Hi guys! Today I created a design inspired by a recent trip to Inca Llajta, the largest Inca ruin in Bolivia. This Incan City served as the most eastern fortress of the Incan Empire. I was taking pictures the whole trip, but I didn't get a head on shot of the Temple wall, which my mani is inspired by. Instead I used a photo I shot from a side view and my memory of the wall to create a design from a head on view. I will share the photo after my mani :)

I used a wide combination of colors to create the wall. I can't remember exactly what I used, I know a brown, yellow, and white were involved, but I did a lot of experimenting to get the colors right. The sky is Wispy Clouds by Loreal, and the clouds are Genesis by Zoya. The grass is Jace, also by Zoya.

What do you guys think?

Thanks Taylor! And I agree! The wall opposite of my inspiration was destroyed due to people searching for gold. It is such a shame that they didn't appreciate the beauty! Thankfully these are well preserved now :)
