Summer Sunsets

Hey there, so summer may be coming to an end up ya know what? I'm not letting go! LOL! So today I have a fun Sunset Mani. It could be summer, fall, winter, or spring actually. I mean sunsets in general are just the best. Especially when there are palm trees involved right?

I have just realized that I didn't really do many palm tree manis this summer. Granted I can do them all year for any season because here they are a year around thing but still. I'm suddenly feeling like I need to make up for my lack of palm trees. So for this mani I started with white. Today I used Pretty Beautiful Unlimited White Out.

Then on top of that I watered down some acrylic paint and used a paint brush to create the sunset affect. I think that was my favorite part but I haven't done this technique in a bit, and I love doing it! :) Its such an imperfect method because it never comes out the same as the time before but I love that! Takes off the pressure of perfection which is what makes it perfect! :)

Then I free handed the trees with black acrylic paint, as well as the birds. There is just something about a sunset and palm trees. Its the perfect combo, oh and if you can get the ocean in there too its like a dream! Ah, there is just something so magical about a sunset. I love that quote I have been seeing around social media. Its about how a sunset is proof things can end beautifully.

So yeah, these nails just really make me smile. Plus it was OH SO fun to wear because it had been quite a while since I'd done something like this. I hope you all enjoyed these as much as I did! Also I may just have another palm tree look heading your way soon so stay tuned! :)

Happy Painting!
