Hello Gurus!
Tried to do water marbling last night and it worked...I just don't like the color combination. It didn't seem quite right to me. Anyway marbling is easy to do its just time consuming.
The first step is to use room temperature water. Some folks will tell you to prep your nails by taping the skin or using petroleum jelly to help with the clean up but I just use nail polish remover the others get in the way for me.
Use a base coat often times white will work the best. In this I used my orange as a base. The choose two or three colors any more and it will be to busy a pattern. Put one drop in the water of your first color and let it spread. Follow with the second and third inside of each other so you get a bullseye effect. Then with a pointed object like a tooth pick or hairpin pull the center color out to create a pattern.
Dip your finger in with the nail facing the part of the pattern you like. The take your pointed object and swirl it on the top of the water to remove the excess. Repeat!
Mine are a little messy because i didn't finish cleaning them up.
Have a magical day!

Hello Gurus!
I have seen these nails popping up all over the web and I could not wait to try them! They do take some patience but they are very simple to do. It's all about geometric shapes and colors. First you need to pick three colors for the design and one base color. I have on Bare Bones by Revlon for my base. I wanted a more earthy look but I've seen them done in neon as well. For my colors I have OPI's Mermaid's Tears, Rimmel's Sunset Orange and NYC's Lexington Yellow. I also use the Sally Hanson nail art pen in black but you could to it with a toothpick as well.
Paint a base coat like you would normally with two
coats. Then in any pattern you decide on paint the
three colors in stripes on the nail. Each nail should look

coats. Then in any pattern you decide on paint the
three colors in stripes on the nail. Each nail should look
different. Make sure the stripes vary in width as well.
Use these patterns on the stripes in varying order using the black polish.Your looking to achieve a controlled chaos look. Diagonal stripes, dots, pyramid shapes, and lines. This is the look I ended up with! Finally let it dry for at least three minutes before you put on the top coat especially if you are using the art pen.

Welcome!
Hello Nail Gurus!
My name is Miss Disney and this is going to be a blog about nails. Nail designs, color palates, how to, and more! Please follow this blog if any of that sounds interesting. Also I would love to have feed back on what you like or designs you would like to see me tutorial for you.
I recently moved to Atlanta and lived with my sister for a while. She taught me the power of you tube and you tube taught me everything else. If you would like to know who I watch to learn what I know I can also post that. Here are some examples of what I've done so far. Also I can do my own acrylic nails as well so that may be added here soon.










Have A Magical Day!
