When done right, tropically-themed nails can rise above being just an artsy scheme of colors that make your hands look pretty. They can become little works of art in their own right.
Perhaps the classic scheme involved in this area concerns some kind of palm tree — that quintessential signifier of all things laid back and breezy.
Drawing a palm tree on your nails in black — thus calling to mind its shade and tranquil atmosphere — and then contrasting that black against a colorful tropical background of yellow sun, pinkish sky and cool blue water, can neatly sum up what the tropical scene is all about and how that scene reflects on you.
What simpler and more neatly memorable way is there to show the world that you like to chill, that you love the warm glow of life and prefer to take things day by day? A lush tropical flower nail design is another superb way to cast out a warm and sultry demeanor.
This way, not only would you show yourself to be a woman at home in a sunny environment, but you can though subtle little hints of all things sweltering and sexy. In the end, there are as many possibilities open to you here as there are gains of sand on the beach.
