Tropical Dreaming- Holo Sunset

Hello everyone! Today we will be creating one more tropical design, even though summer is sadly coming to a close, I still wanted to create one more tropical design using the Holo Taco Rainbow Collection polishes. 

   Tropical Sunset Nail Design

 Here are the polish and nail art tools used to create this bright tropical sunset: 

Base and Top coat - CND Stickey Base Coat, and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat. 

Polishes- Holo Taco Rainbow; Lemon Sucker, Purple Slushie, Magenta Jelly, Orange Drink, and Blue Freezie.  

Arcylic paint- Black, and yellow.

Nail art brushes- Thin detail brush and a stripper brush. 

Other- Makeup sponge for gradient and a cup of water to clean off your nail art brushes.

Apply base coat and let that dry.

 

Polish- 

Base colors

 

Thumb- Blue Freezie

Index, middle, and ring- Lemon Sucker

Pinky- Purple Slushie

 

Let that dry.

This design is very similar to the last weeks tropical design, we will just be using more colors for the gradient.

 

 

Purple, Magenta, Orange, Yellow, and Blue Gradient (Sunset)

 

First we will start off with the gradient with a clean makeup sponge, polish Purple Slushie at the top of the sponge, then Magenta Jelly, Orange Drink, Lemon Sucker, and Blue Freezie. It does look like their is a green polish added, but it is just the yellow and blue blending together.

 

Then dab the sponge on to the nails, to make the polishes blend into a gradient like sunset. You can repeat this step another time if you feel like your gradient is not opqaue enough.   

 

Once again for this design I did apply a top coat before I did the design just to smooth out the gradient, then after I did the tropical design I did apply another top coat.

Once again I will not do a detailed description of this design, just a simple description.

 

Starting with the middle finger nail, the sunset, make a line in the middle of the nail and a sun on top of that line, then fill in your sun with yellow. Under the sun make a few small lines in the water, also make some more smaller lines in the sky. For a final touch add two small birds in the sky, by making two curved lines.

On the index nail make a oval for the land and add one palm tree on the small island. Also add a few lines under the palm tree for grass.

    

On the ring finger nail repeat the same steps like the index nail, just put the island and palm tree on the other side of the nail. For this nail also add a line in between the orange and yellow and some small lines in the water. Also for this nail add one small bird in the sky.

Once you have your bright tropical sunset design the way you like apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it to last. 

 

 

Here is the practice design that I created. One thing I would have done differently on my final design on my nails is like my practice design I would have not had as much purple, I felt like I had to much purple in the sky and not enough blue for the water.  

Hope all of you enjoined this tropical design and hopefully soon we can all enjoy a nice tropical vacation and not just have it on our nails.
