Snow on a Blue Day

Someone else did a mani like this, but I can't find it for some reason, so if anyone knows who this is, please leave a comment and I will give credit. Thanks.

I started off with Eyeko Pastel Polish for nice nails (a nice iridescent blue).





Then I added one coat of sinful colors Queen of Beauty starting at my cuticles going up on half of the nail.


The NEXT day I added a coat of ChG Polar Ice (I think) from the ChG Glitters collection that I picked up from Sally's. I thought this gave it more of a 'just-fallen-glittery-snow' feel.





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!
