Nail Art Inspired By.....Cover FX Highlighter

Back in the day I did a little series called "Inspired By", where I would do nail art that was inspired by something fun: fashion, makeup, food - whatever tickled my fancy.

I'm a big fan of the Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in 'Halo'.  I'm down for a fun, weird, alien-like mermaid-y highlight!
