China Glaze Crackle Glaze Metals - Tarnished Gold

So as you ladies saw yesterday, I picked up all 6 of the new China Glaze Crackle Glaze Metals. Today I'm showing Tarnished Gold over China Glaze Rose Among Thorns (neon). I loved the formula and the color SO much better than the Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Tarnished Gold that I picked up a few months ago. You can see my post of that here. That one had a faded gold color and barely cracked. O.P.I. has also released a gold shatter, which I'll probably get in the next couple of weeks. Hope you like this one as much as I do!

Rose Among Thorns (neon) by itself. Forgive the bald spot and ding on my pinky.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Snappy Sorbet and Konad M82

I've seen this image used layered before and I just LOVED how it looked. I can't remember where I saw it though so sorry I can't give credit to whoever it was =\ The one I saw had a hot pink base and then a black stamp layered over a white stamp. I kind of liked that one better, but I also wanted to use different colors to not be completely mindless so here's mine! I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Snappy Sorbet for a base. I bought this polish as a stamping polish, but wanted to give it a try on its own. I used Konad M82 in Konad White first and then M82 in Konad Red. I love the layered stamp look, but I think the color combo was just a bit too subtle for me.

Vintage Water Marble

I didn't really know what to call this post, but the colors remind me of the 70's! I actually did this water marbling the other day just to practice so I only did it on one hand. Wasn't very crazy about my color choice, but I didn't want to use too many colors because last time I did that it looked super psychedelic and I hated it lol. I started off with a white base and then marbled using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow, Sun Kissed, and Green With Envy. I LOVE these polishes to marble with because their formula is so watery and the polish drips very easily. I got mine at Target for like $2.04/each. My middle finger looks all messed up because I started to make my bullseye and realized I forgot to tape my finger, so I grabbed my lip balm and put it around my nail instead of tape (I heard some people use it instead of tape). I think I must have marbled on top of a glob of lip balm because when I put my topcoat part of my marble came right off =[ I will be sticking to tape from now on!
