Hi cupcakes!
So it's been a long while since I've joined a challenge... the last one I think was around Christmastime last year. The reason I never join challenges is because I don't always have a lot of time on my hands and I would hate to start a challenge and not finish it! BUT, I've finally joined a new one called the Mish Mash Challenge hosted by Kimber's Lacquer Korner. I joined because it only posts once a week and I figure I can keep up with that... hopefully ;)
Anyways! Today is the kick off of the Mish Mash Challenge and the theme is purple. I knew immediately I wanted to incorporate Color Club Eternal Beauty, a purple holographic polish, because it's been one of my favorite polishes ever since I bought it! I also figured it was time to give water marbling another go, I heard somewhere around the polish community that the Color Club Halo Hues are really good for water marbling so hey, why not right?
Alright, to start off this mani I did a base of Maybelline Color Show Iced Queen on my thumb, middle, and ring finger. Then I used Maybelline Color Show Iced Queen and Color Club Eternal Beauty for the water marble on those fingers. On my pointer and pinky I just did two coats of Color Club Eternal Beauty. Seal it all in with some Poshe top coat and we're finished!

| yumm holo love! |
These were super cool out in the sunshine I still get so amazed every time I see the Halo Hues outside in the sun because they are really quite stunning! Because both polishes were so good for marbling I ended up with really skinny lines I think it almost looks like a zebra print of sorts! And I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth water marbling went this time so expect to see some more in the future ;)
Question for you guys: I've been thinking about starting some video tutorials.... not that I know how lol! But would anyone be interested in seeing a tutorial for a water marble like this?

ReplyDeleteVery fun results!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Kristine!!!! So happy you joined the challenge!
ReplyDeleteYou did Eternal Beauty proud. This is outside-the-box, and outstanding.
While you're reminded of zebra lines, I'm seeing leaves, shoots, bamboo...kind of an Asian vibe. Very cool how it's open to interpretation. I say this is one fabulous water marble!
As for tutorials, I vote YES!!!! Yes, please!!!! :)
Happy weekend, Kristine!
This is gorgeous!!!!!!!!! I love the marble pattern!
