Eeeeek! A Water Marble

Today's Halloween Challenge is water marble. yay. i just looooove water marbles. not.

But I did them anyway, and my first nail tricked me into thinking that it just might not be so bad this time, but no, it turned out bad. Sighhhh. So I only did three nails, and I turned them into monsters and put a little scream on my pinkie to show my frustration with water marble nails. Oh and to be afraid of the monsters.

Yeah, not so great. I like the index finger, but of course, as soon as I finished it, and went to do the middle finger, I totally bumped it and took a little gouge out of it. Arrrrg!

I started with a base of China Glaze Electric Pineapple. Great color! And this was light enough to act as a good base for the other colors. At least I got THAT right.

Then THIS happened.

Without the monsters and the scream. But it needed the scream, trust me. LOL The other polishes I used in this manicure are OPI Funky Dunkey and Tangerine Scene, Wet n Wild Black Creme, and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Be sure to check out the other challengers who are WAAAYYYY better at water marble nails than me. :)

Also: my next etsy sale is today. The Halloween collection and Scooters 4 Hooters will be for sale at 1pm Pacific Time, 4pm Eastern. These usually go fast, so good luck!

  8. These are great! The addition of the eyes really makes them look so different and unique. They came ALIVE! Perfect for Halloween I think!

    This idea may get me to try watermarble for the first time, because I can turn my nails into marblemonsters if I want to.

    1. Oh good! I hope you do give them a try. I am just a whiner since I hate to do things half way, but I don't have the patience to actually practice to get good at this. Good luck! I wish you much success. :)

  9. Bahahah these are hilarious! I won't try water marbling because I can just picture it being a big mess, lots of frustration, a waste of polish and time and me just removing my efforts and going with a glitter polish and calling it a night. LOL I commend your valiant efforts!
