Drag Marble Nail Art

Allo polish Pals!

How are you today? I hope you had an awesome weekend. Did anything exciting happen?

I have not told you yet but I am going to England again this Friday! I am super excited..but I'll tell you more about that in more depth a little later on.

Anyway... for today I have some more nail art that was created for the weekly Tiny Canvas challenge (Why do I always take part? The themes are fun and push me to try new challenges plus I feel as a moderator its good to join in to encourage other members) Our theme at the moment is drag marble nail art.

Sadly I can't tell you what nail polishes I used in this design as.. stuff is everywhere.

I can tell you about this design though even without knowing what polishes I used! I decided to go for a elemental themed manicure, creating a drag marble decal for each nail – we have wind/air, earth, fire and water.

On my thumb I used one coat of Barry M's 'White' polish to create a clean canvas for my acrylic-gradient. I did this using a thick brush and black, grey and white acrylic paints. I'm hoping I can make a video soon to show you how I do these. I added some small symbols to represent the elements. I finished everything else off with my Pro-FX top coat.

Have you done a dry marble before? Which marble nail do you like the best?

Have a wonderful day my sweeties, I'll catch you again on Wednesday for another freehand design! 

Love,

Ithi

Allo polish Pals!

How are you all doing? I hope you are having a great week so far :)

Today I have another product from BeautyBigBang.com to share with you, these are LaserStripes Holographic Round Thin Sequins Nail Decorations. Basically.. really small cute studs with a line of holo running through them.

For this review I have two looks to show you! Why? Because I was highly dissatisfied with both of them.. sigh.

Colourful Freehand Jazz Nails

Allo polish Pals!

How are you all doing today? I hope this week has been going well for you so far.

I've been feeling super, I've so much more energy since I started working out and taking better care of myself. I feel so much more positive, its great what a good pattern can do for you! I'm literally just enjoying everything, I look forward to going to *early* bed so I can get up and have tomorrow!

Today's nails are again prompted by the weekly challenge over at Tiny Canvas. This time our theme was Jazz. In case you didn't know (and it is pretty random, so I forgive you if not!) April 30^th is international jazz day.

At this point my mind did an absolute blank and I had no idea what to paint; And then.. I turned to myself and said... “Ithi, If Jazz was a colour, what colour would it be?”

The answer my friends.. Is.. ALL OF THEM!

While I did this nail art I had access to more space which meant I could leave my light studio intact as I painted. As a result you can see this in different stages of its creation! Wahoo.

Here's some of the pictures taken during this paint session.  Click on them to englarge!

 I decided to go for a really bright and bold background using my 'felt tip pen' brush to add different shades of acrylic paints on top of each other. I really liked how this looked, even on its own! 

I decided to add some pieces of gold leaf/foil to represent the colours of the instruments. I didn't want to go painting them indivudally but I felt like I needed something to represent them still.

Wanna see what did I use to create this nail art? 

This is what I call my typical line up for anything containing rainbows! I can't help it, guys. Its an addiction. Rainbows, rainbows, more rainbows!!

What do you think of my colourful jazz nail art? Have you created music nails before, if so was it for a select genre? - Also let me know if you want me to do more posts like this.

Thank you all for visiting, I hope you have a wonderful day! :) Don't forget to let me know what you think of this nail art. I'll catch you again on Saturday!

Love

Ithi
