I love to embellish things so I had to beautify my "Venus magictail" by adding fins and a long fluke.Attachment 38467

Omg where did you get the fabric for that tail!?! It's stunning!!! 😍

[J.Nigma]

My current tail is from SyrenStudios. She's just shy of being a year old. I wanted Abe Sapien inspired stripes, I'm wine/burgundy tones.

That fluke is beautiful!!! 💖

[Lilyrose Fish]

The tail skin is from Magictail of Germany. They have other similar tails too in different colors. I added the fins and lengthened the fluke. I love their tail skin colors but their monofins don't give much propulsion. It is very hard to move forward doing a nice undulation. Instead with this tail, I find myself having to bend at the knees and give a very pronounced strong kick from the knees to move forward. It looks so beautiful in photos, but for video I am going to retrofit the magictail skin to fit my mahina.

I have my MagicTail for now...this was a pic I snapped of it last summer by the pool...I really need to take some good photo's in it, but I am about to start working on my silicone tail as soon as I experiment with my monofin idea and then order the rest of the supplies!

I can't remember if I shared but here is my second attempt at a tail for my daughter it is spandex base with silicone caulk over it she is using a merfin inside the fluke

Mermaid Caspiana, I'm afraid there's not much you can do to keep the Mylar from detaching from the sequins. Latex well make you look like Daryl Hannah in Splash when they had her in the tank and she was wasting away. Robert Short, the sfx/tailmaker told us that's what he used to get that effect.

Unfortunately, that's the nature of iridescent sequins. The coating peels off the pvc sequin. You're probably better off going back and hand sewing the sequins to your substrate (powermesh). Otherwise they will continue to peel off. Sorry!

Mermaid Athena, you look amazing! That's so cool that you got to meet Shatner! What did he think? I LOVE that purple on black!

1.) MYLAR! Oh my God it's been ages and I could not for the life of me think of the term. Haha
2.) I just now saw this reply. Lol Luckily I found a solution that has worked literal wonders since then. Hehe But thanks for the input anyway! <3

[Mermaid Caspiana]

Wow. I thought I had updated my tail and the whole sequins issue. Haha Oops. Anyway, I used silicone as a coating and it's literally exactly what I was looking for. It's worked wonderfully and the only trouble spots are where I got the silicone too thin. Other than that its so amazing and I'm so in love with it. <3 So here are a few of my favorite shots from my Myrtle Beach Photo shoot a the beginning of the month.







And a few from my pool hehe:

It retained all of it's sparkle (plus the crap ton I added hehe) and feels so cool. I'm so happy with it. <3

Looks Beautiful! I just got mine too.

I finally got to go swim in my fabric tail yesterday! I have a couple in the works bc my DIL is a costumer and is helping to make me some lovely tail covers. I have a Mahina, so I knew it may be hard to find fitted covers on the open market. I did decide to try a Mertailor Ecotail, leggings, and bra top. I thought they looked great together yesterday!

I have never inserted a pic here, I am going to try one, and see if I figured it out before I try to post more! I want to show you how I altered the Ecotail to go over the mahina and the tail she made me out of velvet!!! She is SO talented! She is making me one more in a teal velvet to go over the Mahina too. I can't wait and hope this link thingy works!!
