These beauties may just be the most amazing Mermaid glitter nails ever! Let’s just jump into it and say I have a lot of glitter. I f there is such a thing. I have ALWAYS LOVED glitter so becoming a nail technician and mua (makeup artist) on occasion it was the PERFECT way for me to add glitter on everything and everyone!

Blue sky gel top coat
There is something about encapsulated glitter that makes me weak at the knees (yup, I just said that, weird I know) But if you were a TRUE Glitter addict , and I mean real hardcore glitter lover, then you know deal. This nail features encapsulated ‘mermaid tail‘ glitter from Glitterplanetuk and Swarovski crystals (because crystals and sparkles are LIFE).
You will be glad to know that I did actually include a full demo on how I create the encapsulated 3d flowers. I absolutely adore them. If done right 3d art can take a set of nails from drab to fab.
AURORA PIGMENT
Now, let’s get onto this AMAZING MAGICAL pigment. Which by the way really is magic! It transforms any colour you apply the pigment over into an exquisite array of colour shifting shades that literally look like they were made by unicorns (for unicorns, obv). I applied the Aurora pigment over the top of a pale mint green (the same colour as the flower) on the little finger and the effect is STUNNING.
