DIY Strap + Essie Spring 2018

essie spring 2018 collection includes shades, perfect mate, at the helm, passport to sail, anchor down stripes, and sails bon boy-age

I’ve been having a lot of fun customizing my camera straps with nail polish. In my latest DIY I used my new Nikki silver strap and drizzled the Essie Spring 2018, hook, line and sinker! collection featuring some nautically chic shades including:

  • Anchor Down – pretty blue washed with pewter gray undertones
  • Stripes and Sail – intense teal green
  • Bon Boy-age – a nautical mint green
  • Pass-port to Sail – soft sandy beige lightly splashed in ivory shimmer
  • Perfect Mate – coral pink
  • At the Helm – a fire orange tinged with salmon red

For my manicure I’m wearing a mix of Anchor Down and Bon Boy-age. The whole collection makes me want to head to Newport and sail away into the weekend.

The DIY for this strap was very easy. Put down newspaper or bubble wrap and then remove the wand and in a lighting bolt motion zig-zag the polish so it spills across the strap. One color at a time and let it dry for 2+ hours and it’s good to go!
