Marbling?

Just goofin' around today and here's some shots of what I came up with.  I would put what colors I used, but already put them away and can't remember...  It sucks to get old.





The second from the right in the bottom picture is my favorite of the batch.  That one is Finger Paints Pink Imagination as a base (2 coats) and then marbling of China Glaze Vertical Rush and Black Diamond. I'm hoping to duplicate this one on my next mani.  Keep your fingers crossed!

In the top photo, the first one turned out pretty cool as well.  It's a base of Pure Ice Pussy Cat.  Sinful Colors See You Soon and Finger Paints Easel Come, Easel Go and one other (sorry...can't remember - maybe the Black Diamond??) as the marbling.  It's really all trial and error.

Cracked



Here we have China Glaze Black Diamond as the base and China Glaze Crackle in Latticed Lilac.  The Black Diamond almost looks green in the second photo.  Thinking I should have gone with black or another color as the base...  Or maybe the crackle didn't do exactly what I wanted?  Dunno.  I do know that I bumped one of the nails while it was still tacky, but the great thing about crackle is that you can't tell!!

Monday Mani



Today, I started with my Broadway Nails tips (as always) and knew I wanted to use the sparkly skulls.  I am out of black polish - GASP! - so I went with China Glaze's Black Diamond instead.  I really love this color.  It's a little thin, so the top photo is 3 coats.

After that, I put on my skulls on just the ring fingers and then added rhinestones to all the other tips.    And as always, a thick coat of Seche on top!
