Mermaid Barbie

The title relates to what these nails remind me of, the stamp would probably be better suited a cool colour range, in aqua or turquoise I am thinking these would look like a mermaids tail, in the hot pinks I used it looks a bit odd!

 
The base is Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine in Dragon Fruit with Pomegranate used for the stamping.


 
Over the top of that I added a coat of CND Effects Raspberry Sparkle.


 
Overall, it's quite a pretty look but I am annoyed that I didn't use this stamp with other colours for an under the sea themed look.

  2. I once had a bright idea to stamp using Pomegranate... but it was the exact same colour as the rubber pad so I couldn't really see if the image had transferred correctly.

    1. I have an XL Stamper which is white so it shows up fine, but I still swap back to my Konad stamper when I stamp white for exactly the same reasons, it's impossible to stamp if you can't see where the image is!

  3. I really like this colour scheme, although I do agree an underwater theme would be amazing.

  4. It would look nice with other colours but I like the pink also. What stamp did you use?
