A few weeks ago, the main man in charge , Chip asked if any of the writers would be interested in putting together a Disney themed spa night. I jumped right on that thing! I’m all about girly things and I’m all about Disney things, so this post was right up my ally! Today we’re going under the sea, Little Mermaid style for a little summer inspired spa time! Please keep in mind that I am by NO means a nail guru. Most of the time, I end up with more paint on my skin than on my nails, I smudge when I should be smooth, and inevitably, I ruin the entire manicure with an impatient scratch. Hopefully, you’ll see what I was going for and use it as a jumping off point for your own Disney inspired spa night!
So, what are we waiting for, let’s dive right in!
Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat…
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just like to pamper myself! I have a HUGE makeup/nail polish problem. You should take a look at my collection, it is shameful. But, like Ariel, I just can’t pass up a good thing! Dinglehoppers, Banded Bulbus Snarfblats, glitter polishes, etc… wouldn’t you thing my collection’s complete? So I went to the ultimate shipwreck of beauty supplies…the drug store! Here’s my haul!
With Ariel and all her undersea crew as inspiration, I selected these polishes…
Fins Together…
I decided to create a look I titled “Fins Together.” This look was inspired by Ariel and her lovable little fishy friend, Flounder! To create this look, I :
1. Prepped my nails by clipping, filing, cleaning, and buffing them as well as cleaning up my cuticles and moisturizing my hands.
2. Next, I applied a clear basecoat. I used an OPI basecoat.
3. I applied 2 Layers of a “tealy” green polish. I selected Maybelline’s Color Show in the color “Green With Envy.”
4. I applied 1 sheer layer of an aqua glitter polish (to represent Ariel’s beautiful tale)! For this, I used Milan’s glitter coat in “Teal” to each finger except for my thumb (my accent finger).
5. For my accent finger, I used a bright yellow, think the color of Flounder’s body. I chose Sally Hasen’s Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in the color “Mellow Yellow.”
5. I finished off the detail on my accent finger by creating lines similar to Flounder’s stripes. For this, I used a turquoise (Essie’s “Go Overboard”) and a the same teal for the Ariel inspired nails (“Green With Envy”).
6. Finally, I apply a quick drying topcoat. I used Orly’s “Sec N Dry.”
Here are some pictures of my NON professional attempt…
You’ll have your looks, your pretty face and don’t underestimate the importance of body language…
When you’re going all out for a Disney night, you must insure that you have the obligatory facial mask; otherwise, things just wouldn’t be official. I wanted something that would go with my Little Mermaid theme so I selected an ocean inspired mask. I chose Freeman’s Feeling Beautiful Anti-Stress Mask in Dead Sea Minerals. The vibrant aquamarine of the mask conjured up the sea and the Dead Sea minerals made my skin feel fresh, relaxed, and refreshed. This mask was perfect because it was easy to apply and all I had to do was let it dry while I relaxed, and then it washed off easily. This mask provided pampering without rendering me penniless, I highly recommend it! You know they say, “life is the bubbles, under the sea!” I think this totally applies to facial masks!
So, have I inspired you to have a Disney themed spa night? I had a lot of fun shopping and creating a theme for my spa night, but honestly you could take inspiration from what you already have…I call that shopping my stash! So, do you want to see more? I would love to put together another Disney spa theme night! I’ve already got some Pinterest DIY spa ideas in the works and of course, you know I’ve got the polish collection to back it up!
So, here’s where you get to help out! I’m going to list some themes/inspiration below. I want you to vote for your favorite by posting it in the comment section! Here are your choices:

Monster’s University!!!! I’m all over that purple, blue, and green! 🙂
Look like a monster going in, but like a princess coming out!
Cinderella theme would be so fun!!
I’d LOVE to see a Tomorrowland theme!! Makes me want to test it out myself!
Oh what a great idea! At Sephora I saw a Disney storylook eyeshadow palette featuring 20 beautiful eyeshadows and this time it’s The Little Mermaid! This would be perfect for my Ariel Under the Sea spa look. I also hear Disney now has a line of nail polishes too. I am going to definitely dig out my treasured box of resort Mickey Mouse soaps to use for my spa day. You’ve inspired me with some great ideas.
