40GNAI - Pink+Lilac + Water Marbling

 

Hello, hello!

Today's prompt was Pink+Lilac and my personal prompt was Water Marbling/Spotting!

 

Disclaimer: For some reasons, the colors in the picture are NOT color-accurate.  I really use a pink and a lilac, but it show more coral-y and purple/blue.

 

 

Anyway. I did some abstract watermarbling with the new Zoyas (Aster & Laurel*I think*) from the Petals collection ! 

 

Oh yeah. I scratched my WM when I tried to remove my latex. Oops. And I was having one of those days when everything goes wrong so I just rolled with it.

 

 

I love the finish of Aster, kind of metallic, kind of shimmery. Me likey!

You can see more clearly my "accident" on the picture. I was trying to hide it/show my thumb cleverly, but it was an awkward handpose so I went with something a little bit less awkward. :P

Also, my nails were so long when I did this prompt! Since then, I filed them down a bit and I am currently trying some gel soak off polish from Madam Glam, so expect a review soon :)

Hope you liked it!

Happy polishing!

Watermarble with Parental Advisory Polish and Lightning Bolt Vinyls

Hello! Good morning!

 

I'm back with a watermarble I did a month ago. I used my Parental Advisory polishes for the watermarble. I had a mild fail so I decide to cover it with another P.A. polish and some lightning bolt vinyls.

 

In the end, I really like the design.

 

 

The lightning vinyls covered the parts I didn't like and left the best parts so people thought it was a pretty neat design. haha.

On my index finger, I had an encounter with my cat. She likes to bite my nail (in an affectively manner), so this happens frequently with my nails. Oops.

 

My only "deception" is that the black holo was not super holo.. Or maybe it was too much holo.. It looks a little bit grey, because of the holo particles.

 

I love that shot so much. We can see all the details of the watermable and the black polish. Gaaaaah!

I hope you liked it!

Happy polishing!

Watermarble with Pipe Dream Polish

Hello!

 

I think everyone knows that Pipe Dream Polish has the best polishes to do watermarble.

 

A Night In Vegas has been on my wishlist since it came out and I finally succeed at grabbing the whole set one day. It was one of those crazy restock she had and there was like 100+ oversold. I must admit I was worried I didn't get the chance to score one set. I waited for the email saying that I was one of her customer that had an oversold set, but then... nothing.

 

I thought to myself : "Just wait, you'll get that email".

 

Nothing. Nothing came. And then one day, I got my package from her. I was so excited!!

 

 

I, of course, had to do a watermarble to see if it was really working. It's not that I didn't believe what others said, it's just they are waaaaay better than me at watermarbling so it didn't really count. Do you know what I'm saying?

 

TADA! Magic happened, my friends. They spread so nicely and it was so easy to work with them, I wanted to cry of joy. No. Really.

 

I was so impressed with them, I could finally do a regular watermarble without all the cussing and the frustration!! I just wish I would have wore a white base to make the colors pop. NEXT TIME.

Thumb shot, because it deserves love too!

Hope you like it!

Happy polishing!

Watermarble with Girly Bits "Hoop! There It Is!" Collection

Hello!

 

I received not long ago the new collection from Girly Bits Cosmetics (some of it) and let me tell you. I FRAAAKING LOVE THEM.

 

They are inspired from the new favorite hobby of the GirlyBits chief: hula hoop! The collection is a total of 12 shades, I think? I only bought half of it. (Self control here haha).

 

My FIRST Successful Watermatermable

First of all, hello!

 

OMG GUYS. I did it! It took some tears, some frustration, but I finally did it after two years of failing.

 

*Okay I may be exaggerating, I didn't actually cry for that, but it was close haha*

 

That's right my first successful watermarble, people! Thanks to Parental Advisory Polish for their awesome polishes that worked for me! I just couldn't believe when I dipped my fingers and it stayed perfect on my nails. A MIRACLE HAPPENED.

 

Dry Watermarble Made It Easy - Purple and White

Hello to you, Reader!
A few months ago, I tried the dry watermarble technique and did a mani I never had the opportunity to post until now. I followed a tutorial on Instagram and also the instructions of Pshiiit to make the technique successful.

I was really happy with the result, so let's take a look!

Christmas Dry Watermarble

Hello!

The 31DC is over and now I'm free to do whatever designs I want to. (I could have done it when the 31DC was running, but I would have feel guilty about it. I know. I have a problem haha)

There is so much designs I want to try, so little time though. I already have a list of all the designs I will do. Now, if I could have the time...

For 2015, my "resolutions" toward the nail art is to practice more my free-handed skills, try new techniques (aka watermarbling, watercolor, etc.). I want to be better.

For today's nails, I finally did something that was very frustrating when I tried the first times.. But then, I discover a "lazy", easy way to do it. I didn't get a real chance to try it and before I knew, I forgot to try it further. It was only until earlier this week, on Instagram, that I remembered this technique. Pshiiit put a mani she did and I was like : "Omg I know this technique. I have to try it."

Dry watermarble. Yup, that's right. I called it lazy, because you let your polish dry and you can do something else while you wait.
