Day 20 - Water Marble

All that can really be said about this attempt is: It didn't go as badly as I expected. I used only American Apparel - Army Jacket and China Glaze - Mahogany Magic. I added dots to cover up some weird spots. From a distance, it looks a lot cooler :)




I really love the color combination. I think the thing that hurt me the most was the sort of tooth pick I used for dragging. I have crappy squared tooth picks. They do not work well at all! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter (or just a nice Sunday!)

Thanks for reading :)

Seasons Schmeasons (Poolside Party Time!)

I don't care if it is snowing outside, I just got China Glaze's Poolside collection, and I wanted to play with it! Water marbling really did seem like the best idea. So, I threw on a coat of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - White Out and used almost all of the colors to create my second (semi) successful attempt at marbling! I am pretty satisfied. I know water marbling is something that takes practice and determination, so I'm trying not to get upset with myself before I have perfected a technique that works for me.

Poolside Collection






Weird. I thought I had more pictures. I did this while away from home, and by the time I got back to photograph it, it looked a mess. Either way, dammit, I water marbled and it didn't totally suck! WOO!

Colors used:
Pool Party (pink)
Sun Worshipper (orange)
Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
Kiwi Cool-Ada 
Towel Boy Toy (blue)

Can't really see much of the blue.

Well for a first post back after almost a month, this was pretty crappy! I ended up not going to China, but took a mental vacation from all things anyway. So, I did some random manicures that I plan on posting about, and I read some blogs, but I didn't do much else. Hopefully I will get back in the swing of things quickly and get my butt in gear to do some awesome nail things. Woo :)
