St. Patrick's Day Nail Art

Today on the blog, I've got some fun water marble blingy nails! I even added a bit of 3D acrylic work! Since everyone's doing shamrock and clover water marbling and hand painting, I thought some rainbow water marbled backgrounds would be fun and different. More info after the jump!! 

The colors I used for the water marble are OPI Koala Bear-y, Hot & Spicy, Need Sunglasses, Green-wich Village, No Rules For The Blues and Plugged-In Plum. Aren't they so pretty together?

So then I went over with Sephora by OPI's gold flavor polish in a bit of a swirl, then went in with pretty much every bit of gold bling and studs I have to include some additional gold leafing. 

To keep it with the St. Patrick's Day theme, I made a little cast iron looking pot out of INM black acrylic and placed it on my ring finger to make it look like the gold was swirling around out of the pot!

Hope you guys like! Be safe on St. Patrick's Day! I'll be working :( But at least my nails will look great!! Come find me:

March Nail Art Challenge - Intro and Day 1 Rainbow Brite Dotticure

So for today's nail art, I've taken inspiration from @Californails' March nail Art Challenge Day 1 which is "Dotticure". Here's her challenge:

Now, I didn't just want to do a polka dot mani cause quite frankly, it's been done. And done and done and done. So I figure it would be a cute way to integrate some actual nail art rather than just my dotting tools. To do this, I incorporated rainbow dots with Rainbow Brite!! Here's my design:

I used the Color Club Brites Collection and acrylic paint for all of the art. I did a line of dots in rainbow colors and to keep it from being super polka dotty, I framed the dots in black. Just one more picture with a little better design breakdown:

Alright, so now I'm going to go work on my painting skills since my Rainbow Brite looks stoned... Stay tuned for the next challenge post, "Gradient" which should be up tomorrow! And come find me:
