🌊May 2024 Theme:
Mermaids (and Mermen) Around the World 🧜♂️🌏🧜♀️
(Open for Submissions:
May 1 - May 15)
🌏 Celebrate the diversity of mer-people from every corner of the globe.
From patterns that reflect traditional cultural styles to modern interpretations, show us your unique take on global mermaid styles through your nail art. Get creative and let your designs swim across cultures and diverse lifestyles. We want you to showcase not just aquatic beauty, but also express diversity and imagination! 🪼
✨To help spark your creativity and generate manicure ideas, you could start with some of these questions:
- What kind of nails would a mermaid/merman wear in a culture I'm inspired by?
- Are there other cultural mythical creatures or folklore that might interact with this mermaid/merman?
- What type of aquatic environment does this mer-person inhabit (e.g. coral reef, deep sea, coastal waters)? Should I incorporate elements of this environment into the nail art?
