Green with Envy: Dry Marble Mani

Hello Lovelies,

Mixing is the name of the game for this mani. While I love water, sometimes I don't have time for a water marble. That's where the "dry" marble comes in. By simply putting one stripe of each colour on my nail and using a brush (or dotting tool or any pointy implement) to mix the colours, you can achieve one stunning manicure. Swirling, like the hairspray mani, produces different result each time. it all depends on how you mix the colours.

 

For this one, I swiped back and forth, light into dark green and vice versa. Mixing too much can cause you to lose the pattern but you will know when it's perfect.

 

Polishes Used:
Zoya - Shawn
Zoya - Tiana
essence the gel - Don't Be Shy (that's the one neon green)

Abstract Nail Art

Or is it just dropping blobs of nail paint everywhere and hoping for something cool? That's what I did for this abstract watercolor nail art. A stroke of the nail polish brush, any random directon, or not, a skinny brush dipped in acetone, then a flick of the wrist to smudge the paint and voila. Everyone can be an artist!

Hello Lovelies,

I hope you've been having a spectacular, albeit hot week. I need to work on my abstract skills but it's fun to practice. Tell me, what you think of today's mani?

Colours used from l to r:

Essence the gel: 40 play with my mint, 30 let's get lost, 27 don't be shy, 52 amazed by you, 9 lucky

Zoya - Tasha

Happy weekend, darlings!

Zoya Nail Polish - Felicity

Normally on extra cold days, I like to wear a dark color to match my mood but I thought I'd combat that on this below 20 degree day with a more spring like color. After the anticipation of my 3 Free nail colors from Zoya Nail polish coming built up to nervous levels, it finally came in much to my delight. One of the the colors I selected was Zoya Felicity, described as a "Soft dusty tea-rose pink with champagne and bright pink duochrome shimmer and flecks of gold."

Christmas is over but Zoya is still gifting. The amazing nailpolish company has a FANTASTIC promo going on right now just because they made it to 20,000 Fans on facebook - granted, that is no small feet and I truly appreciate them showing the love to loyal fans.

Ladies (and the few gentlemen), Zoya is giving each person who likes their Facebook Page, 3 FREE nailpolishes of their choice. that's right, YOU pich whatever three colors you want - this is the hard part because they have so many gorgeous colors to choose from. This fab promo won't last long though, you only until January 7th, 2011 and seeing as their website has been bombarded since this promo began, I'd say get on this right away (TIP: I'd visit their website during the twilight hours so smooth ordering). It will take some time to get an email confirmation but once you see the "your order is complete" page - you're fine.

Visit the Zoya facebook Page, hit like and grab your code. What colors did i select? I ordered the following:
