"Leprechuan Puke" Water Marbling

Happy Friday, all! St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow so it's time to get your green on! I did a green inspired water marble that I have dubbed "Leprechaun Puke." I started by painting 1 coat of Finger Paints Paper Mâché on all of my nails, then I tapped them off and dunked them in my green concoction. Have a look :-).

I just cracked open a brand new bottle of Pure Acetone to clean up after the marbling, and there was a lot to clean up even with my nails tapped off. I don't know if I will use glitter again in marbling because it ended up everywhere! Also, after previewing my pictures, I will make sure to moisturize better before taking pictures. I apologize immensely for my cuticles and dried hands. The acetone really did a number on them. My sister just gave me and Elf Cuticle Pen that I will be more diligent in using after cleaning up with Pure Acetone. That being said, I always think marbling is fun and unique. If you haven't tried it before you should make a point to!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a safe and fun St. Patty's. May no Leprechauns puke on you!

Color me Marbleized

So my husband is on duty today and I needed a project. So, after I spruced up the house a bit I decided I wanted to give a go at Water Marbling. Still learning, but I am actually quite pleased with the results. What do you think? :-)

I used room temp, filtered water and a toothpick to swirl in my designs. The 3 colors of choice for this mani were Essie-Allure, Essie-St. Lucia Lilac and Pure Ice-Love. Topped it all off with China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat. The Pink on all other nails is 2coats of Pure Ice-Love. I hope you like this as much as I do! I can't wait to try some more water marbling!
