First Time Water Marbling

This is the very first time I have done water marbling on my actual nails... I have barely practiced on nail sticks... These didn't come out the way I wanted... I had nothing but, problems & a big mess LOL

I figured it needed some glitter afterwards...

Maybe next time will be better but, here goes...

Boys 'N' Berries over Creative Fantasy

In this look I started out with 3 coats of "Creative Fantasy" by China Glaze which is a grape purple satin jelly polish. I then applied"Boys 'N' Berries" by Nina Ultra Pro which is a magenta glitter polish. I applied a small amount on the end of the tip and brushed what was still wet towards the cuticle creating a gradient effect and finally sealed it with a gloss finish using Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

Finally Got My Hands On Halo Hues!

That's right! I started thinking I was never gonna get my hands on this collection but, I finally got them. Yaye! They are the Halo Hues Collection by Color Club and are what we like to call Holographic Polish.

They are much prettier than I had expected them to be and I am so glad I did decide to get them after all... If you are wondering whether they're worth it... I'd definitely have to say YES! The only thing that would be nice is if the colors were darker. (like the blues & pinks)

The holo is quite prominent though... I took pictures of one coat and two coat to show you how awesome they really are. Starting from the pinky finger the colors are as follows: Blue Heaven, Cherubic, Angel Kiss, Harp On It, and Halo-Graphic on thumb. Thumb on other hand is "Cloud Nine".

Near the end of the images I was messing around and decided to add "Santa's Magic" by Finger Paints over "Harp On It".

Glitter Goblin over Bizarre Blurple

These two colors are from the "Wicked Collection" by China Glaze. The first color is purple with blue shimmer throughout it. It's called "Bizarre Blurple". It was easy to apply & was done in 2 coats. I then decided to top my ring fingers off with a orange n gold glitter from the same collection called "Glitter Goblin", which only needed 1 coat. Let me know what you think & Happy Halloween!

Another Summer Gradient Sponging

This is the look I am sporting today! It's another summer gradient sponging. In this look I first applied a base coat CND & then applied Sinful Colors "Neon Melon" after letting that dry I applied a sponge effect of "Starboard" by China Glaze, "Aruba Blue" by Essie & last but, not least, "Flying Dragon" (neon) by China Glaze. After that I applies Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat.

Neon Summer Sponging Gradient

I did this to have a nice fun summer look & practicing my sponging. I seem to be getting better. I started out with "Jail Bait" by Spoiled & moved on to "Forget Now" by Sinful Colors & last but, definitely not least... "Traffic Jam" by China Glaze. I love how it came out and will continue to sponge trying to make beautiful manicures every time.

Rain Of Flowers by MAC

My very first MAC polish. I was so excited I had to paint them right away. This polish is blue with purple undertones. It has tiny blue & purple glitter in it. It's called "Rain of Flowers" & was opaque in two coats but, I felt compelled to apply another coat even though it was not needed. The brush size is average but, I do wish it was nice n thick. I didn't think the polish was as glossy as it should have been. I tried correcting it by adding a top coat but, it didn't help enough. I do like the color. When it is dry on the nails it appears to be a blue but, when u remove it the cotton ball ends up purple.
I purchased this polish from MAC.

Sugar Plum Yum over Anne

So... I decided to add a little flair to "Anne" by Julep by adding "Sugar Plum Yum" by Color Club over top. It is a glitter polish with Purple hexagon  glitters & tiny Green square glitters. I think it looks very nice although the images do not do justice. It was very easy to apply. I did put two coats on with Seche Vite top coat over it. What's pretty cool is that when I dries it has a sweet grape scent
(only cause I can't envision what plum would smell like) LOL.

It is probably the hardest glitter polish I have taken off thus far... So I definitely recommend the foil method!

I think its pretty stylish but, I still can't wait to get those Finger Paints on so.. that'll be next for sure!
