Pink Black White Marble

Good news for those of you who have tried water marbling and it did not turn out as nice as you wanted: Every time I have marbled, I have gotten better at it each time. So no worries, you'll get it! It just takes practice and patience. One piece of advice is to not swirl it with the toothpick as much. That's what I learned this time.

ughhh, that second photo is the hand I did first. Just as I said, I get better each time! haha

Here's what I used:

Valentines Hearts and More

As you might have seen, my last post was my effort to acknowledge Valentine's Day. Here are my nails from a few years ago (when I was in high school and had lots of free time: something I no longer have. sigh.). But anyways, the design follows the classic Valentines-y theme, unlike this year's design.

I don't know what I painted on that one pointer finger that's out of the frame. I guess it was my way of censoring a crappy looking nail. ha ha ha

Valentines Nails..? Maybe...?

I LOVE SPARKLES! I am obsessed with this sparkly pink color! It's sooooo cute! I didn't want to do an over the top Valentines day nail design this year but I thought this design was a little Valentines-ey because it's pink and girly (Can I get away with that? Is that right?). Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's day, but I like that I have a reason to use girly pink sparkles! You could probably get away with painting it even when it's not the holiday but it's not something I personally would do (not exactly like this).

The first photo has a nice view of the gradient I did but the second photo has a better angle to show the color of the sparkles. It's so hard to get both!

I used Essie's "We Can Do It Pink!" for the base color and "A Cut Above" for the sparkles.

Hope you have a great Valentine's Day!
