First Water Marbling attempt!

 The glittery ones have a glitter as a base, from Claire’s– let me tell you that thing comes on clumpy, and DOESN’T leave. Bad idea for a base. I used a light blue shimmer by a Perfect 10, and Midnight Blue by Sinful Colors. I originally wanted to do the Claire’s glitter, but it didn’t spread very well over the water.

 Really bad one haha.

 The ring finger on the left is my favorite!

 My fiance, Nick’s favorite. He also assisted me with the water marbling activity because he was so fascinated by it.. 🙂

 

Lessons learned? Don’t use glitter in water marbling. They tell you to use plastic or glass bowls/cups FOR A REASON. We tried to be cheap and use a Styrofoam cup but after one marble the bottom corroded through and we had water all over our bathroom counter. Also don’t use Claire’s “top coat glitter” as a base (unless it comes out perfectly like that ring finger above).

Diagonals

Trying out the nail polish pen I picked up from Claire’s the other day. Took a pic because my nail polish was about to go as you can see by the chip at the top of my middle finger.

It’s this pink shimmer by Sinful Colors, and the black polish pen for the lines.

Light blue French tip

I know, I know I didn’t clean up my cuticles. My routine is just to slap on nail lacquer, then go off to the shower when they’ve dried. However I am preparing a full manicure arsenal that’s going to be busted out on my birthday… February 9th! 😀
So here you see a medium blue shimmer, and a light blue shimmer for the tips. I would have to say this is one of my favorite looks on myself.

Dots

It’s kind of hard to see, but I blame my photographer (my fiance). 😀
It’s a silver shimmer on the light side, and dark purple shimmer on the other, and there are three silver dots on the purple half, using a toothpick. Let me just say I don’t recommend doing this in a car. And that I need a better topcoat. I took a nap and the design went to hell– there was clothing dents and some dots came right off. Kind of mad about that. It was hard to do!

This is a tad better pic, of the color. I think the reflection of the dark purple shimmer is causing the silver to look lilac– trust me it’s your standard shimmery silver.

Present

That’s what I think my nails remind me of. Sparkly green background, a silver diagonal stripe for the ribbons and a final red dot as a finishing touch 😉 It’s not cleaned up… Oh well!
