Nice Things To List

Hello hello all!

I'm back with some marbling! Today I chose to work with all a-england polishes. I used "Her Rose Adagio" and "Wuthering Heights". I bought both of these from Mei Mei. I thought that maybe when holos from the same maker would have similar consistency and better for marbling and I was darn right!

I have a little video tutorial below for you! I started off with a coat of "Her Rose Adagio". Then I prepped my nails with a liquid latex, I used Bundle Monster's "Poli-Peel". After that I headed to my cup of distilled water and started dropping the polishes alternating.

I decided to do the oh-so-famous water marble design where I pull in strokes from the outer ring into the center. I then gently dipped my finger into the surface and then clear the polish around the pulled out my finger. I think the video would make more sense LOL.

Anyway I was very happy with how these turned out and the a-england polishes did a great great job for this look!

Oppppsy daisy! I'm late on this challenge :P

Here is my take on the holo pattern prompt for last week and I thought the NCLA HOLOS nail polishes in my collection were apt.

I used NCLA - Lightyears Ahead and Spaced Out and a few striping tapes! This is how my mani turned out :) 

I must admit I screwed up my pointer and baby fingers because I had a peel off  base coat and striping tape is not a good friend of it so... I covered it up with a full color of Space Out. I believe you can see the holo in the macro below much better!

I didn't put on a top coat hence the holo effect may not be that obvious, but you can view my previous swatches of LIGHTYEARS AHEAD and SPACED OUT!

Hi ya there!

Today I have a water marble design! Haven't had one in a long time eh? So today I would be using Charlie's Rad Lacquer polishes. I used Trust, a slate blue metallic like polish and Veau's Voodoo a nice purple holographic polish.

I had a black base on for this mani, which I used a-England - Camelot. For the water marble you can see how I did it at the end of this post where I'll embed my Instagram video tutorial for you :) First let's have a look at how my mani turned out!

I overall do like this look, the only thing that bugs me is that the black undie that I had were quite visible as I was cleaning up the mess around the cuticles, the black showed through :( Sadness aside, here are some happy macros :)

Blob, blob, blob!

This is a technique that I have yet to try so far and in this challenge I got a chance at trying it out! Basically this technique is right after applying the base color you go in with the second color with quite an amount of polish on the brush and let it blob on your nail.

So, with that I tried out using Cirque Colors - Fascination Street and Color Club - Over The Moon, both of which has awesome holographic effects *droooools*

This holographic is beyond crazy. It is a grey toned base with green, blue, purple and  red (did I name all??) shone under different lighting. Application was a breeze, the polish was not thick at all (plus point) and two coats does a good coverage.
