Rainbow Water Marble

Every once in a while, I just have to do a water marble. I'm one of those odd people who loves to water marble. As the years have gone by I've found them to be easier and easier to do. I used to get frustrated with the process but a few things have really helped. 

Flakies, Gradients, & Holo

Have you ever started doing your nails and you can't stop just adding more and more until you realize that you may have gone overboard? Yeah, I tend to do that. A lot. You know what, though? Sometimes more is more. Right?

For today's prompt, my initial instinct was to do a water marble. But, since water marble is an actual prompt in the challenge, I decided against it. Then, I thought about doing something with polka dots, but that's a prompt too. After a few more ideas that I rejected I finally came up with something.

Very short post today because IT'S MY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TODAY! YAY! Anyway, today is rainbow nails and I went super quick and simple with it.

The base is Sally Hansen Celeb City. A light coat of Ulta Pinata-Yada was next. Then I dabbed some OPI Rainbow Connection near the cuticle to create a glitter gradient effect.

31dc2014 Day 9 - Rainbow

I was very excited for this day of the 31 day challenge because my original plan was to do tie dye nails. The more I planned it out, though, the harder it seemed it might be to do. I knew I would use dry marbling to create the effect. But to have the amount of colors I wanted, on top of the already large amount of polish you need on your nails to get a good marbling, I knew that the drying time would be ridiculous. Then, an idea popped into my head! Why not DIY rainbow dry marble nail stickers?! BRILLIANT!

The final product is pretty killer...

Out of sheer frustration.

I had a plan. I was going to do some nail art inspired by Doctor Who since the new season started on Saturday. I got to work and midway through the manicure, I got an idea to try something new. (I'm not going into a lot of detail because, frankly, I'm still peeved.) Long story short, I spent about an hour trying to make my vision a reality and it just didn't work. The end result looked muddy and just not good. Oh, I forgot to mention that it involved A TON of glitter and I forgot to use my peel-off base coat. 

So, with the time spent on my nail fail and the time spent getting everything off of my nails, I was so frustrated by the end of it all! At that point, I just wanted to do something quick and be done with it.

I was really excited for today's prompt! Until today...when I realized that I had no idea what I wanted to do. I thought that the easiest way to tackle this problem was to take the literal approach. Rainbows!

Rainbow Dots!

After the last few days I've had at work, I needed to do something bright, cheery, and hopeful with my nails. Rainbows came to mind and so did polka dots. There is just something about seeing polka dots that makes me happy.

So. Here's everything that I used for the polka dots; Art Club Red, OPI A Roll in the Hague (orange), Julep Charlie (yellow), NYC High Line Green, Julep Ally (blue), and OPI Purple With a Purpose. The base is NYC French White Tip. I topped it all with China Glaze Fairy Dust.

It's bright, colorful, glittery...polka-dotty? I love it.

I love skittles!

I wanted to do something with rainbow colors and decided to water marble. Instead of marbling all of the colors together, though, I chose to skittle them.

I used a total of six colors. My pinky is Julep Claudette and OPI A Roll in the Hague. My ring finger is A Roll in the Hague and Julep Charlie. My middle finger is Charlie and Essie Mojito Madness. My index finger is Mojito Madness and Sally Hansen Blue Me Away. Finally, my thumg is Blue Me Away and Julep Charlotte.
