Metal Shavings

I can't decide what this manicure looks like.  The intention was to mix metals after seeing the base coat color.  But now that it's done, it reminds me strongly of chocolate or some other edible confection.  All I really know is it was simple and easy to design.


I coated four coats of Ulta Twilight.  I then dipped a thin brush in the following colors and swiped them across the nail: Orly Luxe, Rage and China Glaze Millennium.  I coated once with Seche Vite.

I'm Seeing Red pics

I had to do two posts with my phone. So complicated when you don't have a computer, but technology is cool!

I'm Seeing Red

So I'm without a computer because my laptop died, and am hoping this post will happen via my iPhone.  

I did a marble, 1 because I like to do it. And 2 because I just got a new dish I will use solely for marbling instead of our kitchen glass dishes (which my husband will be happy about).

It's a double marble, as I call it, because after doing the metallic base marble, I marbled on top of that with the added red stripe layer. It's a fun look if you can do it because then you have opposing directionality in the marble patterns.

I can't post links, but I used the following colors for the base marble: China Glaze "In Awe if Amber" and "Twenty-Four K", Essie "Steel-ing the Scene" and OPI "Brand New Skates"

I then marbled with China Glaze "Twenty-Four K" and "Grape Juice" with Orly "Razzle".

I finished with two coats Seche Vite.

I've added a picture of my marble setup and new tiny marble dish.

Because Nails Just Don't Polish Themselves.


They also can't be painted just one color any more. This is another Konad creation. It was hard to photograph--it's a light purple/pink and metallic green.

I also ordered some more plates yesterday to add to my collection.
