Water Marble - Kleancolor Metallics

This is another old picture set.

I decided to try water marbling... again... My first few attempts yielded less than perfect results. This one wasn't perfect either, but I did love it anyway!

I decided to do a rainbow and I chose Kleancolor Metallics Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Sapphire, and Purple.

First, I put on Sally Hansen Celeb City as a base coat.



I figured since water marbling tends to make polishes more sheer, and just in case there were any gaps, the silver foil would look nice.

i don't have any pictures of the cup of water or the swirling process, but i don't think they're really important. For reference, I used a small, ceramic bowl, bottled water, and a knitting needle to swirl.

i didn't tape off my skin because the tape didn't stick... so I had a major cleanup to do.

Here are some pics of the initial mess:






And here is the mani mostly cleaned up and already chipped








(I love that pinkie nail, it looks like a little rainbow in the sky)












Lots of pictures!

Updates and new stuff - flakie edition

So the whole world has been an unending shit show since last october. DF was diagnosed with cancer, my great uncle apparently died in June and this bitch who was "taking care of him" never bothered to tell us (very long story), my beloved grandmother passed away, among other things... its been... bad. I've still been around and about, but I just didn't have the patience to think about writing on this. I would take pictures of my nails but never post them, so i have a lot of them built up O_o

Anyway... on to the polish. Some of you may have seen these already, and I apologize, but I do have a bunch of fun new things :)

Barielle Elle's Spell over red jelly



Isn't it lovely? I waited a long time to wear this, but its worth it :) Elle's Spell is a dark red, sheer jelly with opalescent flakies. The flakies look like every color of the rainbow in the bottle, but mostly appear green and gold while on the nail.



Sooooooooooo pretty :)


Next up: Essie Luxeffects in As Gold As It Gets (over Zoya Sarah)



I really like this one... Its a very sheer champagney gold flake, no opalescence or glitteries in this one



It doesn't get the love of its ultra fantastic friend Shine of the Times, but I still like it :)

Speaking of Shine of the Times...



Whee! I don't know why there's only one picture of this D: Also, I don't have a clue what its over...

Sally Hansen Glass Slipper over Joe Fresh Wave



This one is strange... it really looks like crushed glass... no shimmer, no opalescence, just clear flakes in a clear base.



The thing with this is that it makes polish look pitted, like you had little bits of gravel stuck in your polish at some point. I don't love it...

That's all for now :3

*EDIT*

Of course, I forgot to add one...

Finger Paints Flecked over Chine Glaze Sexy in the City



I really like this one!

Green and teal flakies in a milky base. To look at all of the FP flakies in the bottles, they all look alike... But they turn out a little better on the nail lol
