Days 19 & 20

I have a galactic fail and a pretty water marble to share this morning. My attempt at galaxy nails for the first time went over pretty badly mainly because it all wound up blue on accident. I will try again some time in the future and try to avoid the blue fiasco. Maybe I will have a good glitter to use then too.... anyway here it is:

 

I used a black base with three or four colors forthe galaxy/nebula bits and they looked good then I went to add a top layer of a glitter aaaand because I didn't check it first to be sure it turned out it wasn't a clear base but a blue sheer one.... whoopsies. It's not totally awful but I still really dislike it.

And my water marble I was super happy with. I did a dry water marble, using More Nail Polish's method.  I used Salon Perfect Baby Blues fro my main color and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away for the marble. The result is as follows:

Very, very pleased with this one and will keep it most of today as well  (day 21) but will change it later after my day is mostly over. And for now I need to sleep, my niece is having a birthday party at one and I need to sleep before I attend.

NIni every one!

Day 5: Blue!

So the first thing I did was try the dry water marbling on my right hand. And it worked pretty good except my very first try I messed up royally. "Oh it should be dry now -yank- Oh crud ALL the polish came off WITH the plastic...."  Kinda a reverse of what was supposed to happen. So I tried again and it worked better I just had to patiently sit a while and watch and episode of Empires. Here is the result:

Sinful Colors Hot Spot and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away

Once again it's an epic mess. I am getting lazier and lazier as this challenge goes on and it's only day five... BUT IT'S STILL PRETTY!

My other hand I went a different route....
Gradient!

Sinful Colors Gorgeous on all fingers.

Sinful Colors Opening Night on thumb and Sinful Colors Hot Spot on the rest.

 I love how it turned out.

Yes there are days specifically for gradients and Water Marbles but I havent done either in so long, and seeing them on the list was taunting me.

I'm easily taunted.


Also blue is my favorite color ever so I had to so some thing special.

Dry Water Marble

So after reading this tutorial I decided to try a dry water marble. I have done regular ones but the mess is annoying as everyone says and this method is not only cleaner for my fingers but less wasteful of my polish as well. So that's a super bonus.

I'm trying it with blue polishes for the Day 5 challenge, Blue Nails. I will post when I wake up, it's about 5:30am now and after this I am gonna try to sleep (again). So far it looks pretty great just messy. :P

Look forward to it!
