Mermaid Nails
Hi guys and hello Fri-YAY! Welcome to the weekend! Today's nail polish is actually some mermaid nail art featuring my first attempt at using vinyls! I purchased these vinyls on Bundle Monster's website (now Maniology) and they look like this:
Next I needed to select some nail polish to create this design! I selected Bundle Monster Color's "Peridot", Wet N' Wild's "Black Creme" and Sephora Formula X's "Kaleidoscope."
First off I decided to stick with an accent nail because I work in a strict office setting that doesn't usually allow nail art so I needed to be able to add an accent nail for the weekend that could be removed for a more traditional nail come Monday. (I wore these last weekend.) I started by painting my ring finger with two coats of Wet N' Wild's "Black Creme" and the other fingers with Bundle Monster Color's "Peridot." My nails looked like this:
Next I placed the vinyl on to my ring finger:
I followed this up by several coats of Sephora Formula X's "Kaleidoscope" to create the mermaid's scales. I peeled off the vinyl, applied Orly's "Sec'N'Dry" as my quick drying top coat and had this gorgeous final look:
If you want to know more about Wet N' Wild's "Black Creme" check out my post from earlier this year!
Overall I am really happy with how this look turned out! (Especially for a first attempt!) The vinyls were super easy to use and gave me a look that wouldn't have been able to create any other way - at least not as easily. I cannot wait to try out other vinyls!
