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.  ;)

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!!
