Illamasqua -Nomad and marble manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you another shade from Illamasqua, called Nomad. It is a beautiful 

apple green shade, which is perfectly opaque after two coats. You can see yourself

the shiny nail polish in the pictures, applied in two coats, without any top coat.

 Here it is the same shade applied  from the quarter of the nail. For this design, I 

made a free hand marble, inspired by this tutorial. I applied a heart shaped rhinestone

on my ring finger and top coated all the nails. What do you think?

Pink and green water marble

Hi,

Today I'll show you the first water marble I'm wearing and that's because never before did I

 manage to do it. The idea came from the plain, white nails I was wearing the day before.

 As I heard that the colours blend together the best if applied on a white base, why 

not try marbling again? So I took a plastic glass with room-temperature water and 

starting combining the nail polishes. I have a short tutorial on this here, check it out.

This are the shades I used: Green With Envy and Aqua Fantasy from Avon, Funky/Fabulous 

from Claire's and #04 from Golden Rose. 

After the marbling was done I created some white and dark green dots to complete the design.

I finished with a clear top coat. What do you think?

St. Patrick manicure - Water Marble

Hi,

Today I tried to make a four-leaf clover water marble manicure, but I only

managed to do it on false nails, not on mine. I thought that it might be because

they are too short; anyway - they were a total mess. Maybe you will try it too and

you will get a better result than me. Firstly, you should paint your nails white or a 

nude colour and then, in a disposable glass, I put alternatively several drops of 

Avon -Green with envy and Sinful Colors -Happy ending. Using a toothpick, I

created the four-leaf clover and then put the nail in the middle of the design.

 

At the end, I applied four green, heart-shaped rhinestones. I got them from a nail art store

called Born Pretty for $3.33 . I finished with a clear top coat. 

What do you think? Could you give me some tips if you have tried it and got a nice result?
