Sea Glass Bubble Nails: Minimal Ocean-Inspired Nail Art
Soft, sheer and watery, this set was inspired by sea glass and tiny bubbles. I used Twenty Pro “I Do” as the milky sheer base, with blue and turquoise sequin dots encapsulated underneath to create little flashes of colour and an almost floating, bubble-like effect.
The simplicity is what I like about this design. The translucent base allows the sequins to show through at different depths, creating an ocean-inspired feel without needing detailed hand painting.
