15 Week Challenge.......Part Two, Week Five

DRAG MARBLE!!!

I have only tried this one other time, and it looked okay, but this is much better!

I used Sinful Colors Black on Black and Orly's Mineral FX collections Rock-it. I did the black first-which is a great one coater, and smooth....and then while still wet I dropped six or so dots of Rock-it - awesome as well- on my nail and drug a small dotting tool through them in a zigzag line.

(please bear with the photo's I'm still playing around with settings to find the best one and the best lighting, and all that goodness)

This last one is blurry, but you can see the swirlyness in them! My normal hand I photograph was all whacked up....It was 'bubbly' and ridged.....like I dug to deep with the dragging....so in other words, be careful when dragging your tool...

What do you think of this?

Butterfly Sparkles

I was looking through pictures online looking for inspiration, and found the monarch butterfly nails. They are very pretty! There was one on the MAU board with a very pretty blue color. I didn't want to do all of my nails, as I thought it might be a bit overpowering. I also liked Collette's french tip swirl drag mani, she has up on her blog, so I combined them. I used China Glaze Fairy Dust for a base, and swirl the tips with Sally Hansen's White On and Black Out. It isn't exactly like hers, I think hers are prettier swirls...this was my first time. Then on each of my ring fingers I did a base of Sinful Colors Hazard, then used the SH Black Out and White On to create the wing. I think I did a pretty good job!
Although my pictures aren't the best Maybe I will try to take some better ones later today while I am at the beach, we're heading there this afternoon to have some fun splashing around and to watch the sunset, hopefully the weather cooperates! We are having a very laid back weekend, How about you guys?
