another watercolor

I was talking to my BF one night and asked him what I should do to my nails. He said, "Gray, purple, and black." I think he was just trying to feign an interest in my ramblings that night.

Heh, little did he know, I can do anything with polish. ;-)

This is what I came up with, Dove, black, and to be perfectly honest, I cannot remember the purple I used. Sorry. all watercolored up.

 I know this one is blurry, but I liked it as i was trying to blur the lines anyway.

more water color!

I love doing the watercolor effect. You can find my tutorial >>here<<.

First off, let me say I LOVE this polish. This is Revlon Matte Suede Powder Puff. It's got a neat texture. It's not quite matte, it's not quite suede. I couldn't get it to photograph, but there is a tiny bit of a blue sheen to it.

 Ahh, ok, so on to the final look. This is Blair, Kelly, and Caitlyn.

Watercolor Tutorial!!!

So I've done a watercolor before. I got so many compliments on it I have done it 3 times since. Then I was asked to do a tutorial. So...Here it is. This is going to be a little wierd, but yeah...It's pretty easy!

First off, materials. You will need:
nails painted a base coat (I used Lavender Cloud)
a thick fast drying top coat (Seche)
as many colors as you want to watercolor (I used Kelly, Ibiza, and Tru)
a quarter inch paint brush (Or, the brush you use to clean up your mani)
Acetone

I know I have Dove pictured above, but I tried it with Dove and it was too light, I went with Kelly.

so a small dot of polish, take your art brush dip it in acetone, and with a light touch (as to not go through the seche, which I did a couple of times) move it around, make a design. Repeat with other colors.

Pretty easy, huh?

Here, watch this video. There is no loud goofy music, I'm not even talking in it. you can just see what it looks like. I know it's blurry. If I ever do another one I will try to do it better.

This is the finished product.

Try this!! It is incredibly easy!

water colors part II

Continuing from yesterday, this kinda reminds me of marble countertops...

This is Spoiled Visually Slimming, Zoya Dove, ChG White On White, and OPI Rumples Wiggin'

Then because everything is better with sparkles...

Thanks for reading!

water colors...

Sarah @ Samariums Swatches did this AWESOME Water color mani. I LOVED IT!!!

(I like this better than marbling, I think)

So, I did my own version! This is Lavender Cloud with Spoild Toad-ally Amazing, CC Pucci-licious, and OPI Funky Dunkey.

Please ignore the angry cuticle. :( I have been chewing on my cuticles. I promise, I'll stop.

 Then, I covered it with Northern Lights.

Tune in tomorrow for the other half of this mani...i like it more than this one.
