Shark!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ...... Shark Nails!
This is a great way to celebrate summer and a trip to the beach with Jaws themed nails!

1st I painted my nails w/ a base of white then added a coat of OPI Into The Night from The Spider-Man Collection.

Then I did a water marble of Sally Hansen White On and Dermelect Above It, a bright sky blue color. I wanted a watery wave effect on my nails and this worked out great!

Marbled Waves Colors

I left one nail on each hand blank to paint the shark.

To get a triangle I taped off my nail and painted it grey with NYC Sidewalkers.


I outlined the triangle in black, Sally Hansen Black Out, and added dots for the eyes using a tiny paint brush. (My nail art tools are usually improvised.) I filled in a half circle at the tip of my nail in white for the teeth and painted a coat of red, Sinful Colors Ruby Ruby, inside the white and shaped the teeth by pushing the red outward with a toothpick. I'll add picks of each step when I do this again. I was way too caught up in the project and skipped a few pics.

Overall this is how the finished product looks topped with a coat of OPI Top Coat.







Love this! So fun for summer and beach time!
