End of the season nails

The other night I was about to paint my nails with China Glaze's "trendsetter" to which my husband said "eww, ugly."  He said "it's still Summer. Do something Summer-y."  So, I did.

Inspired by this photo: 

I came up with this:


Certainly not as awesome, but not too bad for my first try, especially since I was watching tv at the same time :)

Colors used:
Turquoise - Essie's "Turquoise and Caicos"
Coral - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure's "Coral Fever" but if you want something more similar to the inspiration photo go with Essie's "Haute as Hello"  Mine was lent out, or that's what I would've used..
White (used for stripes, polka dots and flower base) - Zoya's "Snow White"
Gold Glitter Top Coat - OPI for Sephora's "Only Gold for Me"
Base Coat and Top Coat - Seche Vite. This is the best BY far. You can get it super cheap on amazon (I paid $10 at Sally Beauty Supply!) and I highly recommend it.
