I really like water marbled nails, but I don't do them as often as I would like as it takes some time and it's also quite messy. But the other day I decided that it was time to do some water marble nails again and this time I tried to a little different pattern. I think this turned out to be a quite nice mani, or what do you think?
So I used only China Glaze polishes for this marble. I started with White Out as my base for the water marble and used Custom Kicks, Re-Fresh Mint and again White Out for the actual water marbling. Then I also added a coat of Fairy Dust to make it sparkle. I really loved these colors together, they looked really clean and bright.

I'm sure you all have seen all the amaxing manis that Erika does with scotch tape, so of course I had to give it a try too.
I used China Glaze Custom Kicks as base color and also China Glaze Atlantis on ring finger to make the mani even more interesting. Then I taped it with scotch tape and used Essence I Love Berlin LE Berlin Story. I thought this was really fun manicure, though it isn't perfect. I think I need to try some other tape manis too, it's so much fun and quite easy to do.
Here's Custom Kicks by herself:
This is just one coat, because I knew I was going continue the mani from this. If you're gonna wear it alone, it needs probably two coats. And this pic isn't really color accurate, it's more teal IRL than blue. I'm not so into blues/teals and though this is really pretty with that golden shimmer, I probably wouldn't wear it alone as it didn't feel like me, but as part of tape mani this was really good. And I don't many blues/teal in my collection anyways, so I think I need to keep this, even though it isn't exactly my color.
