Rock Mermaid // Iridescent Mermaid Scales Nail Art

Rock Mermaid // Iridescent Mermaid Scales Nail Art

This look came about whilst I was messing around when swatching the new Green Origin range and I noticed that the H&M Will-O-The-Wisp topper looks absolutely amazing on top of dark green/teal shades. Please excuse the chips in the next photos as I needed some daylight to capture the shift and I did the manicure at night.

I even did a video! And I'm talking in it! But I won't be posting it lol, I'm not ready yet, I did enjoy filming though as it took my mind of work and stopped me from spending every moment of my time programming. Even though I only have a small little area to film in I'm going to try and film something every Saturday as it forces me to try out new nail art techniques as well.

Back to the look though, I really loved wearing this and the shift kind of reminds me the oil slick Avon polishes that I reviewed a while ago. The white stamping could be a lot brighter as well however I'm struggling to find an opaque white stamping polish that I can easily buy within the UK. Maniology's Bam White seems to be pretty good however their shipping is $10 and I have to stay under $15 otherwise I get hit with an £9 import fee plus 20% tax. It's the same for Twinkled T as well. I think I may turn to Etsy as I've seen some interesting polishes on there from little indie brands operating in Europe.
