Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Day 25: Watercolors
25 Tuesday Feb 2014

I looked forward to this prompt since the beginning! I love marbling.
For this look I decided to marbled all the colors together since I usually marble separately. I wanted to push myself and get more practice with the traditional marbling technique.
This manicure came out so much better than I hoped! I love how I can still see the marbling under the Nimbus technique. It looks like a true watercolor!
I used 2 coats of butter London Cotton Buds as my base.
I marbled with Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas, It’s Totally Karma and Cab Fare. I protected the marble with 2 thick coats of Seche Vite.
I then used a cotton swab, Zoya Remove +, Zoya Giovanna, and Sephora by OPI Cab Fare for the “nimbus”. I protected it with 1 coat of Seche Vite before finishing with 1 coat of Zoya Opal.
Eeep! I really love how multi-dimensional this is! It came out exactly how I wanted except better!

When I think surrealism I think abstract…but there is going to be an abstract prompt.
I went with a cartoon time warp idea because I still get surreal “beyond reality” with some semblance of truth…if that made any sense! 😛
Enjoy!
I used 2 coats of butter London Cotton Buds and 1 coat of Seche Vite as my base.
I “water-colored” with Julie G White Orchid, Sephora by OPI Caffeine Fix, Mr. Right Now and American Apparel Neon Red.
I matte the color with Essie No Place like Chrome.
I stamped with MoYou London plate 04 from the Princess Collection and Konad Special Polish in Black.

I am finally caught up and I have to say this is my favorite prompt so far. I love snow manicures, they are just so sparkly!
My inspiration was snow on Evergreen trees. Enjoy!
I started with 2 coats of Zoya Giovanna as my base. I sponged a little Zoya Suvi for a multi-dimensional look.
I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 319 and Essie No Place Like Chrome.
I sponged with Zoya Crystal and Essie On a Silver Platter.

I do not have the biggest sweet tooth but I love eating chocolate-covered strawberries around Valentine’s Day! I have no preference between white or milk chocolate…they are both good to me! 🙂
I do not own a true red so I layered a couple of layers of OPI Do You Think I’m Tex-y? over OPI Red Lights Ahead…Where?.
I added “strawberry seeds” with a cuticle stick and Color Club Almost Famous and Sephora by OPI Ms. Can’t Be Wrong.
I drizzled with Milani Dark Coffee and butter London Cotton Buds.
I hope you enjoy!

I have never been huge on Valentine’s Day but I do love the color schemes!
Since my stamping and freehand detailing were shot during this flare, I used the sponging technique. I LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW THIS CAME OUT.
It kind of reminds me of galaxies!
I used 2 coats of Chanel Gondola as my base.
I sponged with Zoya Reece, Color Club Warhol, Sinful Colors Secret Admirer and China Glaze Caribbean Temptation.
Eeep! I hope you enjoy this manicure as much as I do!
