Water marble ATTEMPT

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Welp, exactly what the title says, this was my millionth attempt at water marbling...I just do not have the knack for it whatsoever :(

I started with a white base, and used Zoya's Purity. This part came out nicely, so I thought that would set the mood for the rest of the mani, lol..nope. I tried water marbling with two new colors of mine by Color Club. From the Take Wing collection I used Metamorphosis and Sparkle and Soar. Both beautiful colors, so vibrant! Metamorphosis is a teal, and Sparkle and Soar is orange, I figured these colors would look amazing together!

 

I wanted to crawl up in a ball and just paint my nails something bland I was so upset :( lol. It was thick, the first droplet of polish in the water would dry too fast and catch on my orange stick, ugh, a total mess everywhere. I got polish on my table, on my leggings, and definitely all over my hands. I am not sure what the exact reason for the mishap was, I tried making the water room temp, using thin polishes, dropping them in the water quickly, but to no avail. 

Now I have naked nails bc I am uninspired and sad. Hahaha. Will probably paint them tonight after I organize my closet :3

If anyone has any tips, they would be much appreciated!

Framed nude and pink mani!

So today's post is a mani from last week, to make up for me not posting yesterday, lol. I hadn't posted this one in detail anywhere yet, so I figured why not on here? I loved the way this mani turned out!

New haircut, new organization!

So no nail art post today but I do have something somewhat related :)

I went to the Container Store with Joe int he evening so he could get some weird contraptions to wrangle all his cables/wires together behind the tv (you can see it at the top of the pic lol) and while we were there I noticed they had these cute 'shoe' boxes for $1.89 each. I brought home 11 of them and they are perfect size to hold all my polish! I organized them by brand, and of course mixed a few brands together to get more in a box. In total I have over 300 now, and the spreadsheet I made a month ago needs some serious updating.

Secondly, today I got my hair cut! Over 6in of hair was cut off, and I feel so light and free! Especially in this Texas Summer heat! My good friend Cici needed hair models since she is starting out at Toni and Guy and as soon as she asked if I'd volunteer for a bob I said yes! I love it so much!

Haul from 6/23!

So yesterday my fiancé, Joe, and I went to Best Buy, Ulta and Sally Beauty Supply with Ian. New router at Best Buy, and some great finds at Ulta and Sallys.

Pictured above is the China Glazes I found. First is Champagne Bubbles, which was on clearance for 99c at Ulta! It is a pretty gold/yellow shimmer with silver glitter in it. I think it would be great during the holidays! The next two are from the new Summer neons collections, and purchased at Sallys! Flirty Tankini and Pink Plumeria are both warm pink/coral neons with a beautiful shimmer. I haven't swatched them yet, but from other nail bloggers posts, I've seen they are gorgeous and don't need a white base to be bright! Can't wait to use them!

First post! First attempt at a 'fishtail/ruffle' mani

Hello! And welcome to my blogspot! I decided to make one to have a more specialized blog about my nail/beauty/personal posts. On my tumblr things definitely are scattered into a large mixture of anything that caught my eye on my dashboard. I am going to try and post everyday here, or at least as often as I can. ^-^ 

So this is my first post on my blogspot, and it is the mani I am currently still wearing. I saw a video tutorial by Sarah at Chalkboard Nails the other day for her 'Chevron/Fishtail' mani, and decided to try it out for myself!
