Sea Creatures

There are so many plates out there with all types of sea creatures that you'll never have the same look twice. It is a very busy mani but I just love all the colors and the gradient is my favorite. 

My base gradient is made up of Essie's St. Tropez and Zoya's Harbor. I am a little rusty when it comes to gradients but I will just keep practicing. 

The white waves are from BM-509 with Mo You White Knight. On my thumb the jellyfish is stamped from UberChic Beach Please with Mo You August Plum and Pink Wednesday. Narwal on pointer is from UberChic mini nautical with Black Knight. Sea Horse is August Plum from Beach Please. Hammerhead shark is from mini nautical again with Black Knight. The sea turtle is from Mo You Princess 04 with Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery.

Jaws Nails

This has got to be my favorite mani I have done in a very very long time. I have been shying away from gradients and now that's all I want to do.

I recently ordered some of the new Zoya summer collection and the two blues just screamed ocean to me. The bright turquoise, which is undoubtedly my favorite, is called Harbor while the deeper blue is Maren.

The shark design on the new Uberchic Beauty Just Beachy plate is just perfect for Jaws nails. 

The grey is Mo You London Silver Fox, the black is Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, the white is Mo You White Knight, and I added the red last minute which is Cirque Colors Strawberry Fields.

Shark Fin Nails

I won't say a lot about these but I just had to share my nails for Shark Week. Everyone is doing the same look with a open mouth shark. I kind of wanted to do something a little dark and not the norm.

When I googled shark fins I came across a few photos where it had just the fin visible with a nighttime background. Instantly I knew it was something I wanted to try.

My sharks are the white tipped sharks. I like how they have this white little cap on top of their fin. The great white will forever be my favorite thanks to Jaws but for the sake of this look I wanted to do a lesser known shark.

Each nail shows less and less fin, it is supposed to look like the shark is submerging underwater. The look didn't quite turn out how I had imagined in my head but it is pretty darn close considering this was my first attempt.

With glossy topcoat

It is hard to explain what I did to achieve this look. I went back and forth with Color Club's Bell Bottom Babe and Opi's Eurso Euro with a sponge to get this night sky/water look. The rest was all acrylic paint. Once done I added a regular topcoat to seal in everything but I decided it would look better matte.

Polishes used: Duri Rejuvacote, Opi Eurso Euro, and Color Club Bell Bottom Babe as base colors
Top coats: Inm Out the Door and Essie Matte About You

Hope you all are having a wonderful day
