Neon Rainbow Water Marble Nail Art

I bought the A Night in Vegas neons from Pipe Dream Polish in October of last year and finally had an opportunity to use them to do a water marble. I chose a rainbow design and learned how to do it from a video by Yagala on Youtube. She gave some really great tips and her technique is great!

I have worn these since Friday and don't plan to remove them until I absolutely have to. I'm in love!

This is the second water marble I have ever done and I have to say I'm proud of it! Will you try water marbling?

b.i.t.c.h. by jaclyn: May Flowers collection


b.i.t.c.h. by jaclyn is back with a May Flowers collection for you! This set of six floral shades are the perfect summer treat for your nails.
I wore two coats of each polish with a topcoat, the formula was good on these, no issues to report.

Fertilize Her is a juicy bright peachy shade with subtle holo, great for summertime!

Garden Hoe is the sassy hot raspberry fuchsia magenta pink we've all come to expect and love from jaclyn's line, only this one is metallic and holo! It's my favorite from this set. I also tested stamping with it because it seemed pretty opaque. Stamped over white, it's a pretty rosy shade but over black the color was not apparent.

b.i.t.c.h. by jaclyn: De-Flowered with stamping nail art

I've been enjoying stamping with my new stamper from Chelle Lee and well, this polish was begging to be stamped!

I used one coat of De-Flowered for the base color and stamped it with Konad black, VL plate 35, and my new stamper head from Chelle. This stamper is the closest one I've found to the original Marshmallow head that I got from Ninja Polish many many years ago. I've bought and tried at least 30 different ones searching for a replacement, and I think I've found it in Chelle's stamper head. It is made from a slightly different material and feels more durable but it is just as squishy and sticky as the original. If you're interested in this stamper, you can fill the form here to order.

The pixelated skull and crossbones is super cute, yet edgy and goes perfectly with this polish, don't ya think?
