Some polishes my have been received in PR - this post contains affiliate links
So, we are keeping the July #CBBxManiMonday theme of "glitter" going for this week, and I went with more of a shimmery/glittery base polish for my Shark nails!
But, if you want actually Glitter Shark nails, make sure you check out my Shark Week nails from last year because I did glitter sharks and they looked amazing!
Okay, so maybe I'm stretching the glitter theme this week - this base polish is Essence Out Of Space Stories polish in Mermaid of the Galaxy and it is described as sky blue teal shimmer, so not full on glittery; but, it's so pretty! If you want to see this and some of the Out Of Space Stories polishes swatched, you can check them out here!
For this Mani, the products I used are:
-Essence Out Of Space Stories nail polish in "Mermaid of the Galaxy"
-ORLY Instant Artist in Jet Black
-ORLY Instant Artist in Crisp White
-Pretty Woman nail polish in I Can't Deal
-OPI polish in Candied Kingdom
-nail dotting tool
To create this manicure, I applied nail cleanser, base coat and two coats of the blue base polish. Then I created two sharks on accent nails: using the grey polish, I created a triangle shape on my nails. Then I created a half circle with a red polish for a mouth. Using the white nail art polish I outlined the shark shape, outlined the mouth shape and created little teeth. Plus using the nail dotting tool with the white polish I dotted on eyes, and followed up with the small dotting tool and black polish for pupils.
Then for the Baby Shark writing, I freehanded it with the white nail art polish - I just used the tip of the art polish brush with most of the polish removed and a really gentle hand! I also went over it twice, so the white was opaque. It might be a touch messy; but, I think it looks cute!
Hope you all enjoying Shark Week! Make sure to check out Cosmetic Proof, Prairie Beauty Love, and Tea & Nail Polish to see what they came up with for their glitter nails this week!
