Hidden Fish

I love how this came out! I was inspired by @nailsanatomy to create a teal-toned sun-dappled underwater manicure. I started with a lighter teal, randomly dabbed on a darker teal and some blues, and then used the hairspray on white polish over water technique to create the surf. I decided that while beautiful, the design was not quite interesting enough, so I stamped on two small white fish and painted over them with a teal jelly polish to disguise them. Voila!

Colors:

~ Light teal: Emily de Molly – Glee Ridden

~ Teal: My Mood – Happy
~ Blue: Maybelline – Shocking Seas
~ Dark blue: Zoya – Ling
~ Teal jelly: Zoya – Frida
~ White: Pueen – Pure White
~ White: Sinful Colors – Snow me White
~ Fish stamp: Born Pretty – Chinese Style L003

In real life, the fish were a bit difficult to make out. In photos, they appear to be quite visible! Who knew. I may try to do a similar design again this year, as even looking at this color combination both makes me happy AND makes me want to go swimming. Enjoy!
