NAILS | "Never a Bride, Always a Mermaid" #CBBxManiMonday

Almost 5.5 years ago, my husband and I said 'I Do" (wedding post) and because our wedding was VERY small (36 people) we had the opportunity to make every element more personal which meant wedding favours that reflected who WE were. At the time, I was massively into indie polish and loved the now defunct Pretty and Polished. Well, it's not like the owner isn't around, but she has moved on from nail polish and specializes in Bohemian household things now which is sad because so many of her polishes are among my favourites. She did thermals and glitters so well that I will cherish the MANY bottles of Pretty & Polished I purchased. For our wedding, all of the women received mini bottles of nail polish from the Bridal Collection including this gorgeous teal stunner - "Never a Bride, Always a Mermaid"

Purchased by me

Can you believe that I have never even worn this shade until now?? How sad of me! This is two coats of teal and yellow-green hex glitter and as you can see it is dense AF! I added a few pearls because mermaids make me think of the ocean which makes me think of oysters, which makes me think of pearls! I added two coats of gel-like top coat to eliminate most of the grittiness from the glitter and I was good to go!
