Glitter mermaid

Hi all! 
I thought it was time I tried to do mermaid nails. Everyone has their own versions but i think mermaid nails are anything glittery and scaly.
Here is my small collection of shimmery scales.

HINT: Whenever you do anything that has bumps/things that can catch DON'T try them out on your thumbs or index fingers. These fingers re used the most so they won't last as long.

With that in mind I chose my middle finger. 


  1. Put a small amount of clear polish on the proximal part of your nail (closest to your body) and use tweezers or dotting tool ( I used the dotting tool with a little bit of clear polish on the tip) to pick the pieces up.
  2. Start layering them like a house roof up you nail. (add more polish when necessary) 
  3. Once finished, place another coat over the top and vuala! 

The colour turned out no where near as bright as I thought so I may put down a purple polish before hand next time.

Enjoy!
