Under the Sea

Today's nails are underwater themed! I love the sea and anything to do with it and when trying to come up with something to do for today's post, I saw Models Own Peacock Green and immediately knew what I was going to do.

 

I used two coats of Models Own Peacock Green for the base colour. I adore this colour as every time I see it I think of the sea! The formula was very smooth and easy to apply and dried quickly. I also love Model's Own as I think they are great for glitter and duochrome polishes. I especially love their Beetlejuice collection.  

I then stamped using Barry M Gold Foil on Bundle Monster plate 209. There is only one word for this stamping: messy! But don't worry, it's meant to be like that. I tried to imagine fishing nets underwater and I thought if it looked perfect it wouldn't be as realistic, so I stamped at different angles and didn't cover the full nail. I think it worked out in a haphazard way!

I then painted on a glitter polish that my friend brought back to me from France, so I'm not sure of the brand. It consists of small blue circular glitters and silver and green stars. The little blue glitters remind me of bubbles.  It reminds me of an underwater scene, although I'm not sure why the stars remind me of the sea.

I finished with a coat of Seche Vite, my go-to top coat!

 I love these nails as there is a lot going on in them and I think of fish and mermaids and the deep green-blue sea every time I look at them!
