Something's Fishy

I have to get my eyes checked on today. My glasses just aren't cutting it for me any longer. I can't wait to go back and look at my nail designs, to see what they really look like. Ha-Ha!  I may have to stop blogging after that!

Even though I'm still blurry eyed, I came up with this design...
Natural Light
With Flash

I used these nails.
I've been able to use all the nails in these box by combining nails for several manis. I trimmed the sides and bottoms of the largest nails to fit my thumbs so none of the nails will go to waste.

Polishes:
 Sally Hansen HD BLU & Pixel Pretty, Sinful Colors Opal Glitter, Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud,
Kiss Nail Art Paint Soft Blue

  • I painted the french tips, filling in the curve with Lavender Cloud
  • Sponged on 2 coats of Pixel Pretty
  • Sponged on 2 coats of BLU
  • Brushed Pixel Pretty down the french tip sides, and free edge. Let dry.
  • Brushed one coat of Opal Glitter over the blues.
  • Added the fish.
  • Dotted the Soft Blue paint with a dotter.
  • Clear top coat to finish.
On one ring finger nail I added a pirate fimo and pirate booty.


Can you see the Black Pearl?



Argh, Matey!
