Week 39 of the Year of Polish Challenge: Holoween Dry Marble

So Dry Marbling...good in theory but not so good in application!   While the Dry Marble method saves you on cleanup you need a lot of time and patience to let the marbles dry.  Essentially, you paint on a clear coat on a plastic baggie.  Then you paint on your base color.  In my case, I used Wet N Wild Black Creme.  I let that layer dry and then painted on another very generous layer of Black Creme.  Before it dried I dropped dots of Layla Ultraviolet and Sinful Colors Clementine and swirled all of the colors together.   After letting the decals dry, I pulled them (GENTLY) off the plastic.  I painted my nails with a clear coat and the applied the decals to each nail.  I cut down the edges to fit my nails and cleaned up any straggly edges with acetone.   I don't think I would do dry marbling very often but I like the practice of making decals on plastic.   I will do decals again soon!

Halloween French Tips

Despite having short nails, I still love french tips so I broke out several stamping plates for some Halloween nails

Polished Used:

Wet N Wild Black

Konad White Stamping Polish

Sinful Color's Sugar Sugar

Insta-Dri's Whirlwind White

After putting on a clear basecoat, I used Konad's French tip M19 plate to stamp on french tips using Wet N' Wild's Black.  Then using Bundle Monster plate BM 13, I stamped on the spider web image on each nail but in different places, even over the french tip on some nails.   Last, using the spider image on Konad image plate M28, I stamped spiders on each thumb nail and filled in the design with black.  I then put a dot of white polish on the back of the spider and let it dry.  I covered the white dot with red polish to make the spider look black widow-ish.  Last, I applied a clear topcoat.  Fun, easy nails for Halloween.
