Lazy 15: Day 4 (Finally :)- Water Marble

And today we finally have last Friday's manicure! I really like water marble manicures in general, however, this wasn't my best work. I really love the way my first one turned out here; I think one of the main differences was my color choice. The red, white, and blue turned out better than the almost see-through pastels I used this time. There's also a water marble tutorial on that older post, so check it out if you're interested!

Here are the pics:

 For whatever reason, my blue polish actually looks pretty good on my first finger. Not quite sure why... :) In real life, I loved the polish combo. However, here, the light green and teal blue are practically identical.

I also did my left hand nails (this is my dominant hand so it usually doesn't turn out great :) and was pleasantly surprised! Besides the colors, I think the designs themselves were pretty good! The thing I love about water marbles is that you can create really interesting designs in the water. My main problem is then getting the best bit onto the nail; I'm cursed to end up with the best part on the tape which I then peel off and throw away. :/ Oh well, something to work on. LOL!

Polishes used: OPI Pink Friday, OPI Gargantuan Green Grape [don't you just love the name of this???], and Wet n Wild Fast Dry Teal or No Teal.

Really excited for tomrrow's prompt which is: Favorite Color. Here's a hint, mine is pink :) And I'm planning on keeping it simple and then recycling the mani for Friday.

Keep painting!!!!

Lazy 15: Day 5- Galaxy

Yes, yes, I know I said I'd put up the water marble yesterday, and I didn't. I'm very sorry, and I do hope to do it sometime soon. But in order to not get too far behind, I have today's theme, which is galaxy nails!

 For starters, I just have to say that I LOVE galaxy nails. They looks soooo pretty when done well, and I always like to see people's individual twist on this design. I tried galaxy nails once before here, and I think I actually like those better, although I was pleased with these as well. :)

 Anyway, one great thing with this technique is that it's so simple to do!! You just start with a black base polish, then sponge on any colors you like to make the "galaxy/nebulae" look. And to finish everything off, I freehanded some stars.

What do you think? Have you ever tried galaxy nails, and do you like them?

I'm starting to get excited for Friday's post, feminine nails! That's actually my birthday, and I have some fun nail art to try out! Woo hoo, can't wait!! :)

Until next time, happy polishing!!!
