Directions to A Day at the Beach

1. First on nails and toes start with a clear coat to protect your natural nail, I use Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #110 Clear'd for Takeoff. 
2. On toes lay down a layer of a darker blue than you're going to use on your fingers, I chose Nina Ultra Pro Salon Formula #709514 Blue Blaze
3. On fingers depending on how light your blue color is you may want to put down a white base before adding the color. I put down Sally Hansen Teflon Tuff # 17 French White Tip so I could get a brighter color when I put down Orly # 40661 Blue Collar.
4. After all those base colors dried I started with all the detail work. On the toes using the white from step 3 I painted a wavy tip on the toes, after that dried I use So Easy Stripe Rite Gold to create a sandy sea bed.
5. When the nails were dry I took Sally Hansen Hard As Nails #4403-12 Ice Frost and painted the top half of my nails so the sky was brighter, and used the darker blue from the toes to make the tips darker for the water. 
6. I then used the gold from step 4 to create a wavy beach line about half way up my nail.
7. The surf and the clouds were really easy I used the white from step 3, I swiped the brush on the bottle as much as I could so I wouldn't have too much paint and the using the tip of the brush I dabbed the surf and clouds where I wanted
8. I used Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint White to lay down a base for the sea grass, when that was dry I went over it with So Easy Stripe Rite Hot Green. I used the same step for the sea weed on the toes.
9. To create the see creatures I used Cina Nail Creations # 133038 Under the Sea and I placed them where ever I left space for them
10. Once everything was in it's place and dry I added a clear coat to make sure the creatures stayed in place and that I had a pretty shine to the nails. I hope this was helpful.
