Hi guys! So today, I just wanted to share with you my Blue Watermarble mani!
If you don't know what a watermarble design is, it is a design made by dropping drops of polish onto a cup filled with water and using a toothpick or dotting tool to drag the colours around and create a design. Some people don't enjoy this process because you have to choose the right consistency of polish and you have to experiment which polishes work and which polishes don't, which take a LOT of time! Also, the clean up is a PAIN for some people but for me, it's easier to clean up than a gradient mani because the colour doesn't seep underneath your cuticles, but that's MY opinion. I don't know if this happens to other people. If you still don't understand me, just click here for a tutorial by Mucking Fusser, the Watermarble Queen ♔
Products used, Sinful Colors - Snow Me White, Ulta 3 - Soft Hydrangea and BC Co. - Shade 21.
Sadly, the polish kept spreading out WHILST I was doing the design so instead of getting clean. straight lines, I got wonky and uneven lines :(
So comment below, are you going to try this type of design? I hope you have a better result than mine if you decide to try watermarbling!
Anyways, I hope you liked this mani and thanks for reading!

Striping Tape Mani
Hi guys! So today, I did a mani using mostly striping tape.
For the pointer and pinky finger, I first did a watercolour design (Click here for a tutorial from Small Good Things) then I used striping tape to do a fishtail design.
As for the middle and ring finger, I did a sort of ombre chevron design. Shay from Shay's Stylista has a wonderful tutorial here!

Pink Fishtail Mani
I hope you had a great week guys! Today I have a Fishtail mani! I was debating whether to post this or not because, believe it or not, it took me TWO HOURS just to get to this mani! My first idea failed, I used polish remover, second idea failed, remover, third idea... you guessed it, FAIL, remover... this goes on for about 50 times and on the 51st idea, I finally made a mani I was satisfied with.
So here it is! I hope you like it!
I used striping tape and applied it in a fishtail pattern.
The glitter is actually supposed to be holographic but I had bad lighting :(

Pink + Glitter Mani!
Good Evening/Afternoon/Morning wherever you are! Today, I have a pink and glitter mani!
I used BC Co, Shade 8 for the lightest shade, Sinful Colors Soul Mate for the coral shade and Avon Fuchsia for the dark shade. Then I used some glitter pieces I got from Bornprettystore.
I sort of have a love-hate relationship with this mani. It looks way worse in real life. :/ The glitter pieces just look weird and random but in the photo, it looks awesome!
I ALSO just got my macro lens and I'm having so much fun with them! Expect to see a lot of swatches soon!
