Allo polish Pals!
I hope you are all
doing great, did you have an exciting weekend? Of course I know some
of you are still celebrating July 4th so I hope you are
having a fantastic time, stay safe and have fun!
Today's post has a
little gooey warm spot in my heart because I got to collaborate with
a really dear friend. I met Dani aka Stormysway79 on IG, around the beginning of the year
when I was invited by another naily to join her Facebook page,
Tiny Canvas. Dani owns the page and it is a wonderful
community with a fantastic friendly vibe.
Dani does a fantastic
job at keep the page going, posting optional weekly challenges
(there's a new one each week and its not mandatory to enter but the
themes are so good they end up giving me new ideas to paint!) Not only that, but Dani is also responsible for
creating so many friendships in the nail community and for bringing
people together. She works incredibly hard and I am so proud and
happy to have met her! She's got a kickass sense of humor too ;)
So when she
suggested doing a nail collaboration how could I resist?! Our
chosen theme was mermaids, you'll see our inspiration picture below.
I am in love with Dani's version! I can't say so
much about mine, Haha, I struggled!

For my version of this
nail art I began with my usual base coat of OPI's 'Nail Envy' and
once dry applied Claire's 'Splash' (Suitably named for this mani,
huh?) From there on I moved onto my acrylics and created a very rough
and choppy background using blues and greens. I decided to do my
mermaid on my thumb so I could try and fit more detail in...
Probably the worst idea ever Because my fingers can't bend
the way they need to to join her up.. so she looks a bit drunk!
I'm quite disappointed
with how my version came out (this was my second attempt but I am
still dealing with the blurry eyes so I will go easy on myself!) I'm
so glad I did this collab because Dani is awesome and it was fun to
do!
Don't forget to go
check out her page, follow her! Give her some love, her freehand is
fantastic!
If you are looking for a friendly place full of nail art, where you can post your nail art and join in weekly challenges (winner gets to have their art as the group header for the week) and make new nail art friends go take a look at Tiny Canvas.
How do you
think we did? Have you had mermaid nails before?
Have a beautiful day,
I'll catch you again on Monday!
Love
Ithi
