TUTORIAL: Mermaid Scale Nail Art

Have you ever wanted to create the best mermaid nails? Here’s a super easy nail tutorial that I created for The Wonder Forest.

What You Will Need:

1. Base Coat & Top Coat (I used OPI – Start to Finish)
2. Teal Nail Polish (I used Beyond the Nail – Teal Creme)
3. Holographic Top Coat (I used Beyond the Nail – Radiant Glow)
4. Mermaid Scale Nail Guides (I used Beyond the Nail – Mermaid Scale Nail Guides)
5. Rhinestones (I got mine off eBay)

Instructions:

1. Apply base coat to all your nails.
2. Paint 1-2 layers of your teal nail polish on all your nails.
3. When completely dry, place your mermaid scale nail guides on top of your nails and press it firmly on so the sides stick to your nails.

   *NOTE: Do these next steps 1 nail at a time!*

4. Paint over the nail guide with your holographic top coat nail polish.
5. Immediate peel away the nail guide while the nail polish is still wet, then continue to do the same on the rest of your nails.
6. After completing each nail, apply a layer of top coat to each nail.
7. OPTIONAL: While the top coat is still wet, stick on some rhinestones around your nail!
