Neon Water Marble

Hey guys!

I've been seeing a lot of nude colors mixed with some neon colors all over from fashion to home decor and everything in between so I figured I would give it a shot on my nails! It didn't quite turn out how I hoped but I still liked the end result.

The base color I used was Blank Canvas Cream from Finger Paints. This is one of my favorite nudes. It goes really well with my skin tone and just a nice nude for me!

The colors I used in the marbling were all from China Glaze, from left to right: Fuchsia, Coral Star, and White Cap. 

The main problem I had with this water marble is that I used a bowl instead of a cup like I usually do. The polish didn't want to spread out to the edges of the bowl and if it did spread out, it would dry quickly. I just kept going and hoped for the best. It didn't turn out awfully but I was hoping for better. Hope you liked it!

Fall Water Marble

Hi bloggers!

As I'm sure you've notices, we've been a little MIA lately! We are so, so sorry about that. With Thanksgiving having just passed, we were both really busy in our personal life between work, school, the holiday, and family time so hopefully we'll get some good posts in before Christmas!

I took the next two posts of mine before the holiday, as well as before I let my nails go naked for about a week which resulted in six of them breaking. Six, yes six of them broke. I wasn't too happy about that but I got a new growth treatment to try out so now is the perfect time to! It's a 5 day treatment to you guys will be seeing the results sometime before Christmas so keep an eye out.

Anyway, on with the pictures! The colors I used from left to right: OPI Peach-A-Boo!, OPI Take the Stage, and Sephora by OPI What's Your Point-settia?.

I used Peach-A-Boo! as my base coat and it was a lot more shear that I had hoped it was going to be. I though once I had the second layer on from the water marble it would help some. It did but it was still a lot more shear than I had hoped for. I loved this color combination though regardless!

Hope you enjoyed!

Breast Cancer Awareness Post: Pink Water Marble

Hi bloggers!

Here is my last Breast Cancer Awareness Post and it is a pink water marble! I tried a few different color combinations, as well as different color orders before I got something that actually worked well. The colors from left to right: China Glaze Fuschia, OPI Play the Peonies, and Sephora by OPI BYOBoy. 

Be sure to do your part this month to support Breast Cancer Awareness. Donate money, participate in a charity walk/race, donate your time to the charity walk/races, do something and get involved to help cure breast cancer! Besides painting my nails to show my support, I donated money to support the cure! Keep in mind that you can support the cure year around, not only during certain months so get out there and help support the fight for any and all cancers because we all know of someone who has or had some form of cancer or another.

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Water Marble Sucess!

Hi bloggers!


After several attempts, I finally got a water marble I was happy with! It took a little tweaking of my colors to get it to work out well. The colors I used from left to right were: a silver/light grey from Love & Beauty, For Audrey from China Glaze, Confetti from Jesse's Girl, and Purple With a Purpose from OPI.

I used Love and Beauty as my base color. The picture is a little foggy. It was so humid out my lens kept fogging up! This is only one coat. 

Originally I wanted to use this color as part of my actual water marble but it just wasn't wanting to work well with the other colors so I had to lose it, leaving only three color in the actual water marble. I really, really liked how this one turned out. In the pictures, it's kind of hard to see the Confetti but when it would catch the light just right, it looked so pretty!

Hope you enjoyed and have learned from my water marbling mistakes!

Water Marble Aptempt #2 & EOS Lip Balm

Hi bloggers!

Sorry it took me a little while to post this but here it is, my second (really fourth of fifth try that were done before we started this blog) water marble attempt. I used a lot of colors in this one, probably more than I should and once again I didn't pick out a good base coat color but oh well. I still like how it turned out.

Colors from left to right: Revlon Star Light (which I used as a base coat), Sephora by OPI Ocean Love Potion, Sephora by OPI Underwater Fantasy, Sephora by OPI Blue Grotto, Jesse's Girl Glee, Sephora by OPI Dark Room, and the last one is Nyx Blue Avenue that I only put on my ring fingers.

Both Brielle and I love EOS lip balms. I've tried three different ones: (left to right in picture below) Summer Fruit, Sweet Mint, and Lemon Drop. 

They are flavored and I've liked every one I've tried.  There are two others that I probably won't try simply because they are flavors I don't like but they are Honeysuckle Honeydew and Tangerine.

 

I also included a picture of what they look like because I was a little surprised when I first used it that they were spherical, just like the packaging itself. Good lip balm= smooth lips. And btw EOS stands for the Evolution of Smooth.
