Summer’s not over yet! Get in your last licks with some sunshine and palm trees!

For this design you will need an opal off white, translucent yellow and translucent gold. Start by painting all your nails with two coats of the opal off white. Next paint slightly more than one third of your nail with the yellow. Lastly use the gold to give the faded look between the two colors by painting the middle half of both colors with the gold! Don’t forget the top coat!

For the next look, you’ll need a pastel pink, blue, green, and a thin brushed black polish. Start by painting your whole nail with the pastel pink. Next paint the middle third of your nail pastel blue and the bottom third of your nail with the pastel green. For the palm tree, start by making a slightly curved line from the bottom corner of your ring finger nail to the middle of the nail. Then make two curved down lines on each side at the top of your first line. Voila!
