Double Shamrock Accent + Rambling

Ah, happy Monday and St. Patrick's day. I of course don't celebrate because I am the farthest thing from Ireland ethnically speaking. And I bet they don't even celebrate anyway. Why are Americans weird that way? (looking at you too, Cinco de Mayo.) Anyhow... part of this nail/nail art addiction is using any holiday as an excuse for a color scheme. So I present to you a green water marble!

It could be better but I am still very pleased with the result. It was definitely better than last year's attempts. I am getting better at marbling! It becomes so much easier when you figure out the right "spreadable" polishes honestly. For this clover design I used Wet 'n Wild - Stand the Test of Lime and Essie - Going Incognito. The Essie has a really runny formula which helped I think.

The glitter accents are China Glaze Running In Circles, a gorgeous grass green shimmery polish. This is one of those greens that's an exception to my usual dislike towards the color. So pretty!

 I loved the way my thumb and forefinger came out the most because it seemed like a teensy stem was coming out. 

Cinderella hand was lookin pretty decent as well! I was too lazy to try to line up a shamrock on this hand so I accidentally did this instead. Happy accident indeed.

I  hope you enjoyed this look, and wear green today to avoid being pinched! I don't really have any green clothes soo this is my compromise. It was odd not doing my usual pose but as you can see in the third photo I have that random blob of polish. It dripped on there by accident right after I perfected that clover. #nailpolishproblems

One more thing. I made my nails a squoval shape! I won't keep it for long because I feel round suits me better but I really am enjoying this look as well.

Quick Post: Bold Water marble!

So another nail art August challenge was bold. So I decided to (very nervously) try another water marble! I wish you were able to tell that it was more of a pattern instead of wavy stripes but regardless, I am proud of how clean it came out! 

Colors used:

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy (newer more orange formula ): )

Wet n Wild - Teal Slowly and See, Stand the Test of Lime, Who Is Ultra Violet

UGH. Darn you neons for being so hard to capture. This is seriously so bright and in your face. I actually got a couple compliments on em!

Hope you enjoyed this! Btw, the WnW Pop Art Craze polishes are AMAZING to marble with. Look at me sounding professional!

Wet 'n Wild Pop Art Craze!

Boy. This collection sure has stirred up some craziness in the nail world! I don't know anyone who hasn't checked at least three stores for these limited edition pretties. Myself include *cough* checked 7 stores.... BUT I finally found them and I was not disappointed!

I have a few Wet 'n Wild polishes but not many from the Wild Shine (I just have their basic black) and they live up to their shiny name! Wow!

Click le jump to see all the photos! Warning: Some colors made my poor little camera freak out.. I did my best to color correct! Colors aren't terribly off.

Jelly Sang

jelly sangwich.. again. Hey, I told you I've been on a (jelly) roll lately!

I just wanted to make a quick separate post because the last one already had a few to scroll through.

So the "recipe" is down below. I loovve this! Caught On Sapphire is from Wet 'n Wild's Fast Dry line. I love this polish! The glitters are so cool. I'll have to swatch it by itself also but I the moment I saw it I was like "you're going in a sandwich." Yeah.

What a lovely gift from my friend Lina! Thanks girl :)

I really love purple & blue combos. It's just says something special to me! Haha.

Tomorrow Never Dies + Gold Finger

Today I have on Tomorrow Never Dies from the OPI James Bond Collection.

It is a gorgeous blurple (purple and blue) color and if you look closely it has some red and lighter blue shimmer inside also! I regret leaving this in my untrieds for so long. I'm drooling!

Of course I had to pair this OPI themed polish with a .... GOLLLLDD FINGAAA!! I couldn't help myself..   that song has been stuck in my head for ever! I think I am a little too funny sometimes. Ha! Shirley Bassey is amazing. I need to have a James Bond marathon soon. What is your favorite Bond movie?

For the gold accent finger I started with one coat of Milani Gold Glitz, and then two coats of Wet n' Wild The Gold and the Beautiful (that name lol)

The reason I started with Gold Glitz is because the WW polish is a really sheer gold glitter that isn't really buildable. So I put a more dense glitter underneath for a start.

Above is a close up, and you can see more of the red/lighter blue elements in this polish on my middle finger. Another reason to go out and buy it! I couldn't stop staring at this when I was wearing it.

Wet n' Wild Gray's Anatomy

I guess this will be logged as my first post ever. I do not even know where to begin! Haha!

So right here is a swatch of Wet n' Wild's "Gray's Anatomy" an awesome purple/grey/green duochrome (or triochrome, I guess!) with a hint of shimmer in it. It was a little hard to capture the green in photos, but you can see it on the first photo on my index finger and a little in the second on the left halves of my nails!

I really love this colour.. it reminds me of being in space or something. Or an oil slick. Not really similar comparisons haha but all I know is that I am in love with it!

I heard this a good dupe for Deborah Lippmann's "Wicked Game" which I do not own, but from other pictures it seems to be spot on!

I do own a colour by O.P.I which seems to be the same. I have the bottle called "See You Next Summer" but apparently it was renamed and re-released in the Katy Perry collection and called "Not Like The Movies" No wonder I couldn't find swatches! I will have to make a comparison post for those two later on :)

Just gettin the feel of this blog so posts won't be too picture heavy... YET.

I also have a nails Instagram where I post more frequently for the time being. Check it out! @reinovate

Thanks for reading!

Do you prefer the spelling grey or gray? I prefer grey!
