Pink and Green marble

 Yup, I'm still on the needle marble kick! I love how this turned out!




I've been using Zoya Snowsicle a lot lately. It's the perfect sparkly sheer ivory color! You can only catch glipses of it in this marbling, but i love it!

Some Nail Art stuff I've been trying out...

 Needle Marble Mani

I'm still mastering this one, but I like it. It's not easy though!


 Part of my problem is, I can't stick to one look. I want to throw every color I own on at once!

I saw this tutorial on Youtube and wanted to try it. Mine did not come out as nice, but came out better than I thought it would. Definitely going to try it again!


I love the ombre/gradient look. I did this with a cut up makeup sponge and then added a layer of sheery pearly white over it. I didn't come out as seamless as I wanted, but I used like 4 different colors. Next time I think I'll just use two and sponge it on thicker...?

Minty Fresh Comps



China Glaze "For Audrey" vs. Zoya "Wednesday" vs. Wet-n-Wild "I Need a Refresh-Mint"

Pointer Finger: For Audrey
Middle Finger: Wednesday
Ring Finger: I Need A Refresh-Mint
Pinky: For Audrey
 The picture makes For Audrey and Refreshmint, look closer than they actually are in real life. Wednesday is a a bit dusky blue/green.
For Audrey leans more blue while the Wet-n-Wild leans more minty green. Wednesday isn't a dupe for either of them.

Verdict: I need all three.
If I had to get rid of one: Wet-n-Wild, because the brush is horrific!

While I was comping these, it occurred to me that the Zoya might be a dupe for Misa's "Dirty Sexy Money" so I went and dug out my bottle of it which I haven't seen in probably two years. It needed some shaking, that's for sure.



Pointer and Ring: "Dirty, Sexy, Money"
Middle and Pinky: Zoya "Wednesday"
 Definitely not dupes either. The Misa is quite a bit darker.
Verdict: Love them both.
If I had to get rid of one: Misa, the formula is sucky and it takes forever to dry.

My version of the "Indian Summer" nail.

 I saw this idea on Sephora's site, but it used the $30 $OPI gold flaky polish. This glitter was close enough for me.
 For some reason Zoya Caprice came out a little more orange than it looks in the bottle. I'm not sure if I needed to shake it up better, or if that's just how it is.

Either way, I'm happy with how this turned out!

I gave in!

I've been resisting the whole crackle nail phase. The polishes are expensive and I wasn't sure I liked it. Then I saw some one wearing a pink and white combination that I really liked. So, I thought I would try it. Of course, then I couldn't find a single bottle of white crackle polish ANYWHERE!


Finally 5Below came to the rescue and i found this there! It's pricier than the regular Funky Fingers and it didn't crackle quite how I thought it would, but I liked this more than I expected!


The bottom is Zoya's Sweet
