Nail art blue mermaid tail

Today's Autism nails represent a mermaid tail.

Before painting I had no clue what to do.

I simply displayed some of my blue polishes on my table and while looking at them they spoke for themselves...MERMAID.

Well, I'm not so good in painting faces so I only went for the tail.

 

I actually used some extra shimmer and holo glitter topcoat but because of a lack of sunlight I couldn't catch them on camera :(

 

My list of used polishes is way too long so I'm not even getting there :D

 

Here are 2 pictures of my free handed 'blue' mermaid tail nail art.

 

 

 

 

 

Blue water marble nails for Autism

In my last give-away I've asked people what they wanted to see in my next nail arts.

I found this very useful as it not only gives me ideas for next art but also what people want to see.

 

A few times they asked for a water marble.

 

To be honest:

I love the look of water marble nails!

 

But I hate the frustrations that it is giving me.

First 'the polishes'; not all of them work well for water marbling.

Second 'the design'; it almost never ever ends up the way I had in mind.

Third 'the outcome'; mysterious appeared bubbles, open spaces, awful design.

And last but not least 'the clean-up'; and this is with tape!

 

So, today's autism mani is quite perfect IMAO ;D

But it took me 2 hours of redoing which is more than a detailed mani will take...

 

 

 

For these nails I've used 2 polishes:

 

- Anny 385 Blue bikini girl

- Essence Beauty Beats 02 I'm backstage

 

April is Autism Awareness month

Light it up blue!

Movement meant to shine a light on Autism.

April is Autism Awareness month and for that people all around the world are lighting it up blue to show their support.

And of course the nail community can't pass on this.

More precisely I don't even want to pass on this.

Autism is everywhere around me.

Last year I joined this Facebook group which started Paint It Blue for Autism.

It was a huge success but this year we want it to be even bigger.

Who will join me for Autism?!

 

How?

- Join the Facebook group (isn't a must but would be nice as you can show of your nails there as well)

- Post your pictures anywhere (on your regular media with #paintitblue and/or #bluenailsforautism)

That's it :D

 

 

I'll try to do as many nail arts/swatches as I possibly can.

 

Starting with a simple mani created with a nail art set that I got from H&M (fashion store).

Containing a baby blue polish called "Blue" and blue iridescent glitter.

 

 

First a swatch of the polish:

 

 

I used the glitter as a gradient. Except for the accent nail which is all glitter.
