31 Day Challenge 2015: Water Spotting

Hello lovelies!

I have a quick post for you guys today. It's only day three of 2015 and I'm already getting sick. So much fun!

Anywho, onto the nails!

At least, I have sparkles. Sparkles are good (:

Here's what I used:


Water spotted nail art is another one that I haven't done in a while. It's a good thing that I started this manicure by doing my right hand first because I was under the impression that the clean-up wouldn't be "that bad." Nope. Absolutely not. Turned Up Turquoise loves staining skin and cuticles. Green tinged fingers are going to be a 2015 fashion trend, right?

These nails started with two coats of A Raisin To Live. When that dried, I made sure to put vaseline on my fingers and around my nails (I learned from the right hand and protected this hand.) I then dripped some of Turned Up Turquoise into a cup of water and sprayed it with hair spray. When the polish separated, I dipped each finger in. This was repeated with At Vase Value, and I finished everything with a layer of HK Girl.

As messy as these were to accomplish, I like how the nails turned out. I was tempted to add a little round stud at the base of my nail, but I wore these work and knew that I would end up losing them. Simple is good!


Thanks for reading guys!

    I feel your pain on Tut being a stainer but oh.my.dot these are awesome! They're like polishes stones that jewelry makers would pay big money to have!

    Thank you! I've had that problem too! It's like sometimes the polish wants to cooperate and other times it's like giving you the finger haha.
