More Marbling

When I made my DIY nail polish stickers for my marbled French tips the other day, I loved them so much that I decided to do it again. I wanted to do something a little bit simpler this time around, though. I went with just two polishes and some very simple accents.

Marbled French Tips

After using Julep Kennedy as an accent color and loving it, I decided to give it a shot as the main color in a design. On a whim, I gave making my own nail stickers a shot, too. I wanted to do something a little bit different. I used a plastic freezer bag and made a dry marble design. I let it dry overnight and cut it into strips with a pair of craft scissors. I used those strips to make a French manicure design. 

Color Blocked French

I got a polish from Julep the other day that I was not sure about.It's called Kennedy. In the bottle, it looks like a dusty yellowish-beige. Hubby and I couldn't tell what kind of color it was supposed to be. I looked it up and Julep calls it a khaki cream. I didn't like it. Then, the other day, I decided to give it a try. I didn't want to commit to it, though, so I thought I'd use it as an accent color in a design.

Magic: The Gathering Nails

A few weeks ago, I had a coworker request that I do a nail art design based on Magic: The Gathering. Now, I know next to nothing about Magic. And what I do know, I only know because hubby used to play it. All I know is that is a fantasy style trading card game. That's it. 

When I was asked to create this design, I was asked to use the five "elements" as inspiration. I did a tiny bit of research and found out that the spells in Magic are classified into five colors. White (which, oddly, is usually represented in yellow), blue, red, black, and green. Each color represents different things and has a sort of symbol. I used those symbols for my design.

Sesame Street Twinsies

Heather came over today to have a little girly hang time so, of course, I had to do her nails. I asked her what she wanted me to do and, after a little time with Google, she decided that she wanted blue nails with a glitter Cookie Monster accent. I was happy to oblige! Then, I asked her what I should do with my nails and she suggested Oscar the Grouch nails to match!

Mermaidy Gradient?

Look at me making promises I can't keep. I promised Valentine's Day designs and I never got to do them. I haven't posted since Thursday. I ended up wearing my Blue Valentine's Day design for four days! It was okay, though, because I loved it! 

Anyway, it's been a CRAAZY week. My mother-in-law had surgery, my weekend was non-stop, and now we are gutting the master bathroom to get ready for a remodel. So, I haven't had a whole lot of time to sit down and do nail art. I did get to do one design and that's what I'll be sharing with you today!

V-Day #7

Today's Valentine's Day design is another non-traditional color combination for the holiday. I wanted to create something for those girls who don't necessarily love pink or red all that much. I love the way this design turned out and I adore the colors I used!
