Summer Challenge Catch Up - Needle Drag and The Seaside

Hi Goddesses



I am ridiculously behind and all over the place with the Summer Challenge, so today I am bringing you 2 posts in 1.   Why am I behind?  Well, 2 reasons. Firstly, the blog sale - I had no idea how intensive it would be, and it ate up my blogging time for about 3 days.  Secondly, we've had an inspection on the house (we rent) which meant we had to go into cleaning overdrive - ugh!  So, pretty much no spare time!




First of all, here's my Summer Needle Drag.  Ah, so not a success.  I am desperate to get this technique right, and I'm pretty sure I know where I went wrong here.  I absolutely will be trying this again soon.




I used all Barry Ms for my colours - Yellow, Shocking Pink, Mint Green and Tangerine.



2nd up we have Seaside nails.  I started this with a gradient, using Atlantic Beach (a gift from my polish momma) for the sea, and Essie Sand Tropez for the beach.




Now, I did quite like it at this point, but I decided I couldn't just do beach and sand, there needed to me some ... "things" in the picture too .... And that was where my problem began, because I couldn't really decide on which things.



In case you were wondering, the "things" were a bucket, a brolly and a ball lol.

Enjoy xx :)
