Last year I got so excited about doing manicures for all the holidays, but I haven't been feeling it at all this year. I only did the Valentine's nails because I needed some stamping to cover up a manicure that didn't turn out the way I wanted, and I posted it late too. I wasn't going to do a St Patrick's manicure either, but then I had the idea of a rainbow water marble. And I dreamed about it on repeat last night. All night long. So of course I had to paint it today when I woke up. I mixed in some green and gold for this St Patrick's skittlette.
The rainbow water marble turned out ok. I had trouble with the blue and yellow mixing together and then mixing with the green to make more green, but at least that kind of works for St Patrick's. Here's what I used to create this water marble:
Water marble in chromatic order-
China Glaze- Seeing Red (Giver Collection)
Spoiled- Jail Bait
LA Colors- Hysteria
Spoiled- Permission to Proceed
Sinful Colors- Endless Blue
Orly- Saturated
The gold nails are Orly's Bling (full review here) and the green is a Sally Girl mini called Pea-Body. Love the color, horrible formula. It was watery and streaky. It took three coats to get decent coverage and was still dentable long after my other nails had dried.
Here's a rare glimpse of the right hand. The marble came out cool so I thought I'd show them all off together. I still need some practice marbling, but it's getting better.
I've got my corned beef and cabbage ready for Tuesday, but it'll be a nice quiet night in other than that. Are you doing anything to celebrate this year?
