This is my third tropical manicure for the Hukilau 2013.

I came up with the idea to use Winstonia W114 plate, which has a cool Moai image on it.  I highly recommend checking out the Winstonia stamping plates.  The quality is awesome and the images are very unique.  You can find them at http://www.winstonia.com/. 

Here is the polish list used to create the look:
WnW Black Crème
Essie In The Cab-ana
Konad Black
Sally Hansen Lightening
WnW French White Crème
WnW Sunny Side Up
Seche Vite

My husband suggested a sunset type background, so I went with that idea.  I started off with one coat of WnW French Crème on all nails.  Next I did one coat of WnW Sunny Side Up.  Picked the largest dotting tool and with Sally Hansen Lightening made the sun shape.  Using Konad black I stamped the Moai images on my nails except for the thumb.  Using WnW Black Crème I made the land for the Moai to sit on.  Toped with Seche Vite.

Since I have more space on my thumb I wanted to add the ocean to the sunset.  For the ocean I used Essie In The Cab-ana.  I made little waves with WnW French Crème and a nail art brush.  I then stamped the Moai with Konad and used WnW Black Crème to make the land on which they sit.  Toped with Seche Vite.

I had mixed feelings about this manicure.  Close up it looked cool but from afar it looked like a mess since the detail is lost.  Just taking a picture proved challenging.  This is definitely an idea that I need to play around with more.
