So apparently it is Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. I don't currently get the Discovery Channel, so I had no idea it was going on. I always enjoyed watching Shark Week when I had the channel, Sharks are such interesting creatures. So to celebrate, I decided to create a design inspired by Shark Week!

Polishes Used:
Zoya: Genesis and Demetria
Sally Hansen: Dive In
Loreal: Wispy Clouds and The Statement Piece
Unnamed Brand : Grey, White, and Black
NYC: Matte Me Crazy Top coat

Tutorial:

I started off with a base of Dive in on my ring finger, and Wispy Clouds on my other fingers.
Using Dive in and a sponge, I created the effect of the ocean water on my index, middle, and pinky finger.
I used Genesis and a fan brush to add depth to my ring finger, and the ocean water on my other fingers.
I used The Statement Piece to add sand to the tips of my index, middle, and ring fingers.
Then I used a grey polish and a nail art brush to paint fins on the horizons.
I used a slanted nail brush to paint the outline of the shark on my ring finger, and then filled it in.
Next I added eyes using a black polish and a dotting tool.
I then painted the base of the mouth with a white polish.
Demetria was used next to create the inside of the mouth.
All that was left was to add teeth using a small nail art brush and a white polish. (Which I failed at XD)
I finished it off with NYC Matte Me Crazy

What do you guys think? Any Constructive criticism?
