31 Day Challenge: Day 20

8 09 2013

Hi there! Water marbling for day 20. A year ago I saw my friend’s attempt at water marbling. She tried twice, with her second try turning out much better than her first. At the time I had no interest in using this technique. Once I saw that it was part of the challenge I figured I should research how to best achieve a water marble mani.

OPI provides a tutorial on their facebook, but I felt that there had to be a better one that would give me more tips on how to be successful. Simple Little Pleasures has wonderful tutorials and also gives you which polishes work well in water marbling.

31 Day Challenge: Day 19

25 08 2013

Hey there! I used a great tutorial by Chalkboard Nails in order to create my galaxy mani. I used her advise and started with a black based and then sponged on the different colors.

I started with two coats of NYC Black Lace. I then sponged OPI Can’t Find My Czechbook, OPI Do You Lilac It?, OPI Tomorrow Never Dies, and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls pretty much in that order on each nail. I sponged a little more My Boyfriend Scales Walls than I wanted on my index finger so I went back over with Can’t Find My Czechbook and Do You Lilac It? I finished with OPI I Juggle…Men so that it sparkled.

OPI Can’t Find My Czechbook, OPI Do You Lilac It?, OPI Tomorrow Never Dies, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, OPI I Juggle…Men

This was a fun mani to do because it didn’t take much skill. I was able to complete this mani on both my left and right hands easily. I want to create another galaxy mani that is more red, that will be my next challenge.
