I created a little underwater scene for this mani. For the base I used OPI Can't find my czech-book. I then layered two coats of Dance Legend flakie Avada Kedevra - which is a green to blue flakie in a very pale blue tinted base. It is from the Dance Legend Lumos collection and has the small LED light in the cap.
I created the seahorse using Messy Mansion plate MM29, where I stamped in black and while it was still on the stamper, I coloured it in. Once that was dry, I painted Seche Vite top coat on that nail - counted to 20 and then pressed the stamp onto my nail. The polish is just perfecly tacky at that point and nicely adheres the coloured in stamping design.
On the other fingers I used Moyou Sailor 04 plate and stamped the curly seaweed design on the bottom part of my nail.
I love how this mani shifted between looking green and blue, and the seahorse was a really bright accent. I actually googled seahorse images and discovered that most of them are yellow and orange in colour.
