One of the ways to "stay cool" during summer months is to wear cool flip-flops. This year flip-flops fashion is full of color and shine, so why should your toes be different. Pick a few bright polish colors to match your favorite flip-flops and add some rhinestones to the mix. Shining in the bright summer sun they will transform the simplest nail designs into a sparkly piece of art work.
	Some kinds of bright nail polish can easily discolor the surface of the nails. Apply a clear base coat, and then a coat or two of purple nail polish.				After a clear base coat paint your toes bright orange. For better coverage and smoother surface apply a few thin coats rather that one thick gooey coat.
	Paint a modern angled French tip with white nail polish. Don't worry if the line is not straight - you can always fix it with the background color.				Hold brush vertical to the nail and add a stripe down the middle of each nail. Vertical stripes look flattering on wide nails making them appear skinnier.
	On your big toe apply a row of light blue gems on the edge between two colors. On the smaller toes place one rhinestone in the corner of the nail.				With square rhinestones in two colors create a checkers pattern over the white stripe. Geometrical patterns always add a modern touch to the designs.
	Applying gems is not as difficult as you might think. If the base coat is already dry, use clear polish as a bonder. To secure the position of the stones apply a clear topcoat over the nail and reapply it after a few days. You will be surprised how long your designs last.
