For my jewelry inspiration I decided on a pendant I own. It's a cheap faux-abalone shell pendant with a nifty shape and diamond pattern. It seemed a fun challenge to try to recreate!
I began by blocking out the shape with the dark teal,
Sinful Colors Calypso. I was a bit sad that my negative space ovals didn't turn out perfect, but oh well. Next, I blotched on some shimmery teals with
China Glaze Deviantly Daring and
Essie Beach Bum Blu. A touch of
Sinful Colors Bali Mist in some areas added that pink opalescent effect, but for some reason I couldn't catch it on camera.
I took a small brush and
Wet n Wild Metallica to add the silver border detail and the swoosh. Within the swoosh, I added a curving line of silver microbeads transitioning into a set of teal nail gems.
