Summer Challenge Day 10 - Tropical Drinks

Day 10 (July 19th) of the Summer Challenge is Tropical Drinks. Somehow I got all mixed up and did my manis out of order...so I am late on this one. Whoops. :) The good news is, I have my sea shells mani done and it is scheduled - so we know that one will be one time. Heehee.

Anyway, I thought this was a fun little theme, but was clueless about how I would actually do tropical drinks on my nails. I knew that I wanted to be really colorful with this one, so I decided to do a drink on each nail with a pretty 'ocean' in the background. :)

This blue background is a color that I mixed a LONG time ago...when I was in highschool. Somehow, it has held up really well, and is still easy to apply. I'm not exactly sure of the colors I used to make it, but I know one of the colors was a pearly white from Wet n Wild...back before they named their colors. It was just a number, but the sticker fell off a long time ago. Anyway, after that, I painted on my tropical drinks. I didn't really paint anything specific. I just picked pretty, summery looking colors and went to town.

I used a lot of colors for this, so I'm listing them out:

Pure Ice Super Star!
NYC Taxi Yellow Creme
essie meet me at sunset
Spoiled Let's Get Sushi
NYC High Line Green
Pure Ice Wild Thing
Misa What A Wonderful Day
Zoya Wednesday
Zoya Lo
my handmade no-name light blue shimmer

Here is my no-name base color all by itself.
