Okay but I’m literally writing this from my balcony in the middle of the Atlantic right now and my current personality trait is 100 % mermaid.
So obviously my nails had to match the vibe. I went full psycho on Pinterest the second I booked the trip and saved every single iridescent, shimmery, ocean-obsessed set known to mankind.
Mermaid nails aren’t a want… they’re a need when you’re surrounded by water 24/7. Fight me.
Here are the mermaid nails that have me acting extremely unwise at sea — save them before I book round two ♡
20+ Mermaid Nails That Have Me Ready To Flop Back Into The Ocean
Full Mermaid Chrome in Teal & Purple Shift
This chrome shifts teal-purple-green depending on the light and I almost fell off my lounge chair the first time the sun hit it. Actual mermaid scales on my fingers.
Iridescent Glitter Bomb with Real Seashell Pieces
Tiny real crushed shells + holo glitter packed so tight it looks wet 24/7. I got these the day we boarded and a lady at the buffet literally grabbed my hand and said “HOW”. Icon behavior.
Turquoise to Aqua Ombre with Silver Scales
That perfect Caribbean-water ombre with hand-painted silver scale details. Every time I hold my piña colada up for a pic it looks like I photoshopped myself into the ocean.
Pearl Chrome French Tips with 3D Bubbles
Pearl chrome french but with tiny 3D clear bubbles floating up the nail. I’m obsessed. Looks like I just surfaced from the deep.
Holographic Mermaid Tail French
The tips are shaped like little mermaid tails with holo scales. So extra and I love it.
Clear Jelly Nails with Floating Glitter & Starfish
Looks like someone bottled the ocean and put it on my nails. The glitter moves when I wiggle my fingers — I can’t stop staring.
Emerald Green Chrome with Gold Flakes
Deep-sea emerald chrome with real gold leaf floating in it. I wore these to the casino and won $80… the nails paid for themselves.
Opal Mermaid Aura Nails
White opal base that flashes pink, green, blue… like a real pearl. So magical I almost threw my phone overboard trying to take pics in the sunset.
Blue-Purple Galaxy Mermaid with Holo Stars
Galaxy but make it underwater. The holo stars look like bioluminescent plankton and I’m living for it.
Seafoam Glitter Ombre with 3D Pearls
Seafoam green glitter fade with actual 3D pearls scattered like treasure. Every time I wave at the dolphins they wave back (probably).
Anyway I’m fully convinced I’m turning into a mermaid at this point and these nails are the final stage of transformation. Which one are you stealing for your next beach trip?? Tell me in the comments because I need more enablers in my life 🧜♀️✨
