born to sail 02 for random shark and dolphin images and Mundo de Unas – Joy. I then stamped the water over that using BM-509 and Mundo de Unas – Pastel blue. I then applied 1 coat of Sinful Colors – Green ocean over my index and pinky, topcoated and voila!
I wanted the fish images to look like shadows in the deep waters but I am not sure if it translates well. It is a whole bunch of gorgeous polishes though and the green ocean over the dark blue looks incredible. What do you think? How would you translate ocean for this prompt?
Thanks for reading,
