Pink Fish
A long, long time ago, I saw this post over at Nihrida’s blog. It’s a “fish scale” manicure, and I totally fell in love with it. At the time, I didn’t have any Konad supplies, so I just stored it in my back of my mind to try later. Well, now I finally got around to it, and of course I wanted to try a pink and purple version. Nihrida made an awesome tutorial as well, so check it out!
I started with a base of China Glaze Something Sweet, then I sponged first with China Glaze Endurance and then Milani Totally Cool. I used Konad image plate m57 and Something Sweet for the stamp. This didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted, the base color is a little bit too light to stamp over the sponging, so the fish scale effect isn’t that pronounced. It’s still kinda cute, though.
Which colors would you choose for a mani like this? I’m thinking of a blue version next…

Oh wow. I know the base is light, but I utterly love this, Solveig!
It’s gorgeous. I’d love to see your blue version!
Thanks, Nicole! I just have to figure out what to sponge over the blue, hehe…
I really love this one! The colors are so pretty! I don’t think the base color is too light for the stamp. Looks really amazing. I’m looking forward to your blue version too!
Thank you! I have to pick out my blue colors soon…
wow, kjempekult
Tusen takk!

Thank you!
Lovely!!! So well done! I may have to try something like this…
Thanks! It’s really easy!
I think you did an amazing job! Love the color combo as well. Cute but edgy at the same time. Love it! And thanks for linking back to my blog. :***
Thank you and thanks for the inspiration!
That’s cool!
Yes, I think maybe blue or green would be cool
Or… What about blue AND green!
Otroligt snyggt!!! Det här ska jag minsann också prova!
Tusen takk! Gleder meg til å se hvordan din versjon blir!
Det her var råstilig! Likte det virkelig
Gleder meg til å se hvordan det vil se ut med blått!
Tusen takk! Håper det blir like fint eller bedre neste gang.
Helt fantastiskt!
Takk skal du ha!
Sweet! Would have been cool in blue and green too i guess
Yes! That would look more like a fish, too.
