Isn’t it amazing that we can respond to the warmth of the sun by giving our toes a burst of color and style? Why would you want to seem usual when you can be different even down to your acrylic nails for summer?
Classy Pink with a Dash of Bling
As an experienced nail artist, I have observed various trends that come and go but the pinks are always in vogue with little sparkle from crystals. These summer acrylic toe nails are a perfect canvas for creative artists due to their bright pink base. What fascinates me about this particular design is the way rhinestones are carefully placed along the big toe, causing it to appear as though it has been made just for you as well as providing that tasteful touch of bling.

- High gloss top coat (Glass Shine Supreme)

Soft Pink Serenity
The preference for class and understatement in a client can be inferred from the soft pink used in the world of toe nail beauty. A simple design that is elegant at the same time giving a natural look which is preferred by many people who would not want their nails to be overdone. The contrast between matte skin and glossy sheen creates an interesting contrast of textures.

Being able to achieve such natural beauty is all about how accurate one applies it. Acrylic should be spread evenly and apply generous top coat layer for glassy finish.
