Marble This!!!!!

Water Marble Away!!!!! This was one of those mani's I had to figure out how the hell it work for everybody else and not for me... but I got it, finally! I have looked in awe at other peoples water marbling skills for to long, it was time to take the bull by the horns!!! I did go online and did a little research before I started, watched a few you tube videos... guess what it helped:) 
I am in this fall mood, I think its cause all the clothes at work have changed from summer to fall colors, but anyway I used the Zoya smoke and mirrors collection for this water marbling. I started off with Jana as a base color and then picked out three others... Dree, Jem and Cynthia.
Here is a picture of all of them:)

Water Marbling colors:)

So like I said before I had to do some research and found out you need to use some tape ... I said to myself tape, really??? But trust me, yes you need tape.  You put the tape around your cuticles, to keep down on the mess. Here is a picture of my nail taped up (btw I have already done almost all my nails in this picture so there is a little mess). 

taped up

So I'm going to start off with showing you the candle votive I used ( instead of a cup) with the bulls eye of the polish.

this is one drop of each color in the center
like a bulls eye

And here is more color added.

this is color added three times each

As you can plainly see Bulls Eye!!! Now on a few of mine they were a little off, miss shaped but its still cool cause next you are going to stir the colors up. 

ready for dipping

I stirred up the colors with a tooth pick. I never went to far out and always  wiped off the tooth pick with a paper napkin after each run through. Okay so you have your nail taped and the colors the way you want its time to put your nail right where you want it, turn the cup if need be. Nail facing to cup go right on top of the color and press down, have a extra stick to round up the extra polish before you remove your nail, so the polish doesn't mess up you design. And here are a few pictures of the finished water marbling look:)

I always like a little sparkle on top of just about all my polish, so I also added Fairy Dust by China Glaze. Here is a picture of the *sparkle*

I hope you polish friends love this as much as I do ♥ I know I'm going to have to do this about a million times more with all kinds of colors and maybe challenge myself with doing designs in the water... or maybe I'll just stick to this for a while:) If you have tried water marbling how did it work for you? If you haven't are you maybe thinking about it now???

Until next time, Happy Polishing everybody!

Love,

Part 2 Zoya Smoke and Mirrors

Here we go everybody Mirrors the second part of the new Zoya fall collection.  I have to say from the bottom of my little heart that this collection is the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow"!!!! This half of the collection is what I'm going to be wearing all season long:) I love all the colors (even the green one, lol). I think that Zoya has made Fall SEXY with these colors!!!
Okay so looking in the box at all six you have Nimue, Marina, Tao, Yara, Neeka, and Jem. They all have a shimmer to them Yara, Neeka and Jem have glitter also. These six remind me of driving in the mountains looking at all the fall colors on the trees... beautiful! Here is a picture of the entire collection.

Starting right off with Nimue. This is a dark lavender with a shimmer. Kinda reminds me of grapes right before they come off the vine.

Marina is a slate blue shimmer. This one is going to be used quite often with me I love, love , love it. Think rain cloud with a silver lining:)

Tao is a shimmery steal color, kinda tough but pretty. All I can think of is the sour patch candy commercial first they are bad then they are sweet:)

Alright now we have Yara, a green sparkly color. Many of you know I'm not a green person but will try anything, I have to say I kinda like this one. Reminds me of a tough chic with army fatigues and some 6" heels on ... don't mess with this bitch!!!

Neeka is a purple glitter polish. I was thinking grape soda with gold fizz:)

Last but not least we have Jem. This polish is burgundy with glitter, kinda looks like a dual chrome to me (sorry you can't see that in the picture). Jem reminds me of a very sexy lip stick that you can't wait to put on for your man!!! 

And there you have it everybody the Zoya Mirrors collection. Zoya has really struck gold with this fall collection! I'm going to be using all of these when it gets cold enough here (which might not be for a while) or maybe before. So everybody I hope you got your Zoya promotion ready cause if I was you I would be getting some of these polishes super fast!!
Let me know what you think of the new collection and which one is your favorite!!!


Happy polishing everyone!
Love,
Anne
