Someone Wants To Go To The Beach!

Oh yes, please! We've been having really nice weather in Lisbon these last few days and I can't help but think of going to the beach.

With that in mind and willing to give my Cinderella Hand some TLC, I came up with a super cute beach gradient for today :)



:)
I think if you want to go for something simple, yet eye-catching, there's nothing like a glittered gradient.





I started by painting my nails two coats of Dermacélsia Eternal.
It's one my favourite nudes.





I then picked Kiko No.342 and did a gradient with the two colours.





Love how the two colours blend together for a sea on sand effect. Lovely!
Then I wanted to top it with a glitter that contemplated both shades.





No other was more up to the task than Essence Glorious Aquarius.
Even the name says it so ;)





I love the dark blue and the lighter blue glitter particles and the golden ones complete the look to perfection!
The glitter pieces are like tiny sea shells :)
Oh, how happy was my Cinderella Hand today! :)



How about you - what do you think? Do these make you think of the beach?
And do you also do this? Do you also paint your nails with something you've been wanting for some time?
Let me know down below and have yourself a very good evening! :)


Hugs & Kissies,

  2. Fresh and crystal blue water in Capri but seen from the top of the hill!! :) (water isn't really clean in those little bays/stone beaches).
    Sometime happens to me too but mostly it depends on the mood of that instant even the bluest ones.
    Have a nice Friday
    xoxo

  3. Oooohhh, I love this manicure! Very minimalist and elegant. Beautiful polishes done just right!

    LOL, you are killing me with these gorgeous polishes that you use that, for the most part, are not available in the States! I can usually find a polish that is really similar to what you use but not always. I still greatly yearn for Inocos lima!

    1. I think, we (here, in Europe) have the same problem;) There's so many amazing brands in States and we can't have it here...:)
