Spring Watercolor

Hi there!

This is my take on a watercolor manicure...

My watercolor nails painted with Julep - Brigitte, Amy,
Anne, Taylor, and Dendrie.

I kind of got carried away with all of my spots, but I was just having way too much fun to stop!

If you want to recreate this design, you'll need a cap full of polish remover and an art brush. Follow these simple steps...

Step 1: Paint your nails white.
Step 2: Drop 3-4 dots of your first color onto your first nail.
Step 3: Dip your art brush into polish remover.
Step 4: Place your art brush into your dots of your first color and pat it around your nail.
Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4 on each nail with as many colors as you choose.
Step 6: Apply a top coat and you're done!

I submitted this manicure to Julep's blog... you can see that here if you'd like.

Have you tried this technique? What do you like/dislike about it?

Until next time...

Grey Sky Water Marble

Hi there!

I really love water marbles, so I did one inspired by Seattle's rain, snow, and ice...

Blue and grey water marble with Julep - Dendrie and Michelle.

I'm quite happy about how this turned out! I painted 2 coats of Dendrie (grey) and then I marbled with Dendrie and Michelle. I topped it with a coat of Julep's topcoat. These polishes work very well together when marbling... I didn't have to redo any of the designs!

Click here to see this manicure with a water marble "how to" on Julep's blog. I was their guest blogger yesterday :-)

Here is a picture of the bottles...

Will you be trying this anytime soon?

Until next time...
