Sorry it's been so long, I'm still getting used to this blogging thing.
Today I have for you an older nail art that I did but haven't posted here yet. I had wanted to do a watermarble using black and clear over a gradient, but when I got a whole bunch of stripers from the Dollar Tree I started thinking rainbow stripes instead. The following is the result of a quite time consuming mani which was totally worth it! I didn't want to take this one off!
OMG!! I love how this came out so much!! Please read more after the break!
To do this manicure, I started with a base of two coats OPI Alpine Snow, which is a pure white.
After the white, I used my stripers to freehand the rainbow stripes along the nail, then I used Seche Vite topcoat and let it all dry.
After everything was dry I used Cult Nails Nevermore and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Clearly Quick to watermarble random designs over the rainbow stripes. I top coated one more time once the marble was dry.
I definitely want to try this design again with different designs under the marble and different color combinations! The possibilities are endless!!
I hope you all enjoyed this design and I will be back soon with more. :)
Cult Nails polish retails for $12.00 a bottle and can be found at their website.
Sally Hansen can be found at most retailers including CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid.
I found the striping polish at Dollar Tree for $1.00 a bottle.
All products in this post were purchased by me with my own money.
OH wow this is really pretty!! Thanks for the steps too! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks incredible. I've been dreaming about a rainbow mani with black nail art on top.
ReplyDeleteWOWOWOW This is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty mani. I may have to try this soon. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI'm the one bothering you from your instagram! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteI tried to do this manicure a while back (with X-mas color stripes underneath) and when I tried to water marble with the clear polish, it dried immediately and would not work. I tried it with both Seche Vite and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails UV top coat and no luck!
It's so gorgeous, I wish I could get it right!

ReplyDeleteI didn't know you could water marble with clear... I figured it would dry too fast. Ohhhhhhh, the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning! I love the idea of the marble with clear. I've got to try this someday, but in the meantime, I'm sharing with all of my fans! Thank you! ~Ana
