So excited, I did the first phase of my mermaid shoot with my new merberry tail earlier this month. finally got some edits in (more on the way this week!) and i HAD to show them off!

Phase two of the shoot will consist of some underwater natural looks and also some awesome SFX looks with prosthetic gills and all that jazz.
can't wait!

if anyone is wanting to try the gold leaf technique- we learned that once you have applied all the leafing (with some strong hairspray as a base) to go over it with some high quality eyelash adhesive that dries clear to keep the flakes from coming up in the wind or water. it'll still say shiny but it'll stay secure :-)

it can get very difficult so make sure you have someone there experienced to help you and always have a supply of wet wipes to wipe up the residue on fingers in between applications :)
