So the  prizes that are up for grabs include 3 categories-  

1 award voted by the picture polish friends and fans

I received

 Picture polish Attitude

Picture Polish Fairy Floss

and the NEW collab shade

Picture Polish Sea Jewel

Now you may be thinking "woah! what nail art can you do with these 3 polishes??" and honestly i saw them and although each one of these polishes in their own right are AWESOME! i just for the life of me think could not think of any nail art! i was in a total kerfuffle with 3 totally different polishes and type of finishes that they have. 

I mean i had a jelly with holo, a creme and what i would call a glass fleck finish.  

I tried a bunch of different nail art,watermarbling and cling wrap manis that i did not like before my 11 year old Zoe (and a lot of my followers know my special little girl...and for you peep out there who don't, she is just as much a polish addict as me!) said to me "Mum ! they are the colours of the little mermaid!"

I have one word for that kid! GENIUS! 

So after drawing some pictures...... and i dont know if anyone else does this but i have a black and white pic of my nails laminated which i draw on with a whiteboard marker to draw what i want before actually painting it..... anyways here are my nails inspired by Ariel The Little Mermaid.

Now so ok it is only her torso! but i have nubbins ATM and pretty much that was all that would fit! but i got her scales and her bra so i think it looks like her!!!

Now i hear you ask how did you do this??

well below is a tutorial of how to get Ariels torso on your nails......

First up you will need the following brushes.

 Pop on a base coat and then 2 coats of Picture Polish Fairy Floss.

With the medium brush paint white polish where you want the bra and mermaid tail.

I did this so that when i paint on the other colours they would pop! 

(thanks Tammy for this awesome tip)

Next With the Med brush paint 2 coats of Picture Polish Attitude 

over the white where your bra will be.

Next do the dame thing with the Picture Polish Sea Jewel where

the tail will be.

Last up with the fine brush and black polish paint in the detail.

The scales, the bra detail and lastly using the dotting tool pop on a belly button.

And lastly pop on a clear top coat.
