Feel Better Jay Lynn

Hi guys, today's post is a bit different than usual.

Some of you probably heard that Jay Lynn was having some medical issues recently. Well, Meghan brought a few of us ladies together to do some manis for Jay Lynn, in the hopes that it would help her feel a bit better, and to let her know that we're wishing her a quick recovery.

We didn't have a specific design for the manis, just a coral/mint theme. All the participating ladies did a wonderful job, and Meghan put together a collage of all the manis.

For my contribution, I decided to do some mermaid nails, because we all know everyone loves mermaid manis, right? Hehe. Anyway, I started with a white base so my colors would be bright, then I did some smoosh nail decals and let them dry. I used a coral jelly and a mint polish for the decals by the way. I applied a top coat on the decals and let them dry, once dry, I picked them up one by one. I actually set the decal on my clear stamper and applied a thin coat of the mint polish before pressing on the decal onto my nail. It worked pretty well, but I recommend using some kind of liquid latex barrier, or whatever you can use for easy clean-up. The coral jelly was kind of sheer on the decals, so I added a bit more of that polish with a brush. Then, I grabbed a glitter polish, and sponged a bit on each nail. Afterwards, I double stamped on the mermaid scales with a coral creme polish, and then with a gold holo polish. On my ring finger, I used that same glitter polish from before, but I sponged it on the entire nail. Last thing to do, was to add top coat.

I'm so glad I was able to participate in this collab. A big thanks to Meghan for bringing us together and organizing this.

I hope you guys liked the mani. As always, thank you for stopping by, and until next time.
