Today I have a water marble manicure for you that I did with two OPI Germany collection polishes and on American Apparel polish.
I used OPI My Very First Knockwurst as a base and then did the water marling using also My Very First Knockwurst, OPI Berlin There Done That and American Apparel Dynasty. After the marbling was dry I topped it off with GOSH Vanilla Ice. I really liked this color combination, it was quite appropriate for fall. Also water marbling does become easier every time I try it, so I guess I just have to keep trying, because I really like the look you can get with it and there are so many possible color combinations and patterns that you can try!

If that title isn't summery I don't know what is, lol. Anyways, I have today some layering to show you (again). Just a while ago I showed you GOSH Vanilla Ice and I said then that I think it would probably look good over some other polish, so of course I had to try it out.
So this is one coat of Vanilla Ice over Borghese Raspberry Sorbetto. And I have to say, that Vanilla Ice really look good over Raspberry Sorbetto, it creates this like somekind of frosting look or like the polish was sugar coated. I really like the look and I think I have to try Vanilla Ice over some darker polish, or maybe even black.
Here's some pics of Raspberry Sorbetto by it self (two coats):
This is by the way my first ever Borghese polish. They are not available here in Finland, but I managed to get two Borgheses from Joy's blog sale, which was nice, because I'm always eager to try out new brands. And at least this one was really nice, it took just two coats to get it opaque and the color is great, so I have nothing to complain. For some reason though it did bubble a bit after top coat, even though it wasn't thick or anything like that. Maybe I'll have to try it again with different top coat to see, if the reason was that, or something..
Today I have a GOSH polish for you that I found from clearance bin some time ago.
So this is called Vanilla Ice and it's really sheer one, I have four coats here and there's still VNL. Well, I knew when I bought this that it would probably be quite sheer as it looks so in the bottle too. But it also looked really in the bottle and I think it does look nice on nail too and with light colors like this, I don't mind the VNL. And yes, it looks a bit yellow when you look at the tips of my nails just because I have some staining on my nails.. Anyhow, I think this would be nice layering polish too, so I need to try it over some other color at some point.
