Neon Watermarble

Last challenge of the month for WNAC is neon watermarble. I have to say that I had a hard time with this. I started out using the China Glaze electric nights collection and they just were such a fight. I eventually gave up and went with my tried and true Pipe Dream Polish colors.

I tried something a little different this time by using a glitter base color instead of my typical white. I am not quite sure how I feel about it. What do you think?

I used two coats of Orly mirrorball as my base. My watermable is using Pipe Dream Polish's all in, v.i.p. pass, and high roller. Please excuse my middle nail. I redid it at least five times and finally just gave up. Once dry I did a thin layer of Seche vite for top coat.

Easter Mani Ideas

A few days ago Nailstamp4fun posted this amazing mani of Easter eggs. As soon as I saw it I thought I would give the plate another go. Due to my short nails I have always felt that the image was a bit big for my nails, I am very pleased with how my second attempt came out.

  Base colors are Color Club (Cc) Twiggie, Cc Pucci-licious, China Glaze(Cg) Hanging in the balance, and Milani Hot pink rage 

Stamping plate is BM H10 used with Rica Whiteout

Seche Vite as top coat

I did a few other Easter looks that I thought I would share as well. I kept the majority of the nails the same and just changed out the accent nail.

Base color is Orly Dayglow

Dots are Cc Modern pink, Cc Take me to your chateau, Cg Peachy keen, Cg Sun upon my skin, Fresh Paint (Fp) Passion fruit and Fp Honeydew

Accent nail is Pipe Dream Polish Light of day for the chick and Cg Peachy keen for the beak, Rica Whiteout and Blackout for the eyes

Watermarble Nails

I have always been scared of watermarbling. I have tried it a few times and always had such crappy results. Today was the day that all changed. After a few trials I came to realize that China Glaze doesn't spread worth a darn, Opi and Color Club work great, and contrary to what I have heard you can use water right out of the tap.

I did two coats of Color Club(Cc) Blue-Ming on my pointer, ring, and pinkie finger. I painted two coats of Cc Wicker Park on my thumb and middle finger. I definitely like how brighter it looks over top of Wicker Park. After marbling I used Seche Vite as my top coat. I used liquid latex around my cuticles to help with clean up and I have to say that I feel like it made the whole process harder. When I was trying to clean the surface up the polish kept clinging to the latex. I would have to be a bit forceful to detach it, which made me nervous about hitting the design.
