Aquarium Nails

Level: Advanced
Aquarium Nails are usually hollowed nails or two nails sealed together to create an "aquarium" normally filled with baby oil or water and miscellaneous beads, glitter or other pieces that fit with the theme of the nails. 

Comments:

These are two different methods for doing an aquarium nail. You can be as creative as you want with what you add both inside and outside on top of color choice! Many use the polymer clay figure pieces, beads, shaped glitter, and accent crystals. You can use dichroic film or anything else that looks fun! Add a drop of coloring to add an extra touch. You'll need an acrylic or gel building powder and brush, and your regular nail kit. If you have a nail dremel, that would help significantly for the second method.
All Glitter My World poly glitters are safe for acrylic and gel use, many are not approved for use in water, though. Check usage charts on any product you use before purchase and test if you're using glitter with oil. You do not want to use craft glitter, it can and more than likely will bleed/melt.
