I used China Glaze Liquid Crystal on all the nails. I took scale nail stencils from Vinyl It Up and applied them after making sure the base was dry. I sponged on OPI Mermaid's Tears and before the polish dried, I peeled the nail vinyl off. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.
I accidentally applied the nail stencil on the opposite direction on my ring nail but it kind of works as an accent nail here. Next time, I'll probably try sponging on the glitter instead since the creme polish did cover quite a bit of the glitter polish here. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteThanks Sara. I do too!
DeleteMermaid tears is lovely. The glitter peaking through is so pretty and keeps it nice and toned down.
ReplyDeleteThanks and I'm happy to hear you liked the manicure! :)
DeleteI love your mani. I like the glitter being under the creme - some of the glitter bits show thru. Now I am thinking I need that China Glaze!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I would have preferred more glitter showing through but I'm happy to hear everyone else seems to like this manicure. The glitter polish is really great, you should pick one up if you can.
DeleteVery pretty!

Deletemore scales! I totally wish I would've done scales!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Give it a try when you can next time :)
DeleteI actually really love the combo for this manicure, Mermaid tears was my favorite from that collection! I think it looks great that the scales outline are the glittery part.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that. Thanks a lot! :)
DeleteI love Mermaid's Tears! I wouldn't have thought to put the creme over the glitter but I agree... I like the glitter peeking through Mermaid's Tears :)

Thank you! :)
DeleteLove this combo! I like how by sponging over the vinyl, you can still see some of the glitter underneath as it's not totally opaque. Very nifty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cat! I did wish more glitter was showing through but I still really liked the results here.
DeleteThis is stunning with the glitter underneath! Its like a jelly sandwich!
