Challenge Week 36: Summer!

This weeks 52 week challenge theme is summer- and it's another one I've been quite looking forward to! A couple of weeks ago I saw (I wish I could remember where, sorry!) a lovely 'grass tip' manicure, and I was itching to try it out myself- so the Summer theme is a perfect excuse for me, as Summer to me means spending lots of time outside in fields and my garden

I chose a pale blue background- No7 Minty Fresh- as 'sky' then painted on Barry M Spring Green with a middle sized nail art brush. It was pretty easy, and I love the results! I think it could work really well with any other colours to create 'drippy nails' or a skyline effect.

I also wanted an accent nail of sorts, so I painted a giant sunshine on my thumb nail- admittedly not the best place for it, as it looks like the sun is under the grass... but still, it was my second- and much more successful- attempt with acrylic paints (Henkel & Watermann Lemon Yellow) and I love it!

I don't know about the pictures, but looking at my nails makes me feel SO summery and happy- I think it's the giant sunshine! How can you fail to be happy looking at that :) I considered adding little clouds to the sky, but I rather like it as it is- nice and simple.

Whilst I was in the garden taking pictures of my nails, I found these pretty little flowers- I have no clue what they are but I couldn't resist throwing in a couple of pictures of them (because this post clearly doesn't have enough pictures in it...)

What does Summer make you think of?
