Mermaid Tail

Do mermaid's have tails?  Or are they considered fins?

I should have named this post Glitter Bomb - as in I totally bombed this mani....It looks pretty but you can't see the side view, which is literally an inch thick with polish.  Why oh why, must glitter polish be so hard to apply?  Am I doing it wrong?  I've searched everywhere for a tutorial on how to apply glitter polish the "right" way, why must it cause me so much grief?  Does anyone else have this issue?  Any tips for applying glitter consistently??

Base Coat:  Orly Bonder

Main Color:  Color Club - no name - hate that Color Club has no names for their polishes - this one is a super pale pink/purple.

Glitter:  Wet n Wild - Spontaneous Combustion

Top Coat:  Seche Vite
