Hey guys! So I'm SOO excited about these nails! I haven't seen anything like them before so I'm excited to share them and explain it. So the city that I consider to be home is surrounded by waterways. They are so pretty during this time of year too. People decorate their boat docks, and their boats! Which leads me to a fun event we have gone to in the past years, Christmas Boat Parades!
Christmas boat parades are so much fun. You get to go sit by the water in sweaters and ya know sometimes an extra blanket and watch boats go by decked out in lights and little Christmas scenes, plus some of them even have synchronized music. Its pretty great! Oh and I'm not exaggerating when I say you need an extra blanket or sweatshirt. Even though Florida is warm, and we still have warm winters, when that sun goes down it gets chilly and then you add the water being right there is can get frigid real quick! ;)
Hopefully you can tell I tried to paint different types of boats decked out for the Holidays. My favorite one is the sail boat that has used its mass to create a Christmas tree. Oh and the one that looks like a lighthouse because the last boat parade we went to was near the lighthouse so it seemed fitting!
To create this look I started off with a light blue, this one is called Peek-a-Blue by Heroine NYC. The rest was them done with acrylic paint. I wanted to try and put it at more nighttime but I also wanted the boats so show so this is what I came up with!

ReplyDeleteI love this fabulous mani because it reminds me of the boat parade in my own town (though ours is on Labor Day weekend with boats decorated for Christmas, lol)
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never heard of a boat parade, let alone a Christmas boat parade. Very cool, and your art is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI want to witness a boat Christmas parade, that must be a very nice experience
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of home so much. Seattle on the lakes we had a lot of boats with lights on them. <3
ReplyDeleteI bet it would be fun to watch your Christmas boat parade. Your nails look so festive.
ReplyDeleteMy mom went to the boat parade a few days ago! She said it was amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! I wish I could see the boat parade in person. The boats in my city get some lights for the Holiday season, but that's it. No fun trees, Santas, or snowmen.
ReplyDeleteAww I've never heard of a boat parade! My in laws live in Crystal River - I need to ask if they go do this!
ReplyDeleteThis is so stinking cute!!! I love it!!!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Your freehand skill is phenomenal! :) I live in a super cold climate during the winter, so I've never experienced a holiday boat parade, but it sounds so fun!
