Chic Beach Nails for Summer
Sparkly Blue Nails with Seashell Nail Charms
Get chic beach nails perfect for summer! These sparkly blue nails are inspired by the ocean & feature adorable seashell nail charms which you can find on amazon! I went to a nail salon to get blue glitter nail dip, then I created a chic mermaid look by centering one seashell nail charm on each nail. You can recreate these chic summer nails with silver or gold shells! I used one small sized shell on each finger and one large sized shell on each thumb! You can find the gold & silver seashell nail charms on Amazon here! I’ve also linked a clear gel polish base & top coat and a light for curing. You can read my how-to and follow along while watching my video tutorial, both below.
How to add Chic Beach Nail Charms:
1. You can adhere these fun gems anywhere on your nail! To create this chic beach nails look, you’ll want to place each charm in the exact center of your nails. Take your time with placement; it is everything in this very clean look. Add a dab of gel polish to the back of your nail charm, then place it in the center of your nail with tweezers.
2. Once the charm is in the perfect position, cure it in place by putting your nail under the LED light for 30-60 seconds, or as directed on your nail polish bottle.
3. Now that the charm is secure, paint and cure 1-2 more gel coats, covering the entire nail and nail charm.
By now the clear gel polish should have built up around the charm enough to lock it in place with a smooth finish so that it doesn’t snag on your hair or clothes. If it still feels rough, one more coat & cure should fix it!
