Who doesn’t like daydreaming that they are a mermaid while lounging by the pool or at the beach? Get even more into character with these stunning (and glitzy) nails inspired by a mermaid’s scaled tail!
What You Will Need:
- • Base Coat & Top Coat (I used OPI – Start to Finish)
- • Teal Nail Polish (I used Beyond the Nail – Teal Creme)
- • Holographic Top Coat (I used Beyond the Nail – Radiant Glow)
- • Mermaid Scale Nail Guides (I used Beyond the Nail – Mermaid Scale Nail Guides)
- • Rhinestones (I got mine off eBay)
Instructions:
- 1. Apply base coat to all your nails.
- 2. Paint 1-2 layers of your teal nail polish on all your nails.
- 3. When completely dry, place your mermaid scale nail guides on top of your nails and press it firmly on so the sides stick to your nails.
- *NOTE: Do these next steps 1 nail at a time!*
- 4. Paint over the nail guide with your holographic top coat nail polish.
- 5. Immediate peel away the nail guide while the nail polish is still wet, then continue to do the same on the rest of your nails.
- 6. After completing each nail, apply a layer of top coat to each nail.
- 7. OPTIONAL: While the top coat is still wet, stick on some rhinestones around your nail!
