We All Know the Sharks In Katy Perry's Halftime Show Were the Real Super Bowl MVPs

Katy Perry's Halftime Sharks Nail Art by @chalkboardnails
Look, I enjoy football and all, but I think we can all agree that the dancing sharks in Katy Perry's halftime show were the true stars of the game. Their enthusiasm, their gaping jaws, their flailing limbs (including legs)...they just couldn't be beat. Every time the camera cut away from them, our entire family screamed at the TV to put the sharks back on. Who needs beach ball boobs?

Of course, I had to do some nail art honoring their majesty.


Polishes used:
LVX Lemondrop
OPI Good Grief!
JINsoon Cool Blue
Salon Perfect Sugar Cube
Formula X Dark Matter

I began by sponging on a subtle gradient base of pale yellow to bright yellow. I wanted something bright and cheerful, like the sharks, that wouldn't distract from their perfection.

Then, I painted the sharks freehand over the base. I was giggling the whole time I was painting these, truly! They are just so full of joy!

Do you agree with me that the dancing sharks were the best part of the game? I need a good shot of them to use as my computer wallpaper!

    Those sharks are so cute and look exactly like the original ones. I didn't see the superbowl as I am in the UK but I'll have to see if the sharks are on youtube!

    We didn't watch the game, hopefully, there will be a video of the shark. I can see where giggling would ensue while doing these nails! They are just plain cute!!!

    I missed most of the halftime show but I did see the sharks briefly and I want them to have their own variety show. It would be fantastic.
