Forth of July nail art water marble

Well then, happy forth of July! I've done a red, blue and white water marble and I'm actually quite happy with the outcome. I think that my water marbling skills has improved since I started and that's fun. :)

I first made a base with a white creme and then I individually dipped one finger in my bowl. I've used regular tap water and dripped in each color and then made a pattern with a needle. I choose to use shimmer/metallic polishes to make it more interesting :)

Polishes used:
OPI - The Spy Who Loved Me
China Glaze - Blue Paradise
Kleancolor - Metallic White
HM - In It For The Game

4th of July nail art design number 2 of the day!

Since I wasn't happy with the one I made yesterday I made a new one today. Well, didn't end up being content with this one either. I had the same idea as yesterday but made it with nail polish and rhinestones.

The red and blue are Kleancolor. Metallic sapphire and Metallic red. The white is Sure Promise. I really liked the stripes, but didn't end up keeping it.

4th of july nail art design

Since it is 4th of july (still), I thought it would be appropriate with a nail design to go with it. I looked at a lot of inspiration and came up with an idea. Realized that I couldn't really do it since I didn't have all the colors for it at the place that I'm living in right now (they are still at my old apartment). Yesterday I therefor started playing with acrylic paint and a really thin brush.

And here it is. I really liked the idea, but I thought that the execution was a bit messy. I wished for a nice nail art design for the stars and stripes but felt that it didn't live up to my expectations. I didn't clean up my cuticles or putted on top coat. I ended up just washing my hands in hot water, but took this picture before.
