Meh...

I've finally got around to putting my photos on my computer to upload. So I have 4 designs that I haven't uploaded yet. In this post, I will show the 2 that I like least and he next one will be of the ones that I love.

This is the first one:


I had it set in my head that I wanted to use A-England's Dorian Grey. Along with feeling a little uninspired, I also didn't want to cover up the colour. So I did a simple Waterfall design.
There's a bit of tip wear because I almost didn't take photos. But it's a week's worth of tip wear! I did my nails on Sunday night and took it off on Friday night. Way to go A-England! You can see my thumb nail is worse than the rest, but that's pretty damn good wear time even after work.

Colours Used:
Gunmetal - A-England: Dorian Grey

Blue - OPI: Swimsuit Nailed it!
Silver - Orly: Dazzle

This next one didn't turn out as awesome as I thought it would. If you've seen any of the Picture Polish Special Edition polishes that look like galaxies, you'll know they look amazing over black. So what I attempted was to watermarble with one of them and a clear polish onto a black base. 




You can see the shift in colour at different angles here in full sunlight with a nice background of the cement outside my work. The watermarbling worked well, but I think the problem was that with watermarbling, you can't do 2 coats of the colour, so the colour wasn't as amazing as it could have been with 2 coats.

Colours Used:
Black - A-England: Camelot
Shifty - Picture Polish: Illusionist
Clear - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Top Coat (because I'm trying to use it all up)
