Philippines Watermarble

Hi guys! I'm back with another manicure for Watermarble Month. Today, I decided to do a design inspired by the Philippines' flag colours. If you've been watching the news, you would know that a massive typhoon hit the Philippines and was said to be the second deadliest Philippines typhoon. It killed at least 4000 people.
If you didn't know, I am actually from the Philippines and moved to Australia about 3 years ago. I have a couple of family members there but thankfully, they weren't hurt.

More details after the jump.

Christmas Coloured Watermarble

Hey guys! I'm back with my 6th manicure for Watermarble Month. This time, I chose to do a Christmas coloured Watermarble. Sorry it looks kind of messy, my top coat smeared the red :(

Products used:

Base colour - Sally Hansen Insta-Dri 'Whirlwind White'

Watermarbling colours - Ulta3 'Frog Prince', Ulta3 'Sizzling Red', Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 'White On'

Pastel Blue, Pastel Purple and White Watermarble

Hi guys! I'm back with my 3rd manicure for Watermarble Month! For this mani, I chose a suggestion on Instagram that said 'Pastel Blue and Purple!' but I chose to add white because they weren't spreading well together :(

This design was SUPER easy to do! One of the easiest designs I've ever done. I just did the usual bullseye and then got my smallest dotting tool and dragged from the centre to the sides of the cup. Then, I aligned my nail and dipped :)

Products used:

Pastel Purple (I made my one by mixing an old purple with white polish)

Ulta3 'Soft Hydrangea'

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 'White On'

Dotting tool from 15pc brush set. Can be found on my links page ♥

And I just noticed the green polish looks yellow and the pale yellow polish looks white... damn you Iphone camera!!

Anyway, the products I used for this design are striping tape, studs and complementary colours! Click the links below to find out where I got them!

Blue Watermarble

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!

Rainbow Gradient w/ Rhinestones

Hey guys!
I decided to use my mani from yesterday and add a few rhinestones to it!

So colourful <3

I actually DIDN'T have white-coloured rhinestones. What I did was, I used regular silver rhinestones and painted white nail polish on top of them :)

Hooray for improvising! :D

I hope you enjoyed today's mani!
Au revoir!
