Today's challenge theme in PCF is 'A Day At The Seaside'. Earlier this summer I did a beach manicure for a contest I was in (you can see that one by clicking here), and I decided to make this one a sister to that one...this is a close-up look at what was happening on one teeny-weeny part of the shore:

Oh noes, what's happening?! There seems to be a sea crab chasing somebody's tootsies! Maybe they got away, maybe they didn't...aaahhhhhh...:)
Okay, enough silliness! Here's how I made it. For the base color, I used China Glaze's Fast Track (love this color so much, especially to use for sand), and for the ocean, I used Sinful Colors Nail Junkie. To stamp the feet, I used China Glaze's Kalahari Kiss, and Shany plate SH03; I wanted to use a similar color to give the look that you get when you actually walk on the beach and the sand changes color slightly where you step. To stamp the seashells (you can barely see them on the ring and middle finger) I used Piggy Polish in All That Glitters, and Shany plate SH04. Finally, to stamp the crabs, I used Cheeky XL plate L, and Sally Hansen White On; this was actually an image of a lobster, but I just used the head of it. :)
I hope it made you smile. Thanks for stopping by! Please check out the other seaside manicures my fellow bloggers created, linked below. :)
