Mermaid Nails

I haven't posted for a couple of weeks - sorry! I don't even have any reasons. I've been doing my nails, just not posting. 

Anyway, here is what I have on right now, some mermaid fish-scale nails using more of my stencils from Whats Up Nails. 

I started with a base of Barry M Pacific, which is a greeny blue metallic polish. This was two coats. 

I then used the vinyls and splodged on a random pattern using 3 textured glitters: 2true Christy (silver) and Barry M VIP (blues) and Fashion Icon (purples).  The final design was very very textured, so I added one coat of Seche for a little bit of smoothness and shine. 

I really like how these came out, and they are really sparkly in the sunlight.

I think next time I would use a more contrasting base colour though, so the fish scale pattern shows a bit more clearly. Having said that, the vinyl stencils themselves are really good. I bought loads of designs, so I have lots more coming up!
