Stone Marble

Ya-hoo! I am super happy with this manicure - in fact i love it!!! I think i am finally catch in up on the water marble technique. The trick is that you need to marble polishes in the water really randomly, and even if it looks like a mess, it will be more detailed on the nails . At first i was trying to make some patterns like they show in videos and it nether worked.
Another important thing is that even if polish does not look opaque in the water, it will still work just fine on teh nails polished witht eh base color.
I finish this manicure with ,matte top coat, to make it look like stone, and i love this mani!!!!
I feel much more confident aout water marbles now, and i play with it more.

Cristal Rose

Hello Dear Nail-art Lovers.
Today i am presenting you another attempt of the hand painted nail-art - "Cristal Rose"
I really like how this one turned out, i did it on both hands and even wore few days last week.
I recently realized that most problems i have are because of the cheap paint. So now i dream to get some expensive professional paints. I read a lot good about "Polycolor" paints, but it is too pricy - 70 bucks for 12 small paints.
So i wonder may be anybody know any other good brand of professional paint in US, that is not that expensive?
So far i used paints i got from Hobby Lobby - mostly cheramcoat and folk-art, but the problem is that those paints are not opaque, at list when i paint on nails, however on paper or wood it is just fine), so i guess i need more opaque paints.
Please comment if you have any suggestion of recommendation regarding paint , and of cause i hope you ll like the manicure.
