The beach was deserted as she strolled
along the white sandy beach. It was 6.30pm and the tourists had
cleared off leaving the idyllic spot all for herself. She stopped by
one of the deckchairs and removed her clothing down to her swim suit.
She was glad for the calm and silence as she made her way to the
waters edge. The water was glorious, like a tepid warm bath as she
began to wade in deeper. She let herself fall back into the water and
floated on her back for a while losing herself in tranquilly...
”Oi, You there!” called a shrill but happy
voice. Huh, she thought the beach had been deserted...”Over
here!” With the shimmer of a scaley tail she could see
now who had been calling out. A beautiful young woman with the tail
of a fish that gleamed and glistened in the evening sun. Her coral
coloured hair splayed beautifully all around her in the water.
Stunned, she blinked her eyes not sure if what she was seeing could
even be true. ”Nice to meet you, my name is Ethal!”
she said reaching for a handshake. “H..Hello..My name is
Ithi. Are you... Can it be true that - ..Are you a mermaid?!"
she replied still in disbelief. ”Well I don't gots no
feets, that's for sure.” replied Ethal in an unusual
manner. ”I have to go now, My girlfriends and I are going
shoe shopping at the water outlet...its the best mall undersea. I'd
hate to keep them waiting! Maybe I will see you again sometime!”
and with a splash of her tail, she ducked under water and she watched
as the beautiful glittery scales faded out of sight and deep into the
sea.
”Ok, It was nice to meet y-...wait, what? Shoe shopping?... But
you...You don't gots no feets..I mean..You do not have any feet.. But you have a tail...shoes?
Whut..." she called out in disbelief but
the mermaid had already gone.
For this manicure I started with two
coats of Zoya's 'Charla' on my thumb, index and pinkie fingers. I
then used tape to add Essie's 'Mezermised' and once dried I stamped
using Barry M's 'Silver Foil with MoYouNail's 128 plate. To finish
these nails I added Fogan's '17' to the tips. On my middle and ring
finger I used two coats of Barry M's 'Mist' and created a ruffian
nail using Pretty Serious 'Crystal lake and topped it all of with
some blue gems.
What do you think of this
mermaid inspired manicure? Why would a mermaid be shoe shopping?
Have a great weekend!

Haha your mermaid story made me laugh! Your mermaid nails look awesome! Crystal Lake looks really pretty too :)
ReplyDeleteAww i love these mermaid nails they look so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool and unusual nail art design! Also a funny story, I've heard that mermaids can have legs during a small amount of time, like every full moon or something. During that night(s?) they can live like a human but they must get in water before the sun comes, or else they are stuck on land foreeeever. Well, that's what I learned as a child at least. ;P
