My garden is half dead from heat and lack of watering - watering ban is on... it is almost too sad to look at...
thinking of tropical place to get some R&R, I came with this manicure. Only tropical element - aside from heat I have are flip-flops!
Middle and Ring fingers for the base have Nicole by OPI - Sand in my shoe. I like to stamp on textured polish, and to keep the texture I lightly sponged Sally Hansen - Firey Island and Sinful Colors - On the bright side for a gradient.
Both images are from JQ-L07 plate I got from AliExpress.com . I stamped ring finger with Mundo de unas black, and I reverse stamped flip-flops using new to me reverse stamping technique, in which you do not do top coat over your decal, but stamp it back to your nail as is. It is hit and miss for me, but I am happy that worked for this manicure, as I wanted texture. I also like that flip-flops look like they are in 3-D. Loose green glitter completed flip-flop look.
