Polish, Polish Everywhere!!

Howdy fellow polish addicts!! I apologize to my follower(s) for being so late with this weeks post. It has become difficult to have our Tuesday nail time at school and I have also been needing to focus on finishing test and totals needed since I have a short time till I graduate (yeah!). I am still focused on practicing nail skills and perfecting techniques I will need working as a nail tech. (I got pedicures down cold!)

Onto some nail art!! Although its getting a little crowded in our club lately, we managed to get some designs done. Prompted by a request from our teacher, I tried my hand at some Water Marbling. Not exactly my specialty but managed to get one good nail done! More on my Water marbling adventure in the next post!


Another technique I tried this week was doing a sponging type technique with bunched up plastic. My goal on this nail was to create a look of a piece of turquoise. I think this will make a neat mani for fall. I used ORLYs Gumdrop as my base and accented with white and an antique gold paint. Then a top coat of Awesome Sauce for some shine! 


Sara had some amazing designs she couldn't wait to get on a nail!! Some really great geometric designs and a funky colored cheetah print. The bright simple flowers on a black base really pop!!! 


Cat wanted to go a little wild and do a tribal design. I love the colors and great detail....but we all kinda agree it looks a little like an Easter Egg!! lol Either way its a great design!! :D



The Water Marbling is a big challenge for me. I have spent today working on different tips others have suggested and tryin to find what works best. Look for my experiment on the next post!

Happy Polishing!!! :D
