Mermaid Nails

Happy Sunday beauties! I'm super busy right now with my school work so it's another short post today. Here are some mermaid nails using 2 coats of Orly Mermaid Tale over 2 coats of Zoya Ivanka stamped using Konad M34 and MASH 39 in Konad White. Too bad I'm not doing the 31 day nail challenge right now, I could've so used these for the day inspired by a color! I wanted to try the glue base coat on these, but I decided not to because I used Zoya Ivanka before the glitter. Has anyone tried using the glue base coat with some colored under wear before applying the glitter polish? I'm super curious if it works.

Delicate Feathers

Happy Humpday my loves! Today I have a mani I re-created from Pinterest--gotta love Pinterest right? Here's the mani by Tenshi No Hana that inspired me today. I made a glitter sandwich using OPI Don't Touch My Tutu and OPI Pirouette My Whistle and then stamped over it using Konad M77 in Konad White. It came out so pretty and I love how dainty it looks!

Oil Slick Water Marble

Happy Sunday! Today I have an oil slick water marble to show you today. It's one I've been meaning to try. I saw how well the China Glaze New Bohemian Luster Chromes work to water marble from The Polished Mommy and figured I'd use them to create this oil slick look. I used a base of OPI Black Onyx and then used all 6 of the China Glaze New Bohemian Luster Chrome polishes: Deviantly Daring, No Plain Jane, Rare & Radiant, Swanky Silk, Unpredictable, and Want My Bawdy. I tried to make the patterns very random looking and not too much of water marble design on purpose. They came out really cool and they looked even better in person!
