Pop of Coral

Happy Sunday!

I have a hard time, very, very hard time deciding which color I like the best. I just can't pick- oranges, corals, reds, greens, blues, purples, I love how clean white is and the subdued mood- black. Anywho- today, I have to admit that corals beat out the others.

I'm getting ready for the coming week so it's time for a mani.
Sinful's Hazard and Snow Me White were clean and cheery and just what I needed.

As I'm sure most people who see my designs will tell you, I only do designs on the ring fingers- otherwise it's overwhelming and I don't like it. (That's just me being Ashley.) :)

Water marbling is how I did the design. There are a lot of great clips on Youtube and I haven't found any that are better than the rest as they all give you the same steps. The only words of advice that I can share with you is to make sure that the nail polish is opaque enough to not disappear and actually fluid enough to spread out. (I tried using Essie and it sank to the bottom- wtf?) Oh, and one last thing, I'm showing you a picture of how much tape I use. I've seen some videos where there is enough on one finger to tape all the boxes at the Post Office leading up to Christmas- you don't need it! A little dab'll do ya. And besides, tape isn't cheap, use it wisely.


I've been sporting neked nails and I don't like it! >:(

What I'm using. Nail Prep and Seche Vite from Sallys.

I painted a base white color so that the marbling will pop.

Two pieces of tape- one on top and the other wrapped around.



*sigh* so much better! :)
