St. Patrick’s day is tomorrow and in honor of it, I decided to pull all my green polishes and think shit what now?!?
I don’t have too many green polishes, but not having done actual nail art in a while. I decided I needed to pull out my mini solo cups and water marble. My conversation with Krystal from @queenofnails83 last week, made me think about doing this.
Here are all the colors I used:
- Bee’s Knees – Prototype #2
- 1850 Artisan Polish – New Life
- Vapid – Rock Candy
- Great Lakes Lacquer – That Ducking Lake
- Serendipity – Hike & Be Happy
- Polish my life – Commando and Stripped
- 1850 Fast Track QDTC
- Seche Vive Gel Top Coat
- Vapid Purple Polish Eater Latex Barrier
- Gold foil
I used Stripped as my base and use Fast Track QDTC. After allowing the base to dry for 15 mins, I began my water marble target.
I then prepped my fingers with the latex barrier over all my fingers, I do one hand at a time in order to work with the other hand.
Once I finished water marbling and peeling the latex barrier from both hands I chose random pieces of gold foil to apply over all my nails.
Topping it all with a coat of Fast Track and Seche Vive. I do this double coating because I have found that gold foil tends to flake of if you use 2 coats of any QDTC, the Gel like topper is thicker and tends to hold the foil in place longer.
So what do you think of pot of gold water marble?
