Well, I wrote them all down:

And I plan on going down and crossing them off! The first on the list? Mermaid inspired!
I was going to do some sort of fish scale or something but, someone suggested that as well. I did a mermaid inspired mani for an Instagram contest:

If you're looking to replicate this, I painted Essie Blue Rhapsody and Stroke of Brilliance, then I did my freehanded do-dads.
- The mermaid tail was drawn with a striping brush with Zoya Zuza and then I used Zoya Zuza, China Glaze For Audrey and China Glaze Shower Together I dotted on "scales".
- The staff was done with a striping brush and a mix of Zoya Goldie and Pippa. I also painted water on the sides and lightning bolts surrounding the staff.
- The mermaid (aka cracked out Britney Spears) was done with Zoya Farah, Perrie, Pippa and Zuza.
- The shell with the pearl was done with Zoya Arizona and a striping brush) Arizona mixed with Goldie for the darker (bottom half) and Arizona mixed with Pippa for the lighter (top half). The pearl was Sinful Colors Snow Me White with a Dan of Spectraflair top coat to add "shine".
And of course everything was topped with Seche Vite!
I hope you enjoyed this request! I have a HUGE list to go through haha :)
Until tomorrow!
