Hot Pink 80's Marble

Whew! I have successfully caught up on blogging. This is my current manicure and it definitely has an 80's vibe with its black, silver and hot pink color scheme. This idea wasn't my original, it is the result of failed previous water marbling attempts. My colors weren't working properly. These colors did and it stuck. I love it. Good things can come from failure!

Flash for Color:

I painted two coats of China Glaze Cheers To You and marbled China Glaze Liquid Leather and Platinum Silver with Orly Passion Fruit. The manicure was finished with one coat of Seche Vite.

Scaly

Two brand new polishes showcased in this manicure. First it's Yara from Zoya's fall 2011 Smoke and Mirrors Collection and second is a new (to me) Special Yellow Stamping Polish from Konad. The pair was marvelous. However, it was a bit to fall for me yet on the color scheme. I still want to hold on to summer as long as I can! My side note is that I painted this while on vacation and I didn't have my camera. So the shot is after several days of wear and you can catch some tip wear in the photos.

I painted three coats of Zoya Yara on my nail and added Bundle Monster plate bm203 with Special Yellow Stamping Polish. Manicure was topped off with one coat of Seche Vite.

Purple Pop Water Marble

It was water marbling time again. I really liked this manicure; the colors really blended together well. There were a few bald spots in the marble where you can see the silver underneath, but I kinda like that.

I put a base coat of China Glaze Cheers To You and marbled Zoya Mira, Gemma and Cynthia. One coat of Seche Vite was used to finish the look..

Sparkle Filigree

Quick, simple, pretty manicure. This was so easy to create and very pretty to look at.

I painted three coats of Zoya Faye and added Bundle Monster plate bm201 with Special Pastel Violet Stamping Polish and topped the manicure with one coat of Seche Vite.

Hot Swirl

I loved this manicure. It was so bright and fun. I purchased some new Konad Special Polishes from OC Nail Art. This pink was perfect and I had to get it.

I painted three coats of Zoya Pippa and added Bundle Monster plate bm210 with Konad Special Stamping Polish in Psyche Pink. I used a top coat of Seche Vite.

Flower Decals

I've been working on my water decal skills and this is my second attempt at something. One things I've learned with decals is that I have to be computer and vector art savvy. One thing I'm not. But I'm learning. However, for these flower designs I found some free vector art on the Internet and made the decals with those. I liked the way the design turned out, but decals are still pretty tricky. So I'm hoping practice makes perfect. But for now, here's the latest:

I painted three coats of China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint and added China Glaze Paper Chasing with Bundle Monster plate bm203. On top I added the flower decals and two coats of Seche Vite.

Retro Blue

Finally getting around to posting this. I very much like this blue and have been having fun with my new Bundle Monster plates.

I painted three coats of China Glaze First Mate and then added Konad plate design m65 on my pinky fingers and on the rest used Bundle Monster Plate bm203 all with Konad special polish in White. I used one coat of Seche Vite for the top coat.
