Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all have a great start to a new week! If you happen to have a "bad case of the Mondays", don't worry! Maybe this fun nail art design and outfit will cheer you up!
Tank: This mint colored, sheer, high-low equipment tank is super lightweight, super flowy, and super comfortable! It's accented with cute gold buttons, which I love! Since it is sheer, I highly recommend wearing a bandeau or a tank top underneath. I personally chose a bandeau, but if you're not comfortable with showing that much skin, then a tank top would work just as well! You can find this tank HERE.
Shorts: How cute are these shorts? Normally I'm not a huge fan of patterned shorts, but I couldn't resist these! I love the pattern and the colors so much! The mint, pink, and beige colors work so well together! These shorts are also very comfortable to wear. They're not stiff and they do have a bit of stretch to them. You can find these shorts HERE.
Sandals: Since I already had quite a bit of the same colors with the tank and the shorts, I decided to neutral on the shoes and went with some adorable natural colored sandal with a rhinestone bow. I love these as well and since they are neutral colored they can go with pretty much any outfit! You can find these sandals HERE.
I decided to base the nail art off of the shorts, because I loved the pattern so much that I thought it would translate well as nail art.
I used striping tape and a small nail art brush to do this design! The basically white lines is where the striping tape was and I used the tape as guidelines to trace the squares (or diamonds?) on the inside.
For the white base I used Wet n Wild's Wild Shine in French White Creme. If you don't like spending lots of money on white polishes because they dry up, get thick, and run out too quickly, I highly recommend getting this polish. It's only 99 cents and I think it works great for the price! The blue is China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle from their newest summer collection. The pink is China Glaze Dance Baby. Yeah, yeah, I know.. I've been using Dance Baby a lot lately, but I can't resist! It's definitely one of my favorite pinks and is usually my go to when I need a standard pink cream. The beige/brown is OPI Berlin There Done That. And of course I used Out The Door for my top coat.
I personally think these colors look fantastic together! At first I thought my beige choice was going to be a little too dark, but it turned out to be just right!
This pattern can be a little bit tricky if you don't have a steady hand or a small detail brush (try using a toothpick), but you can always make the squares a little bigger than what I did and that will make them easier to fill in.
I do believe I'm going to end this post here! Don't forget to check out my video tutorial below if you want to give this design a try. I explain it step by step so it's easier to understand! Also, I provided a few photos of me wearing the outfit in the above picture. Isn't it cute? I personally love it! Anyway, I hope you all have a great Monday! :)
