Yes it's is the single color tail, I was so estates when they said they would allow me one more color! In the end I payed a little over 2k for the tail for everything I wanted but it was worth it

Excited*

[Mermaid Kelda]

Was the 2k just including the extra fins?

[MerQueen Nerissa]

Oh my starfish Nerissa, the tails you made are gorgeous! I really love the fluke shape of the first one!

You should make more when time/finances/energy allow! (:

Thanks! I'm actually planning on selling tails like those since there doesn't seem to be many affordable realistic tails to get people started out!

Here's my first photos in my new MerNation tail I received Jan 6. I'll post more once I get a chance to wear it again and especially when I swim for the first time. I'll be sure to have on my top lol I was so excited I forgot to put it on and didn't realize it until I was already in the tail haha. For those who dont know already, I have more photos of the tail on my Facebook page and instagram. Links on my profile. Also have an unboxing video on my youtube channel. Link also on my profile. Absolutely Love my tail! MerNation outdid themselves as always

@SeaVixen

What exactly went wrong with your dorsal??

@SeaVixen

Nothing "went wrong" on MerNations end. It left their hands in perfect condition. The mail people took it out of the box and bags and tore it up slightly. Luckily they made it thicker and used a harder silicone so it didn't tear as bad as it could have been. Definitely won't rip off! I have the silicone to repair it. If the mail people hadn't have messed with it then it would have been fine. I have no idea what exactly they did to tear it because I tried cutting my scale bracers open and they put up a huge fight so unless they took a knife to it I don't see how it ripped and no one will confess what happened. (Scale bracers didn't fit so I tried to see if I could make them bigger but couldn't) the bracers were a surprise gift. I'm just glad my fins weren't thin and fragile or they would have come off.

You look so cute SeaVixen! Your tail colors make me think of candy!

Also I hope that you get some kind of compensation from the post office.

[MermaidMichelle]

I'm very sorry to read that there were so many mishaps, SeaVixen. Perhaps a knife really was taken to your dorsal, though unintentionally. Anyway, your tail is nice and candy-coloured and beautiful! I can understand how awkward it would be to try putting your top on after you were already stuck in your tail, but the way you look in your photo it's as if you just transformed as the result of an accidental splash!

[Mermaid Leira]

Hi guys,

do you remember my selfmade silicone dragon style mermaid tail and top? I know it has been a while and I apologize for let you wait so long for the promised swimming video. I didn´t like the idea of uploading it at YouTube because of the poor video quality, but now I did nevertheless. So, FINALLY you can watch me testing out my tail in public...

wow how did I miss this video, I can't believe it's your first it's gorgeous! Did you make a tail making thread?

Thank you and I hope so. The person responsible should own up to it. MerNation is working on a claim because they had insurance on it. I sent pictures of the box and tail damage. Don't know which state it happened in. They had no business opening it in the first place. I hope it scared them to death lololll

Haha didn't even think of that. That is cute! I didn't want anyone walking in on me top less seeing as I was in the living room lol. It was laying right there in reach but oh well. Ha I should have put it on over my shirt lol! Me being silly. I do explain in the video about the mail incident and show the damage but I was still happy and excited nonetheless. One of those unexpected things. I wish I could have picked it up myself to avoid idiot mail people

[SeaNymph]

Thank you very much, Amy! Glad you like it. Yes, it was my first tail attempt, but had some sculpting and painting experience before. Nevertheless I did a lot of SPFX material training, testing and constructing of small silicone things before starting a whole tail that would match my own expectations and taste ;-)
No, sorry, I did not make a tailmaking thread, it's just here :-)

[Aziara]

Wow, I missed that video too. Glad it got reposted, I love that sea dragon tail!

[MerShasha]

My new fabric tail , now i must do the paintwork and glue diamonts on :-D

[MermaidMichelle]

C'est belle! That wispy dorsal fin catches the light well and should look great underwater, too!

[Merenneito Nerissa]

Seavixen that's soooooo beautiful tail!!! :O Wow, really amazing... And I just can't imagine how you felt when you realized the damage the postal office did, for real.. How can they do that?? I mean, ok yeah, they search for drugs and stuff but come on, you can't do that without destroying things...? I really hope you'll get something back from them. But all the work those guys have done, I man mernation, woww... They're so skilled, omg.. I didn't even know. There's now one more tailmaker on my list where I consider to ordering my full silicone one when I can afford. Amazing work!

I don't know why they opened it at all. They didn't for other people. MerNation sent close up pictures of the tail and it was perfect and they sent pictures of the box before shipping and it was perfect. USPS is employee a bunch of cruel heartless people who doesn't care about others stuff. I would like to confront the person responsible and make them pay $250
