This month has not been my lucky month for nail art working out how I intended. For this mani, I was trying to go for a sunset, sea, and sand look using three polishes from the ellagee Laule'a collection. I started by painting all my nails with Golden Sands of Waikiki, a beautiful gold shimmer polish. Then using a ripped up makeup sponge I sponged Haleakala Sunrise (a beautiful pink shimmer) near my cuticles for the sunset and Lanikai Beach (an ocean colored shimmer) in the middle of my nail for the sea. Then using ellagee A Kiss For Luck (a glitter top coat with iridescent glitters) I sponged over Golden Sands for the spray coming up on the beach from the ocean. This looked so beautiful and gorgeously beachy in my head...
I think my first mistake was starting with a base of Golden Sands. I should have started with a base of Haleakala Sunrise, then sponged the Lanikai Beach and Golden Sands over the top of it. Also, I think I should have used less Lanikai Beach as the blue seems to absolutely dominate in this mani.
All in all this isn't horrible, but it definitely didn't turn out how I planned. I'm going to try to learn from my mistakes and hopefully round 2 turns out better!
