I hope you all are having a better week than I am. It's been terrible, and I just hate my job more and more everyday. I really want it to work out, but I'm just not sure this is the job for me. IDK but anyway, I won't burden you all with all that shit. (:
Today, Ashley and I are using water as our theme for the water marble. Clever, huh? Chock that up to Ashley. (: I can't believe I never thought of it sooner. So obviously I chose blue, but I added some teal in there to make it look a little tropical and summery. It didn't work (lol) but it still looks like water to me.
I used a half swirl pattern to create the effect of waves and I marbled over white. Ya know when the waves crash and the water gets that white foam of bubbles? That's why I used white. I think my pointer finger came out the best.
WHAT I USED:
white base coat
Orly Snowcone - baby blue
Jesse's Girl Julie G Mermaid's Lagoon - turquoise w/ gold shimmer
See Sarah Swatch Franken Angel's Stream - teal w/ flakies and glitter
I hope you all enjoy this and that it makes you want to go to the beach. I know I do, but the beach here is nasty. At least I didn't do one inspired by Galveston water...ew. :\ This many would be shit brown. lol.
D
lovely mani Danielle... yes it does remind of the beach and esp the lazy day *.*
ReplyDeletei love a lazy day. (:
DeleteI love your color choices. I just did a post on my water marble mani. It was my best one to date! and I chose to use a teal with mine too. Check it out if you'd like. Maybe you could give me some pointers?

ps I didn't want to post the link without your permission so just follow my name to my blog if ya want.
they look awesome. i don't think you need any pointers, but if you do have ??, you should ask ashley instead. she's one of the best marblers i've seen. btw i don't mind posts unless they are spam. no spam! (:
DeleteThe pointer does look like a curling wave!! I think that I had the same idea of the white for that foamy look. Hehe. Also, I fixed my post to have your link in it. I even used my inlinkz to add your thumbnail, yay!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm so sorry you are not liking your new job! :(
