NOTD: Purple Fire

Hey everyone! So I finished up this manicure today--which was inspired by one that I had done for my friend Danielle a couple of days ago--and I showed it to my other friend Lauren who said, "Whoa, it looks like purple fire!" Hence the title of this blog post. So without further ado, here come the pictures! enjoy :)

Ok, so I started with my favorite plum color China Glaze Urban-Night. Then I added OPI Alpine Snow and Essie Watermelon using the dry water marbling technique.

Thanks for stopping by, come back again soon! Love, passionnforpolishh <3

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!
