"Level up your mermaidcore nails by adding nail art to your ring finger," says Thomson. "Using a nail art pen with a fine tip, you could attempt to draw fish scales. Choose a nail art pen color that contrasts with the existing nail colors. To seal and protect the nail art, apply a final layer of clear top coat," she says. Use glittered topcoat and glue pearls on your ring fingernails. Also, a few metallic shells will give the manicure an elegant, sophisticated touch.
