FingerFood's Theme Buffet - Something New

Hi all!

This week's theme is Something New... so I finally did some watermarbling... well, I'm not a natural at it... so you'll have to bare with me on this one. Yesterday was also King's Day over here... hence I used our national colour (orange) and the colours in our flag (red, white and blue). We're not that into partying and stuff on King's Day (or until last year... Queen's Day), but we did head into town to have some lovely ales in a proper ale cafe (I had a Paulaner Weissbier, Bacchus Framboos and Jopen Lentebier for those interested).

Polishes I used, left to right:

• L.A. Girl - 3D Effects - Electric Coral
• Miss Helen -125
• Paris Memories - #234
• Catrice - 400 Blue Cara Ciao
• Essence - Quick dry topcoat

First of all, Electric Coral is orange. I am wearing 2 coats here, but you would need 3 to hide the visible nail line. I did my watermarbling with the other polishes (including the clear!). This is the result... I need more practice. The Essence topcoat is not a good topcoat by the way, it gives sheetmarks, even if you've done your nails hours before bedtime.

If I consider this as some sort of abstract mani, it works... but a pretty watermarble it isn't. I think it's very fussy, I won't be doing these often. Although I did prepare one for tuesday as well (similar fail). My polishes didn't want to spread onto the water that well, so getting in more than 4/5 drops was difficult.

Anyways... check out the other girls, with more new somethings!
