Nails I Love
HALLOWE’EN
WEEK – Blood Water Marble
Hi Goddesses
So, I’ve become a
little obsessed with water marbling of late, and am getting in the habit of
doing one every Sunday night so it becomes My Monday Marble Mani lol – mmmm
that sounds good lol – and I hit on this idea for Hallowe’en, but would have
probably thought of it eventually anyway, with red being one of my favourite
colours.
I am finding lately
that I no longer count sheep, and that my favourite falling asleep (or actually
NOT falling asleep) trick is to think of colours that would work well together for
marbling or other art. Shheeeesh –
something’s a little loose in this head!
Unfortunately, this
one wasn’t as easy as you’d think – I found it very hard to find a lighter red
that didn’t go pink in the water. You
should have seen my first bullseye!
There was pink and purple and every shade in between, lol but bugger me,
there wasn’t any red!
Eventually I settled
on OPI Vodka and Caviar, as it just behaved better than the others, Color Club
Red-ical Gypsy for the vampy red and OPI Boris & Natasha (one of my very
favourites) for the burgundy red / dried blood.
As I said, I really
love water marbling. I think it’s
something about not knowing what I’m going to end up with – it mystifies me how
Colette can get every nail looking pretty much the same. How does she do that ?? Who knows, but I find water marbles more
beautiful than anything else, they really hypnotise me.
As is often the
case, it’s the index and middle finger on the left hand that I love the
most. This is the 2nd set of
nails that I do, so I assume it’s better cos I learn from what didn’t work out
on the thumb! As always, there was one
particularly gorgeous pattern that ended up on the tape – gggrrr, Must Place
Nail Better!
Really loved wearing
this. Maybe it doesn’t look that much
like blood after all, but it sure was pretty J
Enjoy xxx J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
