Helloo to all you wonderful readers of Becca's blog! My name is Abigail and you may know me from my own blog Polished Dreams or Instagram. I am very honoured to be doing a guest post for Becca whilst she's living it up on holiday and going to Polish Con! No jealousy at all here, nope, none whatsoever... Anyway, I guess I'd better get on to the nails!
It took me a little while to figure out what to do for this post because I wanted it to be reallyy good but I got there eventually! As you can see, I settled on doing a watermarble as I'm really into it at the moment which is both stressful (when it goes wrong) and amazing (when it goes right). Fortunately this one was definitely a time when it went right!
For my watermarble I used the Experience the Islands Collection from Glisten & Glow. I bought this collection recently from Rainbow Connection and I am absolutely in love! They watermarble beautifully which obviously makes my life so much easier as a watermarbling novice. I've also recently starting using the Whats Up Nails Watermarble tool which I got from Nail Art Uk and that has seriously helped improve my watermarbles dramatically so I definitely recommend it. To finish off the mani I used my favourite topcoat which just so happens also to be by Glisten & Glow and is of course HK Girl. This post isn't sponsored by G&G I swear!
Now usually when I do watermarbles, I'm so happy that I've managed it I'd never dream of covering it up with anything else. This time however, I thought I'd be a bit more exciting. I used Hit the Bottle As Black as Night (which I also got from Rainbow Connection) and UberChic Beauty 1-02 to stamp this very popular rose image over the top.
I think really I prefer the watermarble on it's own but hey, I tried something new and that's what counts right? I am seriously in love with this mani though. I even got a "Oh wowee, that's super cool" from my boyfriend which as I'm sure you can imagine is a pretty impressive comment to have about nails from him haha!
Well, all that is left to say is a very big thank you to Becca for having me on her blog! I hope you have a fab holiday and enjoy your time away and of course Polish Con!

Ahh, I'm so jealous of this! The only time I tried to watermarble all of the polish sunk to the bottom. I've also been eyeing up this collection - maybe I'll have to grab it and give watermarbling another go! Thank you to the amazing Abigail for this post, remember to check her out at the links above!

The only advice I could give for it is I recommend avoiding any quick drying Polish and make sure all of the colours are the same brand of Polish. I learned this via trial and error...
ReplyDeleteI will try to do it myself eventually! x
