The Digit-al Dozen does Birthdays - August 2017

Hey there! It's a big birthday month over in the Digit-al Dozen! Three of the ladies celebrated this month: Tammy of Canadian Nail Fanatic, Lothwen of Manis and Makeovers and Sarah of 25 Sweetpeas and Tammy of Canadian Nail Fanatic. So many birthdays! They picked a tropical image to go with the winding down of summer. I did my best to freehand it but I did NOT have the right colors, that's for sure. So I guess mine is just loosely inspired by their photo.

Here's their inspiration photo. Doesn't it make you want to head to a beach?

I started with Madam Glam Forbidden Mini Skirt for my base. Told you this was going to be used a lot for nail art!

Then I went to town with a bunch of acrylic paints. I didn't really have any teals like the original photo so I just used greens and a light orange. I finished with KBShimmer Clearly On Top.

As I was doing these I was in awe of people who do lots of freehand. I used the tiniest brush I have but I still couldn't create any real detail. I don't know how they do it!
