Anyways, continuing with the spirit of the approaching Christmas (and assorted other holidays) season I have another festive manicure! This one is inspired by peppermint candies!
This may look upon first glance like a water marble, but in fact since I totally refuse to subject myself to the what seems to be torturous process of water marbling, I took a different route with this. I painted my nails first with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On, and then took a miscellaneous red striper polish and painted on curved diagonal lines that tapered at one end.
I did each nail one at a time so the polish wouldn't dry before I got back to it, and took a needle and dragged in through the lines, going first one direction and then the next time in the other. Then I topped each nail with NYX Advanced Salon Formula in Disco Inferno for a bit of glittery fun! I loved these and they seemed to be real eye catchers, I got lots of compliments on them!
Love! And since I, for the life my me, cannot grasp the concept of a water marble, this is a definite must try!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely try it out, so much quicker and less messy than a water marble seems! The main thing is just to do each nail at a time, don't let the background colour dry before you put on the stripes and drag the needle through - but if you want a crisp division of colour you don't want to put the second colour on right away because it will bleed into the first. But if you want a little extra marbling then I guess you could do it that way! :)
