Seven Days of St Patrick's: Rainbow Water Marble Nail Art

St Patrick's Day Rainbow Water Marble Nail Art with Zoya Ivanka

I've just survived a harrowing ordeal. Apparently Comcast decided randomly at 8:26 last night that they were going to stop supporting our modem and we were cut off from the glory of the internets. We were without access for nearly 24 hours. It was a traumatic and distressing time, but I've pushed through to bring you this post for a late for St. Patrick's Day. The new modem is up and running and hopefully we'll have another spectacular ten years of internet access before they decide my equipment is obsolete again.

I've been waiting for St. Patrick's Day to use one of my newest Zoya purchases, Ivanka. I'm wearing three coats on all but my ring finger which got a rainbow water marble. Ivanka is much more magical than these pictures would suggest. It has a foil finish that reflects a lot of light. The polish itself is a green jelly filled with tons of micro glitter. I had full coverage in two coats, but wanted the third for the extra shine. 

I made water marble decals using most of the neons from the China Glaze Electric Nights collection plus Seeing Red from The Giver collection. This method is so much easier for me to create and apply than dipping my nails into the water. I even added bits of the decals on the under side of my nails for an extra fun twist.

I tried this out last year as well and wanted to do an updated version. My rainbow water marble wasn't as bad as I remembered it being, but I think I definitely have a better handle on this technique a year later.
