Red and White Water Marble - The Lazy Challenge #4

Here is day #4 of the Lazy 15: Water Marble...

I've attempted a water marble before but found my results less than great so I've always abandoned it. This was no exception. I did this about 10 times (with lots of swearing involved) but in the end I had something I was semi-happy with. I used a base coat of Sally Hansen French White then marbled that combined with Technic 'Magenta'. The marble was finished off with a couple of coats of Seche Vite. I'm still not blown away with the result, at least compared to some that I've seen. However, I think this is the real beauty of doing a challenge - it definitely puts you out of your comfort zone!

I'm glad I persevered and I think the results looked much better in person than in the pictures - you should have seen some of my earlier results though ha ha!

Challenge:Jean Paul Gaultier Nails

Exciting times! I’ve had my first challenge request from Sian who asks:

“I have a new obsession in my life – the new diet coke can from Jean Paul Gaultier with the Breton stripes. Has been an object of fascination to me since I saw it on the shelves last week and have taken to leaving it in situ on my desk at work so myself and others can admire its wonderfulness.

How about a set of nails to give this iconic can double the attention it is getting already when you hold it?”

And here’s the result, Breton stripes and all!

I’m pretty impressed with the result – although I think I could have done a better job at making the space between the stripes more even…

The nail polish I used was Barry M ‘Matt White‘ and I used this striping tape again.

What do you think? If you have any other challenge ideas for me then submit your challenge here…
