DEEP BLUE SEA

First of all, I prepped the natural nail and placed the form. Between the nail and the form, I placed some crimpled foil to give a cracked effect so that it will look like the waves. I used CND pigments to give the sand effect and on the free edge I added glitter powder.\n  

I enclosed the whole nail enhancement with clear acrylic powder and filed it smooth, finishing with a buffer. I then used some white acrylic paint to make the wave foam by tapping lightly with a very thin brush and watering the paint to give a fading effect.  

For the starfish, I took a big bead of acrylic and with my brush, I pulled the product, while it was still wet, to form the spikes. With an orange stick, I made some holes and then I added some bronze glitter.  

To form the sea-shell, I took a bead of acrylic and spread it open like a fan and then I pressed with an orange stick to make lines. I added some bronze color to the lower part of the pearl.  

I picked up a large amount of acrylic powder to build the sea-horse and with an orange stick I made some holes on it. I placed another smaller bead to form the mouth. I draw lines with acrylic paint around the body. I picked up a tiny bead of white acrylic powder to make the eye and then I colored it with acrylic paints.  

To form the conch I took a small bead of acrylic and shaped it like a leaf. Then, I added 3 more beads of the same shape and I placed them one right on top of the other. I added another small bead to form the opening and I colored with acrylic paints.  

crazy summer nails are done!!!
