Navy & Purple Dry Marble with Some Hex Nail Jewelry!

Hey everyone! Today I have some dark dry marble nails to share!

Last night we went to a horror movie, and tonight we're going to a haunted house and then another horror movie! I swear I'll have a heart attack before the weekend is over!

Anyways, onto the nails!

To start, I applied one coat of American Apparel Mount Royal. On one nail at a time, I applied a second coat of Mount Royal followed by a few blobs of Sonia Kashuk Jewel Orchid right from the brush from the bottle. With a striping brush, I swirled the two colours around until it looked cool!

With some top coat, I decided to add some Hex Nail Jewelry charms because I love these things! They are reusable and I probably have close to 50 by now!

What do you guys think of this look? I feel like these were hard to photograph because of the glare but I really liked them!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! I'll be back with some glitter nails, happy Friday! =)

Blue Sheer Marble with Peach Curved Lines Featuring Some OPI Color Paints!

Hey everybody! Today I have some blue marble nails with peach accents to share!

So I survived another eight and a half hours of classes and labs with no breaks today! I'm honestly worried I won't survive one of these crazy Mondays this year. My immunology midterm went really well and now I'm just so glad to be home and in bed. We raced over to the polling station after school and I made it in time to vote! So I guess today was pretty successful but after not sleeping well last night and being out for so long today I don't feel so great. Tomorrow I'm sure I will though!

Onto the nails!

I started off like I did for my rainbow marble nails, stippling on blobs of colour and allowing them to overlap. I used OPI Turquoise Aesthetic, Indigo Motif and Revlon Royal.

Next, I went in with OPI Where Did Suzi's Man-Go? and a striper brush.

What do you guys think of these nails? I quite liked them and I love the colour combination!

Squishy Rainbow Marble Using the OPI Color Paints & A Mint and Lilac Look On Top!

Hey everyone! Today I have some super fun rainbow marble nails as well as a mint and lilac look I did on top to share!

Rather than talk a lot about my plan to start posting on here once a day, I'll just try and do it! School has been quite crazy but it has calmed down a little and I'm starting to get used to the workload. So let's get onto the many pictures and the details!

I fell madly in love with the idea of the OPI Color Paints, and once a good review of them came out I was ecstatic! They are definitely amazing (hence why I picked up the rest after I bought the three I used here :P).

I decided to buy the three colours closest to the real primary colours (magenta, yellow and cyan) at first in case I wouldn't have the money to buy them all. They blend together so beautifully as you can see!

For this look I just stippled blobs of each colour (Magenta Muse, Primarily Yellow and Turquoise Aesthetic) in with a small paintbrush, making sure the blobs overlapped.

I'm all about the sheer or partially naked nail look as you likely know, so I loved the sheer and squishy look of these!

They kind of looked like the coolest candies that could ever exist.

I'm also all about challenging myself to recycle manis for the WNAC (Weekly Nail Art Challenge) 2015 so here's what I came up with for the mint and lilac prompt!

I think I've used striping tape once or twice in my nail art life, so I decided to try some out!

These ended up quite girly but I still think they're pretty cool! I used OPI You're Such A Budapest and That's Hula-rious! I think this look as well as lots of dry marbles on Instagram have sparked my love for the technique as you'll see soon on here!

So what do you guys think of these looks? Did you like it better without the pastels on top or with? I prefer them without but I love that I got two totally different looks from the same base!

Thanks so much for taking a look you lovely people! I hope you're all doing well! I'll be back with some more Color Paints looks very soon! Happy Saturday! :)
