More Marbling

Starting with tips on Q-Tips, I used 5 clear and 5 beige tips.  I applied one coat of Finger Paints Paper Mache as the base to all of them.

Using room temperature water, I used China Glaze In the Lime Light, Wet N Wild black and the Finger Paints Paper Mache and got these results:

  

Next, China Glaze Japanese Koi with Wet N Wild black and the Finger Paints Paper Mache:

Here's Sally Hansen Cocktail Party, Nailtiques Moscow and Finger Paints Paper Mache: 

Of all my experiments, I think that the reds turned out the best and followed by that would be the orange & white.  There were more, but not all of them turned out worth posting.  ;)

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.

So Many Colors

Tonight's experiment was pretty darned successful.  It was also time consuming.

I started with a base coat on all nails (Kiss Nails Everlasting French nails) of Finger Paints "Paper Mache".  A white base coat helps the neon colors pop!  Then I used Sinful Colors "Pink", China Glaze "In the Lime Light", China Glaze "Japanese Koi", China Glaze "Celtic Sun", Sinful Colors "Dream On" and Wet N Wild Black.

I used each of the neon colors in random spots on each nail.  After they dried, I used tape to block off sections of each nail and then used the black polish over the tape.  Remove the tape and voila!!

More Goofing Around

Trying out polishes and generally playing around.

Top one is Wet N' Wild black polish as the base and red acrylic paint as the heart.  Topped with CND "Crimson Sparkle".

Bottom is Finger Paints "Paper Mache" with black acrylic paint for the stripes.

Playin' Around

Base: Two coats of Petites "Figi".  Then, two coats of CND Effects "Crimson Sparkle".  For fun, I put on a flower using Finger Paints "Paper Mache" and Stripe Rite Metallic Pink.  Add a nice top coat and you're good to go!

Better Results

Today's purchases turned out much better.  Finger Paints "Paper Mache" with China Glaze Metal Crackle "Latticed Lilac".

A Trip to Sally's

It feeds the soul. 

I picked up a few necessities.  Some China Glaze Crackle Metal in "Latticed Lilac", Finger Paints "Paper Mache" and Stripe Rite nail art color in Rose Metallic.

Time to get to work!
