The Fancy Side

Ahh water marble, my old enemy we meet again. I once had dreams that we could be friends, but you just can't be nice can you. As you can see Day 20 of the challenge is my least liked day, EVER! Why are watermarbles so hard to do? I've watched all the videos, practiced, tried it all....but I just don't think it is for me. Which is why, I went for the accent nail today. It only took me 23 tries (I'm not kidding, I counted) to get the one nail done well, so I think that is more than enough watermarbling for me.

I used OPI French Quarter for Your Thoughts, OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around, and OPI Love.Angle.Music.Baby for this look. Enjoy it while you can. You won't see anything like this until next year from me.

I'm going to make this post short and sweet. Hopefully. I need to finish Christmas shopping today and I'm planning on undertaking the chaos that is NYC Macy's two weekends before Christmas. Pray that I make it out alive.

This look was actually done as an Instagram guest post for @journailism. But on IG you can't get the whole story so I'll show you everything here today too! I started off with a base of F.U.N. Lacquer's Anna. Anna is a baby blue to lavender duochrome with holographic sparkles thrown in. It makes for a beautiful icy looking polish.

I then took striping tape and laid down different designs on each nail. I haven't used striping tape in a while and really wanted to have some fun. Some designs were more complicated than others, but overall they worked well together. I then painted on one thick coat of OPI French Quarter for Your Thoughts on each nail. The gray was the perfect contrast to the neon, creating a fun peek-a-boo look.



I really enjoyed this look. Which design is your favorite? Mine is the middle and ring fingers.

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
