Starfish Nail Art Plus Tutorial with Picture Polish Marine for Digit-al Dozen Animal Week

Product(s) provided for review.
Hi all!
It's piCture pOlish Friday again, only it's Saturday. My boy hasn't been feeling well, so I'm a little late to post. I have the beautiful piCture pOlish Marine today, which was provided for review. I decided for the last day of Digit-al Dozen Animal Weel I needed to dress up Marine with starfish!! :D
piCture pOlish can be purchased from piCturepOlish.com and other retailers in the piCture pOlish network.  USA price is $12.50 and it will be available at piCture pOlish on-line for AUD$10.00.

 Two effortless coats of Marine started this manicure. This polish was a dream to apply and is a perfect aqua/teal blue. Love it. These show it without top coat.

Next, I'll show you the steps I took to make this. I used a gel pen which I read about on Alice from One Nail To Rule Them All's Instagram. Great idea to make thin lines!! Getting the starfish just right was the hardest part of this mani, luckily, if you don't like it, you can pretty much swipe it off the nail and start over :)


 Then I used Zoya Purity to fill in the starfish using a small nail art brush from Born Pretty Store - full review to follow!!
 I painted in my colors and then got to work with the details. This mani uh..took a while! Here's the bunch of colors I used. Feel free to ask if you see one you'd like the name of.
The finished version without top coat:

 The following two photos with Seche Vite top coat:

 And finally..with matte top coat. Liked it best like this. How about you?

 This mani is so much fun, I still have it on right now. I'll have to re-do it for a beach day this summer :P The big one on my ring finger is my fave. Followed by the little lavender guy clinging to the corner of my index. Lol 

Lastly I put together an easy picture tutorial. Hope it helps you recreate it if you want :D
 

 Hope you have a great weekend!!
xo, Victoria

    The end product looks great, but I would never have the steady hands to pull it off. You should see some of the messes I come up with.
