OPI Infinite Shine Floral Watermarble Nails

Hello everyone!

As you can probably tell, I have joined the nub club.... Yup, I've had three nail breaks in the past two days. Ugh.

But I am continuing with my series of watermarbling attempts; this time with a flower petal marble using "Running With the In-finite Crowd", "Pretty Pink Perseveres", and "Get Ryd-of-thym Blues" from the new OPI Infinite Shine line. 

*I received 10 polishes from the OPI Infinite Shine line (as well as the base and top coat) from Preen.Me through their #PreenMeVIP program, however, this does not affect my comments or opinions on the polishes*

Daisy and Watermarble Nails

Hello everyone!

You might remember from my last blog post that I tried to do a watermarble design, and failed. But I haven't given up yet! I recently received this 3D daisy stud from Born Pretty Store and the first nail idea that came to my mind was a green watermarble under it to resemble the pattern of a leaf.

I was really determined to do this look, so even though the idea of watermarbling was sickening, I tried my hand at the technique... And I finally had some success!!!

Halloween Watermarble Nails

Okay, I'll admit it. I consider these to be a bit of a nail fail. Especially the index finger.... *sigh* I hate when I have an awesome idea that I've envisioned in my head and then when I try it for real it is a mess. 

But anyway, I did this design as a fun alternative to all the drip nails, zombie nails, and cute Halloween characters that I've been seeing a lot. I really wanted to do those manis because I love them, but I also wanted to try something a little different. I decided to do a white to orange gradient with a black and clear watermarble over it.

My Tips for Watermarbling

Watermarbling has always been one of the most dreaded nail art techniques of all time for me. I have struggled with it for FOREVER, so recently I just sat down and decided to try every combination and option possible for watermarbling. This was the result:

Colors used:
Salon Perfect "Wild Blue Yonder"
Zoya "Blu"
Sally Hansen "White On"
