I started off with 1 coat of China Glaze For Audrey which has to be one of my all time favourite polishes. Then I added a swipe of China Glaze Sun-Kissed from the new Summer Neons Collection and another swipe of For Audrey and one nail at a time took a toothpick and swirled the polishes together. I totally loved the end result of this! The shimmer in Sun-Kissed really added to the creme finish of For Audrey I think.
I loved the thumb on this one! Please excuse the bubbles for the first time the topcoat I used bubbled in just that one little spot! One thing to watch for when doing needle marbles is not puncturing through to the base coat. I had a little trouble with this on my middle nail, so that's why it looks a little lumpy.
When I went to start this marble I had noooo idea about what colours I wanted to use. When I looked in my China Glaze drawer I was immediately drawn to these two! I honestly thought it was going to be a complete fail, but I think it ended up working out really well.
What do you think of the neon marbled with a creme? Is it working for you or do you think it's not so hot?
Hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday!
Don't forget to stop by The Lacquerologist, BeautyGnome and Manicurator to see what these gorgeous ladies have come up with today!
so pretty! I need to try this out lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Maddy! For sure try it! I'd love to see it if you do :)
DeleteSuch a cool technique! I like the way it looks like one color is swimming in the other color.
ReplyDeleteI love this technique! I was actually trying to go for that! I'm glad you like it and picked up on that Victoria!
DeleteI like the way you used a toothpick instead of a needle, I teied and found it so fiddly, thankyou Stephanie! & good tip on not puncturing the basecoat,also where I went wrong!
ReplyDeleteI always seem the puncture the basecoat! It really took me a few tries until I figured it out the depth of it. I've actually never tried it with an actual needle! A toothpick seemed just as usable to me :)
DeleteI love them together.
ReplyDeleteThanks sue! It was a hunch and I'm glad it paid off! It really was a fun mani to wear :)
