The release of Disney’s new live-action reimagining of The Little Mermaid is going swimmingly—better yet, it topped the box office charts on its opening weekend and has stayed near the top since.

Disney fans are saying that everything about Halle Bailey as Ariel is perfect—from her head to her tail to the very tips of her fingers. Bailey’s nails were designed by nail artist Stephanie Staunton (@stephie_nails) to look natural and fresh with a healthy glow, using a custom blend of polishes: crème, pink, and a pink with a very subtle gold shimmer.
