So you can do the mermaid manicure at home

The Little Mermaid is more fashionable than ever. The premiere of the film starring Halle Bailey has made the elements and tones related to the character and the ocean the protagonists of this spring-summer. In addition to the long hair with waves and colors like lilac or turquoise, the two tones that characterize the popular Disney character, there is also a related manicure that has all the numbers to succeed in the coming weeks.

This is the mermaid manicure, a technique that basically consists of painting the nails in marine colors. The networks have been filled with manicure publications in which marine elements such as shells or the scales of the tail decorate the hands.

But within this range there is also the option of iridescent manicure that recreates the pearly effect of pearls. This technique is designed for those girls who are looking for a tone that can perfectly match all kinds of shades and that is also minimalist in style.

In the nets you can see how the main color is a very light pink that, depending on the light, can be seen in whiter tones or in a mauve tone, but always with the brilliant flashes so emblematic of pearls. It is the evolution of the glazed donut nails that Hailey Bieber made fashionable last year and can be done perfectly at home.

It is enough to paint the base of the nail in a transparent or light pink tone and, once the two layers have been applied, an eyeshadow in pearly white or another iridescent shadow that we like best is placed with a sponge. The last step is to apply a coat of gloss.

Another option is the Le Mini Macaron kit (36 euros), a very simple and easy way to do a semi-permanent manicure at home. The French brand has recently launched a pearl color, with white, pink and lavender sparkles, called Pearlescence. It can be used individually as well as applied to motorcycle top coat for a pearlescent finish.
