Remember when I made a really cool NOTD with loose nail glitter from the Kiss Disney Villains Nail Art Kit in Maleficent? It was one of my favorite NOTDs of 2013. Some serious sparkle, y’all.
Well, today I did another Nails of the Day with that nail art kit. But, this time, rather than nail glitter, I used these loose sequin things that came in the kit. In the end, it reminded me so much of a mermaid tail—scales and all.
Check out my mermaid nail polish NOTD!
“Look at this nail polish! Isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think my polish collection’s complete?!”
For that purple base, I used Wet N Wild Wild Shine Nail Polish in Eggplant Frost. Purple just seemed like the right choice, ya know?
Then I used two different colors of iridescent sparkles/sequins from the Disney Villains kit. In the middle third of the nail, I use the darker blue and green sparkles. Once that dried, I used the lighter green and yellow sparkles at the tips.
It totally looks like mermaid scales!
To set it all in place, I used several clear top coats from the Top Coat that came with the kit. Otherwise, I would have been leaving mermaid scales all over the place.
(You should see my coffee table where I did this manicure. It’s bedazzled right now, just from all the loose glitter I have yet to clean up. Sparkle, sparkle!)
What do you think of my mermaid nail polish?
Does it remind you of a mermaid’s tail? Would you rock this look, or is it a bit too much for you?
It’s pretty awesome in person! It sparkles so much more than in a picture!
Let’s chat about it in the comments!
