NOTD: Funky Flip Flops (Picture Heavy)

Hello again everybody! Today's manicure was inspired by the fact that I just got the 2012 set of stamping plates from Bundle Monster and wanted to try one out (I chose the flip flops pattern) and by the fact that I wanted to try out this new dry "water marbling" technique I've being hearing/seeing so much of recently. So, without further ado, today's post. enjoy :)



Ok, so for my pointer, middle, and pinky fingers, I started out with two coats of Sally Hansen Ivy League. Then I sponged on Revlon Ocean from the middle to the tip, then Zoya Tallulah at the tips. Then I stamped on the flip flops pattern from stamping plate BM309 with OPI Alpine Snow.


Now for my accent nails (ring fingers and thumbs). I started with one coat of OPI Alpine Snow as a base and let that dry completely. Then I started the dry "water marbling" technique. I put another--relatively thick--coat of OPI Alpine Snow, then while that was still wet I painted diagonal stripes of Sally Hansen Ivy League, Revlon Ocean, and Zoya Tallulah. Then I dragged a toothpick through the wet polish, and voila! I think it turned out pretty cool for my first attempt :) Let me know what you think in the reactions boxes and/or comment section below!



Thanks for stopping by!! <3
