NOTD: It's Another Tequila Sunrise...

Hello!!

Today's challenge in PCF is cocktails!

Aruba, Jamaica, ooo I wanna take ya...

Wait, cocktailS, not Cocktail. My bad.

I was torn regarding what sort of cocktail I wanted to do a take on, and almost went with margarita. But at the end of searching through pretty drinks, I decided to try my hand at a Tequila Sunrise. They look like this, if you've never had one:



I love the colors in this drink, and set out to recreate it. First, I started with a base coat of Zoya's Arizona, a lovely, bright, all-purpose orange. Second, I decided to create some ice cubes...so I put some yellow hex glitters on the tips of the nails. Then, I sponged over them and created a gradient, keeping Arizona as the top color, using Misa's Um...You're Too Delicious as the middle color, and China Glaze's Foxy as the bottom color. Finally, I stamped a little lemon wedge on each using Sally Hansen Lightning, and Cheeky plate CH20. Here is the final result:


Every night when the sun goes down...

Just another lonely boy in town...

And she's out runnin' around...
So there you have it, my Tequila Sunrise, a downright pretty cocktail and a downright pretty song. :)

Thanks for stopping by to look, and please check out the other cocktail manis made by the talented bloggers in our group!

  1. I love this manicure. The touch with the yellow hex glitter as the ice cubes is the part I like best about it. I think it makes the manicure rather than being "just" another gradient. :)
