Blue & Purple Marble

This post should have came in earlier but then I was caught up with my exams and birthdays. So, Sunday morning here I am blogging my pending posts.

Last Tuesday, my friend brought her good friend over to my place as her friend has come over to Medan for a visit. And she wanted to get her pedi done before she leaves the next day.

I had no idea at first on what I should do for her toe nails. 

Dry marbling is pretty nice, fast, long lasting and pretty awesome too. 

I chose two colors, which are dark royal blue and a beautiful silky purple color. And white for the swirls to made of.

To do this dry marbling is pretty easy. There are two types of dry marbling I came across.

First, you can use a sandwich plastic wrap or any easy to work with plastic wraps or bag. Then paint on the bag few or two if you like to limit them. To create designs, use a toothpick and drag the polish when Its still wet to your desired pattern.As you wait for the marbling pattern to dry, paint a choice of your color with a base coat color. Once the polish on the plastic bag is dried and when the base color is slightly still wet/tacky, cut out or paste the dry marbling that you should easily be able to peel it off. Use tweezers to help you tuck in the sides of the marbling to the nail. Once that is done, protect the nail with a top coat and this will help you to prevent from chipping.

The second version is the one I use and this is much faster process. After applying a base coat and wait for it to dry completely, paint one half of the nail with one color and the other half with another color. Then, quickly use a white or other color that you prefer, place small dots on the still wet polish and use a safety pin or toothpick ans swirl the white dots around the nail and make your desire pattern.

Here's the picture to my dry marbling.

I hope you like the mani. Drop your comments below on what you think of this mani.

Blue Tribal

After the tribal I did, Neon Summerblast, my friend, Suhana asked for a tribal mani. I was thinking of using just few colors instead of the many colors I used for my earlier mani.

I used two shades of blue and I used acrylic paint in Black to draw on some lines and dots to create a tribal pattern.

This tribal mani was simple and has lots of details on the main toe.

This is my favorite tribal so far.

Tell me what you think of this mani.

Gold & Glamorous

I was thinking this weeks mani should be something more woman, elegant and some touch of glam to it.

I was thinking gold nail polish will be good.  And for the touch of some woman and elegant, dark fuchsia will be great combo to the gold.

I added some gold stripes to the fuchsia and stones to my gold thumb. 

I love this mani !

Flower Bunch

I wanted to finally try stamping all over again after putting it away down under in my nail art kit box because I failed to make/stamp the patterns properly.

I painted my toe nails light turquoise color nail polish. And I chose a simple flower pattern which has 3 cute flowers in different sizes. I used black polish for the flowers and I repeatedly stamped over the big toes. The repeatedly stamping created this not-so-perfect-but-pretty mani. I liek how the flowers didnt turn out to perfect but the was like some faded ones and some real black ones.

Fusion Peacock

My very first nail art design was using a hair pin and it turned out to look like some sort of peacock feather pattern. I did it for my cultural Indian clothing - Saree.

So, here is the picture of my first nail art picture.

My friend wanted the peacock nail art. And I did something similar but changed a little, added some fusion to it. I really like how the mani turned out. Closed up picture clearly shows the colors used and I just love it.

Tell me what you think.
