Jindie Swoon With Watermarble Accent

Hi guys! Quick post today... I did a watermarble I love! YAY!!!!

First here are the colors I used for the watermarble.

Basically I painted the 3 nails with Jindie Swoon and the other two are watermarbled. Swoon is a sky blue based polish with blue, green and peach colored hex. You can see the peach hex glitter in the bottle but I don't think I got ANY on my nail. So I didn't bother adding any in the watermarble. Here is what I came up with.

I as pretty happy with how this turned out. A couple of oopsies but not to bad!

Off to work I go. Booo! Have a lovely Wednesday!

Watermarble Fail!

Hi guys!!

For today's post I decided to try my hand at water marbling again. I've had mixed success with water marbling. Sometimes it's awesome like my Fourth Of July Mani... other times...like today's not so good. I will say that practice does make perfect so I will continue to try them at least once a week because they really are SUPER cool! Ok on to today's mani. I wanted to use red and black because honestly I don't use red that often and I love the combination of the two. Unfortunately I think the red was a little tooooo dark. You'll see what I mean!

Here are the colors I used

 

China Glaze-
China Glaze- Liquid Leather

So as you can see I dipped my pinky in the wrong section for sure because it came out super dark! And I obviously had some bubbling problems.. which I tried to fix with some terribly placed dots of paint. LOL I kinda wish all of the nails would have come out like my ring finger but that's just a problem with the design I'm drawing in the water. My biggest issue with these is that they seem kinda muted; if that makes sense. I wanted the red to pop a lot more. I am going to try this design again and change a couple of things with the water and the colors and see if I like it better. Nevertheless this was definitely not the worst water marble I've done by far but there were some things I hated! Any tips or suggestions on how to get the perfect water marble? Help a girl out!

Ciao!

Day 21- Merge or Melt

Hi guys!! For todays challenge we had to create a mani Merging or melting colors. The decided to try water marbling again. Every time I do water marbles I always get these unsightly air bubbles...which of couse pop as soon as I put my top coat on. This time was no exception. It drives me absolutely nuts! I haven't quite figured out what I'm doing wrong. I read somewhere it could have something to do with the angle I put my fingers in? I don't know. I really love them. Collete from My Simple Little Pleasures is AMAZING at water marbles as is Ashley From Smashley Sparkles. They inspire me so much! If you haven't checked out either of their blogs you simply must! Here is my attempt.

I love the colors. I forget the name of them but they are both made by Sally Hansen. I totally scored when I went to the .99 store a couple of days ago. These pretties were just sitting on the shelf. They were the only two and I scooped them up! hahaha  Have a wonderful day!

Christmas Light Watermarble

I love Christmas! It's so fun seeing the manis that people are coming up with! Today I have a mani that was inspired by my lovely girlfriend. She loves to come up with fun designs that I should do on my nails. She thought I should do a green background like a tree with Christmas lights and I jumped
on it!

 

I have a love hate relationship with water marbles. Sometimes they look awesome! Other times they look pretty terrible. This one just didn't want to work for me! With the exception of my thumb they came out pretty...muted? Is that the word?!! haha I have yet to figure out the perfect polish brand to use with marbling. I hear China Glaze is pretty good. Of course I don't have any green China Glaze! Booo! Oh well it came out decent so I'm happy about that. Enjoy your Sunday!

Ciao!

Water Marble Mani

Hi there!


Today I attempted to get a water marble right. It went pretty decently. I always seem to get air bubbles no matter what I do. Grrrr! I plan on entering this in a water marble contest over at Smashley Sparkles. I just love entering nail art contests. Even if you don't win I feel like you gain so much experience and you see so many cool designs. I always take away a ton of
 inspiration! So here's what I ended up with. The light color you see is actually grey it looks kind of blue in the first pic sorry!!!

Hope you like!

Ciao!
