31DC2018 Day 05: Blue – Bikinis & Beach Breaks, Jelly Nails

Back with the 31 Day Challenge for 2018. We’ve hit Day 05’s Blue prompt. For this I chose to do Blue – Bikinis & Beach Breaks Jelly Nails. [Explore entries on Instagram #31DC2018 ]

 Buff & Polish - 31DC2018 Day 05 Blue - Bikinis & Beach Breaks Jelly Nails

 

Of course I had to fit the Jelly Nail trend into this challenge somewhere and somehow! Today was the perfect prompt for it and after having grown up and lived on the coast, I have an affinity with water. So you get blue jelly nails!

I modelled this mani off the clear waters of tropical locations, sunsets that go into the water and palms that provide shade during the day whilst you are waiting for garçon to bring you another  fruity cocktail. Speaking of which…”Waiter…?…” Oh wait, sorry, got lost in a daydream for a minute.

I hand-painted the palm trees (rather badly in my rush) and stamped the graduated lines, both in white. I considered doing a subtle pond mani but liked it as is. Anyhow, better post, and stop rambling so much in these daily posts!

    This is pretty. It says summer. I’m not really ready for summer to come to an end.

      Thank you Cindi 😎 Definitely the vibe I was going for.

      Summer is always over so quickly, seems like time flies when it comes round. Then you have to wait so long for it to return 😢

      Why thank you for the kind words 😊💓 So glad you think so. They were fun to wear.

      That’s another the problem with a mani a day – it kinda sucks to have to take off the ones we like so soon 😢
