Water Marble

Here is my probably the finest attempt of water marbling. I think i am starting to really learn how to do it and don't repeat mistakes. The crucial turn for me was watching Nihrida's Tutorial .
I realized that i don't have to use a lot of polish, i can only make 2 drops of polish (instead of 5-6 as i used to do) ,and having a smaller dish for water really helps too.
I also used a lip balm around my fingers and cuticle - it makes cleaning a lot easier.
I like the result, but however where is still room for improvement :) And you know what?
People who think that Konading is messy, probably nether tried water marbling - for me this experience was very super messy and extremely time consuming - i spent liek 90 minutes making this look, and after all teh cleaning arround fingers, cuticul area is atill not very clean.

Right hand
For this look i used Orly "Polo Princess as a base color" and Zoyas"Vanessa"and "Purity" for the marbles.

Dusty pink glitter extension w crystals n flowers

I did this set of nails a few weeks back and all I could say is that her nail bed is really long and her nails are really pretty too!


A sweet and relatively simple design.


♥ the length of her nails and nail bed. Nail extensions look exceptionally pretty on them.
Not forgetting the tiny cute round flowers I did for her, and to make the flowers sharp and defined, it's not as easy as it seems to be.


Took this pic from another angle. The dusty pink glitter, C curves and straight side walls can be seen more clearly here.


And lastly, the lovely thumbs. ♥

***FAIRY DUST***

On these nails I mixed a gold glitter called fairy dust that I found at Joanne's fabric store with clear acrylic. I then added more gold and hot pink stars of my own. As a finishing touch I added some gold and pink dots with polish. Click directly on the picture to get a much better close up view of these nails.

HOT LAVA STARS

On these nails I used star ribbon on the ring fingers. This cute purple color is called hot lava. I added a black star and dot at the tip of each finger. We got a little more creative and finished the nails off with polished black and white dots.

RED FALL FLOWERS

On these nails I did a fade with acom and red oak. I added red fimo clay flowers.

This is also a fade I did with abyss and black hole. I added silver dots on the ring fingers that I purchased from cinapro.
