Hello nail people! Today I'm excited to show you some holiday tribute nail art from our trip to the West Coast of Scotland earlier this year. I love to do nail art themed after lovely holidays after we've got back to continue the magic! Our Scotland trip was in August so it has taken me a while to get round to this one! While I was there some new Picture Polish nail polishes came out and I was very tempted to buy them so when I finally decided on these shades after we got back I thought they'd be super appropriate for this nail art. I decided to do a different colour theme for each hand to represent the land and sea parts of the trip.
On my left hand I wanted to capture the views when we walked from the house we stayed in. There were some pretty stunning views from the windows too! We could see a loch, hills and trees, and walking down the road there was a bit where the loch opened out and there were stunning views with the Isle of Bute in the distance, and a few people out on sailing boats enjoying the gorgeous scenery. On my thumb nail I layered up trees from the Mo You London Noel 06 stamping plate. On my middle two nails I used the advanced stamping technique to add the sailing boat and mountain scenes using their Sailor 18 and 01 plates. The block colour nails are in Evergreen from Picture Polish, I've listed all the colours at the bottom of the whole blog post. Unfortunately whatever I tried I couldn't capture the true green shade of this one, it kept coming out teal, but it's more of a forest green in real life!
Great manis. There are so many wonderful places in Scotland, I honestly love it. Whereabouts did you go, if you don't mind me asking?
ReplyDeleteI am pretty much central but a few miles each way and I can get to wonderful amazing places full of nature, wildlife and great scenery! Only complaint about Scotland, and we Scottish moan all the time about it, THE RAIN! It rains soooooo much here.
Thank you :) I totally agree! We visit often (not this year of course though!)as we have family in the Perthshire area, but this time we went to Argyll and Bute instead.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely, it must be an awesome place to live! I can understand about the rain haha! It did rain for a couple of days while we were there and that was in August!
