Fish Scale Turtle Nails

Hello people!

Hope you guys are doing fine.

I am back with a pretty nail art once again! Here it is.

NA#14

I agree that it looks pretty weird here, however it looks better in real than in the picture.

So let me tell you what polishes you need to get this design.

I was inspired by my mom's new pet for this design. No its not a fish, mum bought a turtle :D

Also I bought this whole new range of nail splatters from Maybelline NewYork Color Show nail enamels (Am a big fan of Maybelline!!!) that I thought I should use.

So the polishes I've used here are both from Maybelline, the shades being

1. Fantasea green- a very pretty lichen green color as base coat for the design
2. Unmellow Yellow(from Maybelline 'Go Graffitti' range)- a very pretty graffitti nail paint with black and green hexes and splatter in a clear base.
3. A white nail art pen to draw the fish scales.

SO let's get started.

The design is pretty easy to do, but once it's done it looks complicated. So to make it easier, I've shown the steps in the picture above.

So first paint your nails with the shade Fantasea green(a good two coats) and let it dry. This color gives the design the turtle color. Now once the base coat is dry, start off with the fish scales.

To do the fish scales you would require a nail art pen. A tooth pick or even a nail art brush would do, but the nail art pen gives a good precisioned design, making it look more like a stamp or sticker design.

I have used the white nail paint for the scales since that would look bright on the dull colored base coat. Draw the scales on your nails as you normally draw with a pencil on paper. Start off from the tip of the nails.

Let the design dry completely. 

Now apply a coat of the splatter nail paint 'Unmello Yellow' just to give it the glittery look. You can skip this if you wish to keep it simple and just apply a top coat to finish the look.

Hope you guys like the design!

Have a great weekend ahead.
