Maybelline Sun Drops

This is another one I got from my mom's closet, Maybelline Sun Drops. Not too fantastic on it's own (I didn't swatch it alone because it looks so sheer). But it's lovely as a layering polish.

I layered it over these 2 OPI minis that I got from my mom about 8 years ago. I lost the packaging so I don't know what their names are.

Here they are alone with the lighter one on the ring finger and the darker on all the other nails. These covered in 2 coats.

Then I added a layer of Sun Drops:

A nice little holo sparkle, but I wanted MORE SPARKLE!!! So I added a layer of L.A. Colors Sparkling Apricot.

This was actually my Thanksgiving mani and, as you can see, I am cleaning out my camera!

Thanks for looking!

First Water Marbling Attempt

I picked up ChG Far Out the other day on clearance at Sally's. WooHoo! I am not too into browns (I don't think I own any except this one), but this turned out to be lovely.

2 coats, looks like a caramel brown IRF- good enough to eat!

I wore this for a day then I decided to try water marbling, since it seems to be a big hit right now.

I used Eyeko Pretty Polish for neat nails and SH Diamond Strength in *white* (not sure of the real name)

Here's how they turned out:

I like my ring finger in the above pic the best

Not too great, but this is my first try. It was hard to figure out what water temp to use. I read room temp somewhere and then after I did this I read cold water is good. Can anyone confirm?

Sometimes the polish would sink to the bottom of the cup or it would harden too fast and create a film. And you can't even see the Eyeko pink one! Ugh, very frustrating and harder than it looks.

I did put my nail in straight down instead of parallel to the surface of the water, which now I know is wrong.

But there's always next time.

Thanks for looking!
