Ocean Floor

OMG! Can I tell you how much I love this color combo?! I had done a similar combo before, but not on my nails. Go figure! Ok, so I love to paint things in general and I had the idea to make refrigerator magnets out of the clear decorator river rock looking things. I forget what color I used for the sea green/turquoise color, but I think it was OPI "Stranger Tides", so a little more green and a little more of a murky color. Then I used OPI "Last Friday Night" which was the glitter topper from the Katy Perry collection. This is what resulted from there.
It reminds me of looking through the water to the ocean floor. Clean, calming, refreshing like being at the beach on a super calm day.

I got my monthly shipment of Square Hue polish yesterday and the June batch is inspired by SoBe drinks. There was a grey, "Lincoln Road", an orange/bright peach, "Collins Avenue", and the lovely sea green, "Ocean Drive". See here:
I had been using neon and brights lately, so I wanted to steer away from the orange for now. Also, the grey seemed a bit blah for me today, but for another day, it will be awesome. But I really liked the sea green. So I decided to recreate the magnet look with this more bright color. Again, the glitter topper was OPI "Last Friday Night" from the Katy Perry collection. Hope you like it as much as I do! Makes me want a beach and some fruity umbrella drink :)
