My submission for the NAIL Linkup!
What is part of the ultimate shopping trip? Gold! And where can you find gold? Under the mountain, of course! (Hah, sorry for the Hobbit reference!)
I decided to re-create the mounds and mounds of gold Smaug guards!
Two coats of Urban Outfitters Westside.
Two coats Urban Outfitters Banana Hammock.
Two coats Zoya Maria Luisa.
A generous coat of Sephora by OPI Come to Pappa-razzi!
To finish off I added Julie G Gumdrops Gift of Gold on the tips!

I have been so afraid of marbles! I am not patient enough to let it dry, the polishes smudge, and then I have to take it off…
I decided to try my hand at it again and I LOVE the result.
Tip to the world: NEVER EVER do water-marbling with your Bullmastiff asleep on your lap! (Saachi tends to move in her sleep and convulses when she dreams!)
This reminds me of those spearmint candies!
I wanted to keep the marble bare but I had to damage control after Saachi knocked my fingers (from my left hand) in the cup!
The glitter reminds me of sprinkles!
How cool does this look??
I used 2 coats Julie G White Orchid as my base. It has started to dry and goop (thankfully, for a water marble it does not matter!)
Marbling Polishes:
Sinful Colors Holiday Rebel glitter!
I am so pleased with how this came out! I am slowly getting the hang of the marbling and I am totally hooked!

My favorite part of the holidays is peppermint! I eat peppermint bark by the tin-ful and I regret nothing! 😀
2 coats of Julie G White Orchid as my base.
I sponged Color Club Poptastic half-way and Sephora by OPI Cover Me in Petals closer to the cuticles.
