Water Marbled Skittles!

By now, I'm sure that you've heard about water marbling. If you don't, where have you been? Now, the Queen of Water Marbling is Colette of My Simple Little Pleasures. You can click HERE to here her YouTube Channel (water marbling tutorials!), and you can click HERE to see her amazing blog!

For my water marble, I used the following polishes:

Left to Right: Wet n Wild French White Creme, Wet n Wild 9.0.2.1. Orange, Wet n Wild The Wonder Yellows, China Glaze Electric Beat

When I was doing this manicure, I had time... But I was tired, yet creative. I really didn't feel up to marbling 10 nails, but I wanted to marble! So I went with this! I did the "pointer and middle finger accent nails", which you may have seen on Chalkboard Nails, and painted the remaining nails a solid color! Here's my finish product:

My pointer and middle fingers are 2 coats of Wet n Wild French White Creme, followed by the water marbling with the remaining 3 colors. Wet n Wild 9.0.2.1. Orange and The Wonder Yellows took 3 coats to become opaque, while China Glaze Electric Beat only took 2 coats to reach complete opacity.

I think that water marbling is a ton of fun! It really creates an awesome and extremely unique look! However, it can be very very frusterating.... I speak from experience. This is my only water marble that is worthy of being shown, and it still isn't that good!

And if you're wondering, I cut my nails. A lot. While in Florida, I got a really bad break on my left hand pinky. It hurt sooooo bad. And because I'm a perfectionist, I had to cut all the other nails so that they were the same length. Which hurt a lot too!

So, do you like water marbling? Does it frusterate you? Are you successful a lot of the time? What do you think of mine? Leave a comment and let me know what you think! Thank you so much for reading!

My First Skittles Manicure!

EDIT: This is my 50th post! Happy day! I feel so accomplished! :)


Hello everyone! I now have 8 followers! Yay! :)

Today, I have an awesome manicure to show you! This is probably the best manicure that I have ever done, so I'm really proud of it! I can't wait to show you! Here are the polishes I used...

Nails Inc Highgate, Nails Inc The Southbank, OPI Planks A Lot, Wet n Wild Black Creme, Spoiled (by Wet n Wild) Jewelry Heist

And here's the SKITTLES!

This is what I did on each finger.... Each finger has base coat and top coat on it. Just to get that out of the way.

• Thumb: 2 coats of OPI Planks a Lot and 2 coats of Spoiled Jewelry Heist
• Pointer: 2 coats of Nails Inc The Southbank, stamped with Wet n Wild Black Creme and BM-205.
• Middle: 2 coats of Nails Inc Highgate, dotted with Wet n Wild Black Creme and a bobby pin
• Ring: 2 coats of OPI Planks a Lot and 2 coats of Spoiled Jewelry Heist
• Pinky: 2 coats of Nails Inc The Southbank, dotted with Wet n Wild Black Creme and a bobby pin

Don't you like this nail design? I'm in love with it! I actually wore it for 3 days, which was awesome! I have a funny story to go along with this manicure... I was at Walgreens picking up a few nail essentials and the lady and the beauty counter checked me out and then we got to talking about eyeshadow. What beauty blogger doesn't want to talk about makeup? Then she asked about my nails and how I did all of it! I swear we talked for like 15 minutes! It was really cool, and she was really sweet! :)

So that's my first "skittles" manicure, I hope you liked it! I know that I sure did!

Thanks for reading!
