A Weekly Dose of Rainbows: Rainbow Mermaid

 Purchased By Me / Giveaway Prize / Press Sample 

Happy Thursday guys! So today's theme for A Weekly Dose of Rainbows was one I definitely couldn't pass up. Rainbow Mermaid! I think I could've done a better mani, but I still like how it came out.

I started off with a dark blue-green as my base color for my index, middle and pinky; and on my ring finger I went with an amazing glitter filled blue jelly polish. Since I was going to use vinyls, I added a layer of top coat on my index and middle finger and let it dry completely. Once dry, I added the vinyl and then a coat of Avalon 2.0 over that. Then I took off the vinyl while the polish was still wet. I decided to sponge on some flakies on my pinky, and I added some loose glitter on top while the polish was still tacky. When everything dried I added the final layer of top coat, and then completed the look by placing the studs and rhinestones on my nails. I was very excited to finally use some of the beach-y studs I had on hand.
