China Glaze White Cap

The only polish I picked up from ChG Anchors Away collex was White Cap. I read that it's very sheer so I did 2 coats over 2 coats SH Insta-Dri Whirlwind White.
Can't really see the subtle sparkle it had, but I took a few pics anyway.



 

I added some water decals from Viva La Nails, too.

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!
