Water marbling - My first attempt

Now you have probably seen the YouTube clips and thought can I REALLY be bothered to make THAT much mess... well I'm glad I did!

The base colour is China Glaze Style Wars with China Glaze Happy Go Lucky and GOSH Hot Coral marbled over it.

Watch the link (at the top) to see how its done but basically you drip little drops of nail polish into the centre of a cup of water until you form circles.

Draw a little pattern, lightly, with an orange stick.

Dip your finger in (one or two at a time) and hey presto... your done!!

You have to tape around your fingers before hand to stop TOO much going on your skin, Scotch tape is the best thing I've tried.

If you get a lot of polish on your skin, wait for your nails to dry completely then soak your hands in water for a minute or two and just rub the excess polish off.

Much nicer for your skin than nail polish remover.

When you are picking colours to marble together the most complementary will be the ones opposite or next to each other on the colour wheel.

I really cant wait to try more!!

In your face pink - Yum Gum Color Club

This nearly neon medium pink creme is so good in so many ways, I love the way it looks, and smells (Ooooh Bubble Gum)!! But getting it on it a pain, its streaky and refuses to dry on it own (Seche Vite Fast Dry/equivalent is 100% required.) I needed 3 coats to make it opaque. Its not retina searing but is nicely eye catching.

Having your nails smell nice is definitely a novelty, a novelty that wears off rather suddenly when your eating. Having the faint smell of Bubble Gum lingering is a bit off putting when your trying to enjoy, let say, chips!

Also smelling your nails in public leads people to assume you are ever so slightly odd, so should be avoided.

Overall, I like the look enough to get over the negatives. Pink is here to stay.

(Sorry about the 'photo on the go'!! I took this on my phone...)
