Summer Henna

Although the last couple weeks of summer are approaching, I couldn't help but try and capture the beauty and intricacy of boardwalk henna designs. They are a classic summer go-to at the beach, and a fantastic way to get inked without the commitment! I was inspired by these beautiful tattoos, and this is what came of it. 


A base nude coat from elf polish and a mix of black and orange paint were used in this nail art. Just as I said in previous posts, acrylics are the way to go! The manageable consistency allowed this pattern to come out better than I imagined! Here is a close up collaborative of each nail.


All that is needed to do this is photos for inspiration, a trimmed brush, and patience! I'd love to make this more mainstream, I had a great time painting these and had quite a few compliments! I highly recommend trying this out! The best part? You can wear these all the way into fall. Happy summer!
