Digit-al Dozen: The Mythical Mermaid

Greetings and Nailutations!

It's Digit-al Dozen week and this week we will be doing manis inspired by Mythical Creatures!  Today I'm doing the mythical mermaid inspired mani!


Let's get to the details!

Products used:
Super Moon Lacquer - Mystic Mountain
Cuticula - Latex Nail Barrier
It Girl Nail Art - IG108
Girly Bits Cosmetics - Golden Ticket
Glisten and Girl - Top Coat
Nail Jewelry Bling - Rhinestones, seashell
Hex Nail Jewelry - starfish charm

I started with 2 coats of Mystic Mountain topped with a top coat.  This polish has a slight shift to it, which I knew would be perfect for a mermaid mani.



Then I used Cuticula to make my clean up easier and stamped the mermaid scales using IG108 and Golden Ticket.  I peeled off the latex, did minor clean up and added a thick layer of top coat.  Before it tried, I added all my charms and rhinestones.


And I loved every finger since they are all different so I captured 3 of the 4 for you through macro.




I loved how this turned out!  Mermaids are definitely mythical creature, as I've never seen one (except in that Disney movie!).
