Hey everyone! I took the plunge and agreed to do the Lazy Days of Summer (LDoS) nail challenge! I have never done a nail challenge before, nor do I think I'm that skilled at nail art, so this shall be interesting! There are 14 different challenges, some that I'm sure will test my creativity and patience.
The first challenge is "Beach Theme" and I knew what I wanted to do right away, a WATER marble. I thought it was quite smart of me to think of a water marble! I haven't done a water marble in quite some time but I'm pretty pleased with the results. Besides the bubbles...one polish I used refused not to bubble. More on that in a minute. If your unfamiliar with how to water marble, you will find a ton of information on our friend, Google. I used four polishes for this water marble: The "sand" was Essie- Topless & Barefoot, the "water" was Zoya- Bevin and Wednesday and the "froth" was Maybelline- Porcelain Party. Oh Porcelain Party, why must you bubble so much? Yes, Porcelain Party was the bubbling culprit! I noticed right away that it would bubble because once I dropped it in the water holes appeared. I have never used Maybelline polishes before and now I'm hesitant to use it again. Time for pictures!
Two coats of Zoya- Bevin
Zoya- Wednesday
Essie- Topless & Barefoot
Maybelline- Porcelain Party
One coat of Poshe
What I attempted to create was more "sand" on the bottom two fingers and more "water" on the top two to simulate crashing waves. I think I was successful, no? Ugh, the bubbles! Now for the other wonderful ladies participating in the LDoS challenge with me!
Excited to see what challenge is up next?
