butter london water marble

just going to do a few quick posts today of manicures i've had on my camera for this month.

this one was with all butter london's and cult nails - nevermore. opi - my vampire is buff was used as the base color.

the butter london polishes spread almost perfectly on the water.  if i ever redo this combo i'll do it with less black.  it kinda overtook everything more than what i was hoping. 

again, no great cleanup, my lazy ass hasn't gotten out to get a new cleanup brush yet :(

china glaze bohemian water marble

this may be my favorite water marble.  it didn't want to photo how it looks in person...guess too much shiny is going on.  i doubt i'll wear these colors on their own...other swatches i've seen online don't impress me, especially after having ozotics and enchanted polish duo and multichromes...but those are too expensive for me to even think of using in a marble.  when these go on sale at sally's i'm pretty sure i'm picking up another set because i can see going through these colors fast with marbling.

i only got 5 of the 6 colors in this collection, the sally's i go to was out of deviantly darling.


this is pic heavy...for a reason.  so gorgeous.

cult nails water marble

for this i used all cult nails products.  the purple is my kind of cool aid, the black is nevermore, and the goldish shimmer is baker.

these spread really well on the water, though my water wasn't quite room temp, so next time i do this i'll be sure to leave it sit out a lot longer.  the amount of shimmer in these that spread out over the water while dropping colors in is crazy.  it looked really cool.

nevermore is perfect for doing water marbles.  other blacks that i have used tend to really fade out.  that wasn't the case with nevermore. 

really really happy with how these turned out.

ugh, angry cuticles :(  and trying to take a picture of your right hand is pretty akward...

china glaze water marble - neons

this was done using colors from the summer neon collection.  i used sun-kissed, orange you hot, love's a beach and some old sally hansen black i had.  i haven't done a marble in a while since my nails were cut way down, but they're back to where i can start doing them and not have it look so smushed together.

left hand: 

right

you really can't tell pink was used, it turned inot the darker orange.  i still like how it turned out, so i'm ok with that.
