Now you have to post one of you putting it on! It's so amazing!
Ahhhhhh so happy for youuuuuuu!!
Wow! I'm amazed by these two beauties :D
(and by that, I mean the tail and YOU!)
You look lovely on this video! I'm really impressed that your tail arrived in this short period of time and customs didn't even hold it for long!
I feel relieved because I hope the same thing happen with customs in France for my tail!
I gotta tell you though that from now, you gotta cut these pretty nails regularly if you wanna put on your tail without damaging it :)
Awww that was so cute congrats on getting your tail! :)
Aaaargh pure awsomeness!! <3 Lovely video! :D and yes i'm saying it again: Those hip fins! <3 :drool:
I was thinking the same thing as Arion; your long nails are gorgeous, but they could easily damage your tail (I shall probably need to cut mine in preparation for the arrival of my tail). Also, Arion, I hope that French customs are gentle with your tail (vive la France; without a hint of sarcasm because Je suis Canadien!)
That is a beautiful, informative, and clearly heartfelt unboxing video! I'm glad that you went to such detail regarding seams and material, too!
I eagerly await your tail-donning video (if you choose to make one), for I intend to do the very same thing when I receive mine! <3 :mermaid kiss:
That tail is drop dead gorgeous! And you are too cute for words! Swim in it in good health!
Awe thanks everyone :) this was one of the most exciting things that has happened to be hahah
Arion I promise I cut down my nails before putting it on haha it saddened me to do it but it's for the sake of my tail <3
heres a picture if me trying it on :) and it took me 25mins to smooth out eveything haha

You look amazing!
SO GORGEOUS! Raven just keeps on amazing us!
Wow it looks great! Absolutely perfect :)
Looks amazing!
Beautiful
Aww, Namiko, it's just perfect on you. Love the fluke shape. <3
What was that new blending technique you talked about with this tail?
The new technique is rather then a straight band across the top if the waist band after she paints the tail she puts over the top of it the nude skin tone and fades it down into the middle colours of the tail which helps give a realistic transition from skin to fish tail <3 it's awesome haha
Very nice!
How is the fit, Namiko? :D
The fit is really tight lol a bit hard to get over my bum but it's perfect lol
Glad to hear that :DQuote:

I feel like this might be a silly question but what is the difference between and basic and a hybrid and a professional tail?

See the Merbellas FAQ and Tails descriptions for the difference between performance tails and basic tails.
A hybrid is only full silicone for the body of the tail, and the fluke is a basic fluke (neoprene with silicone on top, not molded like performance tail flukes).
Ah, thank you Iona C:
It's cool to see another mermaid with a blended waist. <3 U look gorgeuzzzzz :mermaidkiss:
How much are the hybrids???
Hey, Namiko, if you need any tips on getting it over your butt, message me. I have a big back and have a technique for getting over it. XP
Also, I heard you say "Watered down conditioner", I don't think that's something you're supposed to use? I've been told and read that only water based personal lubricant should be used.
Also, you are adorable!!! And your tail is very pretty. :3 Your cats will be so confused for a while. XD
(Sorry for double posting. I'm really tired.)
Yes, the kitties may need to work on the transition between "owner" and "large prey animal"! You look lovely in that tail on the towel; I picture myself looking like that in my donning video and I can only hope to look so fine! :mermaid kiss:
As per advice, I sent Raven a message telling her that I would be ready to order my tail in October and that I hoped she had spots open for me at that time. I'm hoping to still shrink before then. I got this in return:
I'm like... so excited I'm in tears.Quote:
hey Melissa! Whenever you are ready darlin' October would be fine but I will always advise the sooner the better just because it is a little hard for me to gauge the work load so far ahead. I promise I will be ready whenever you are because I am so very excited (and honored) to make you a tail! I love your beautiful fabric tails so much and I think you are such a beautiful mermaid I would just LOVE to see you in one of my works:) <3 Raven
Now, I just gotta focus on the three problem areas on my body: back, arms, tummy. If I have a big rear for the tail... oh well. It comes with a pear-shaped body.
That's awesome, LO! I'm glad you're pretty much guaranteed a spot for one of Raven's tails. You work so hard; you totally deserve it. Raven's a total sweetheart too, especially with helping you create a vision of what you want. As for the big booty thing, well, I also have a lot of junk in the trunk :p But I'm sure it'll just make your 'tail' that much more appealing. (Bad jokes I know, but congrats!)Quote:

So excited for you Little Orca it's gonna be amazing :)
Ah! That's wonderful, Merlissa! You completely deserve it for working so hard! Do you have a design in mind yet?

I am reworking one. I've had an idea for one for a few years now but I have been wary to show it off for fear of a direct copy (versus just someone using similar colors.)
NSo happy for you! <3 You deserve it!!Quote:

(Also, I'm working on something special for Raven and Taylor.)
No, I contacted her another way, which I apologized for in case it was the wrong way to do so. *giggle*Quote:
