Coffee Candy water marble

When I first did water marble nail art, I've spent about 4 freakin' hours to actually learn how it is done. It was frustrating, really. But the outcome it gives really soothe the frustration. You can read how I survived the process HERE.

And so I have tried several times

Eureka!
Retro Pink
Neon colors


I tried this nail art again yesterday since I ran out of ideas on what to do for my weekend nail. This time, I spent hours doing it too but not because I was not able to get the process right. It was just because I couldn't find the perfect combo that I wanted. Even more so when some expensive brand I use i.e. OPI, Sally Hansen and Revlon did not cooperate well. In the end, I got back to this cheaper brand, Eleanor and she's really a savior. I just need to buy more of these in different colors. Cheaper and it saves me from wasting much of my expensive nail polishes. Ha!

And here's something new on this blog.

A video tutorial!

I finally got my hands around doing this video tutorial after been asking lot from some friends especially Cathj. And thanks to the hubby who helped to record this video. With no good video camera, I am only using my iPhone video capture and this where the hubby comes handy. Ha!



I know this video editing is very noobie, but hey I am a first timer at this. Will try to improve from time to time.

Enjoy!

      Oh, this after so many practices ni Jacq. And a lot of polishes used. If you get the right polishes, you'll definitely get the whole process correct and easy as it looks on my video or any other water marble nail art video on youtube :)

      Glad you like it cath!...you know, the trick to get nail paint dry quickly is to have a quick dry top coat. Really, saves you the time to wait and of cos avoiding your mani dari kena rosak.
      I recommend Seche Vite or Sally Hansen quick dry top coat pasal itu dua ja sa pernah try and they work wonder to my nail painting time.
