Wow !!! it's beautiful :) I love your iridescent white tail !
I have come across these photos before and i have to say i love EVERYTHING about your mermaid look
whoaaaa---- that white tail is stunning-- and I LOVE the top!
ahhhh all of you look so incredible!
These are great, all! I'll have to back-track to check the older photos in this thread. Ilonka, looks like I'm not the only mer with a white tail. Good to see Delphine has cousins. XD You look fin-tastic! Love the white & iridescent theme! What did you use as skin adhesive to stick your sequin-scales on? I had looked into a special skin glue, however could not find one that still works underwater. In your look, the scales (in your tail & on your skin) are one of my favorite parts! :) The silvery-white wig is lovely, like moonlight. Funny enough, I'd also considered one, however didn't want to deal with swimming in a wig. Anyone on here have experience doing that?
Today, I had my "official" underwater shoot, though my makeup is.. well, my makeup artist described as "like a watercolour." I love it & will share photos soon. I have to take a look at how they turned out & watch the video clips. Perhaps I can make a gif? Although I've never made one, I have seen some cool merfolk ones on MN before.

The glue i used isnt waterproof (although the makeup seller claimed it was) Its Mehron brand, most of my special FX makeup products are either from them or Ben Nye, they make the best and most affordable special FX supplies.
The best way to wear a wig underwater is to braid your hair (like in corn rows) and pin the wig onto your braids OR use a silicon swim cap and punch holes into it using hair pins to pin the wig onto it. Basically you need an anchor for allot of pins to keep the wig on. In most of my underwater shoots I have used extensions, i definately recomend using clip ons over a wig, less of a hastle.
Cant wait to see your pics!
We did our photos for the book shoot today. We decided to get some extra shots for promo purposes, here's a few!

I LOVE the bad mermaid one. would have been better if it was topless and everyones hair was super crazy and make up running down the cheeks lol...
Thanks Krystal ! yeah was a bit spur of the moment due to weather changes but was great fun - some of the girls got quite intimate in their shots and were very seductive with each other looked awesome !
I also love the mermaids in the tub shoot! :D
Also, RayeBlonde, your tail is just so gorgeous. <3 Mertailor has really stepped up the tailmaking! Have you gotten the monofin issue worked out?
Rayblonde It's a wonderful H2O's tail !!! Love it :)
Raina the cove for your book is a success !
Funny mermaid pictures Mélanie ^^
I had a photoshoot in Belgium this weekend with the first silicone mermaid tail i have made :)

Claire it looks amazing!
Wow, great shots, all! And Claire, how long did it take you to finish your silicone tail. That seemed sooo fast!!!
Ilonka, thanks for all the wig & glue tips!
I started in January, I spent a lot of time to make my foam's scales board and my molds, and after that approximately 2/3 weeks to finish the rest of the tail ^^
But I had to hurry because I had a photo shoot this weekend! I thought I'd never make it !
congrats again Claire!
Thanks Claire and Emma. ^___^Quote:

My feet actually have giant cuts on the top lol.
Like I said Claire, that is a DAMN good tail for you making it your first time.
You hid the seam with the dorsal fin, correct?
Love the bad mermaid shoot haha so awesome.
Thanks again Krystal !
Rayeblonde, which color will be your new tail ?
The dorsal fin hide a zip :) I think it's much more convenient having a zip to wear a tail ! The bad point is I need help to close it ^^
Photoshoot looks great
I didn't even know you could use a zipper on a silicone tail. Is it pure silicone? Or does your tail have a backing on it behind the silicone? I just don't know about a zipper because of the possibility of it breaking.
I'm not sure which color yet I can't decide. :/
I have spandex behind the silicone, my zip is sewn to spandex and silicone and seams are reinforced with more silicone ! For now it works ^^
I wonder... could you use a swimcap and coat it in e600 while it's on and carefully apply the wig over the top (i'd braid all the hair up out of the way)?Quote:

Just had a mermaid sighting with Courtney Mermaid yesterday and this is one of the photos she took. I'm super excited to see the rest, since this one turned out gorgeous!
Finally got some non-pool pics in my tail!! These were taken at/near the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye in Scotland :)

The two middle ones are small and crappy to avoid stretching the page a bunch--please view them in full and 4 other pictures here!!
It was super cold, but definitely worth it! I made a makeshift monofin out of craft foam, duct tape, and flip flops to use for the shoot instead of buying a new one and having it shipped :)
EDIT: Oh, it did a weird thing with sizing anyway?? Maybe because I didn't have them "referenced locally" because that just gave me a whole bunch of problems : / Anyway, click the link for the nice bigger images :)
GORGEOUS! I love your tail so much!
So pretty Jade!! <3
Thanks!! I'm really happy with how they turned out. It was my first time trying to sort of model in it, haha. I need to figure out poses to do in it ahead of time for the next time...
You have such a pretty smile! And your tails' colors just go together so well. SO pretty! <3
I find it pleasantly surprising that there is this HUGE, disproportionate percentage of beautiful people in this community :group hug:
Yay! Thank you! I have some more on my FB page, www.facebook.com/mermaidharmony I'm super excited about them all!
Beautiful, Harmony! <3
I need to figure out how to put my pics up here. =.=
