#2. Swirly Blue

This funky summer toe nail art will create a splash! Perfect for lounging around the pool or swimming in the deep blue seas, this design was made for those who love the color blue! To recreate this, start off with a base coat, wait to dry, and apply your favorite blue nail polish. For the accent nail, apply a base coat, wait to dry, and follow up with a white nail polish. Then, let a few drops of blue polish fall onto the accent nail. Use a toothpick to create swirls and voila!

I dunno but I feel like I wouldn’t be able to pull of ANY of these looks…maybe it’s just me, but I prefer simpler designs that i can actually do myself.

Normally I hate feet and toes but these I actually don’t mind! Which makes me think that people really need to take better care of their feet. But I do agree that the red ones need a serious trim!!

For the purple flowers toe nail design, could I use a nail stamp kit to replicate the look, or you don’t think it’ll work? I like to try doing them myself as I don’t have much time for the nail salon 🙁
