Marble Nails (Saran Wrap Method)



My newest nailcapade are the marble nails. I tried the saran wrap method because I figured it would fairly easy... and it was! I loooove how they came out! I ransacked my nieces nail polish and decided on a pretty powder pink and a shimmery yellow. I saw on youtube a video on how to do it, so I wasn't that worried about the technique.... just the colors. I hate yellow. The only problem I had was cutting the stupid plastic wrap.

Dotted Nails

Last week I decided to do dotted nails. I've always wanted to try them, but could never get my hands on a dotting tool. Then one day, I saw a post that someone used a toothpick for her dots. I then decided to do some digging on the internet to find out other ideas for dotting tools. I found out that you can use all kinds of things! Oh I was sooo excited!

I decided on a bobby pin because I figured that was a medium size for a dot. I put on my base coat and applied the white. And then I got a piece of paper and poured tiny amounts of the polish on it, so it would be easier access.... and it totally was! I also used one pin for each color, but I surmised that two would do because it has two ends.... DUH! haha... Live and learn, live and learn. 
I liked them, but the white wasn't very good quality so I had them on for two days... moooob ): Buuut I will definitely be doing some dotting again! (:
P.S. Sorry, I didn't get a chance to clean them up before they got messed up...laame
