The Digit-al Dozen does Summer Day 4 - A day at the beach

Hello everyone! I have just come back from a weekend at the seaside, so it seemed fitting to do something "beachy" for Summer week. I have seem a few of these manis this week and they have blown me away - mine is a little more basic but I got to use some of my favourite colours and its another gradient that I don;t consider a fail, so I'm posting it anyway :)

I painted a gradient using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Time To Shine and Deep Blue Sea (well that was a no brainer...) and a little bit of LA Colors Metallic Silver. I added some waves using white acrylic paint thinned with a little acetone, and finished with Seche Vite.




This sea certainly looks a little more tropical than the sea I was splashing around in with Scarlett at the weekend, but it was so much fun and a little break that we all needed. Now to start the countdown until we go away in October :)

One more DD mani on the way for you tomorrow - its going to be a bright one! ;)

    I like the simple perfection of this one - no need to go overboard and bling it up or anything.

    Barry Island never looked so pretty :) Seriously, because I don't think it could. These are gorgeous.

    I want to go back. We went last summer and ate at the restaurant where I guess they filmed a mess of Gavin & Stacey stuff? I dunno. It was nice but I didn't fancy going near the water, so we ate our chips outside the fairground and fed the seagulls, and then grabbed an icecream for the walk back to the car, lol.
