Learning: Glitter Acrylics!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends & followers!

I hope you are all having a wonderful day, and watch out for crazy people if you are doing any Black Friday shopping!!

Just thought I would share a pic of what I learned in school yesterday!

 

These are super fun glitter acrylics!

The two on the left are 2 colors faded together, and the others are french with 2 colors faded into the french tip :)

I tried to blur out the creepy fingers to enhance your viewing experience lol.

Enjoy!

Theme: Thanksgiving Water Marble!

I am really awful water marble nail art.

If you are unfamiliar with water marbling, you can read about it here.

Basically, you put drops of polish into water and it spreads on the surface and you swirl the colors together.

I have tried for hours at a time... but for some reason, it never works out very well for me!

I wanted to give it another shot using some Thanksgiving colors.

After 2 attempts tonight, here are the results:

Not too great, but I do like the color combinations.

Colors used: Essie "Sew Psyched", "Orange It's Obvious" & "Very Structured", Avon "Sunshine" and LA Colors "Hot Blooded"

I noticed that the Essie polishes did not really enjoy being put into water, and were very resistant to spreading on the surface.

I think next time I water marble, I will try to avoid Essie.

Theme: Thanksgiving! Gobble Gobble!

Here is a silly turkey I did for Thanksgiving!

The base color is Butter London "Wallis", 

the turkey is hand painted with acrylic paints, 

and stuck on some googly eyes from the craft store :D

Gobble gobble!
