wow loverly how did you do the marbling ?

tutorial ????

Love the blue ones, are the two new ones the middle n nagger finger on the top hand? I only say this because they look shinier than the other but that may be the camera.

Great work well done

great job Victoria, love the use of colour.

think we could do with a tutorial on this one xx

they look fab, a very interesting look well done.

as to the other pic, i reckon you sculpted the left hand index finger...... . The right hand ring finger needs some attention though, there's marbelling under that acrylic/gel/powder. If i was to guess, the second one it would be middle finger right hand. I'm only guessing though (because they look the "freshest nails")
Wish I had the time to play like you do.

Thanks everyone!!

The ones that were sculpted were the left nagger (bottom hand) - that one turned a little flattish. Had trouble with the new forms... clear plastic ones? Not as stiff as the black and gold that I'm used to. Kinda rubbery. Not keen on them. Maybe with practice....
The other was right pinkie (top). Form fit better on that one.

I did miss a few spots when I cleaned up the sidewalls... at the time, it was 11pm at night LOL I was half blind and tired

I know I still need work on the smiles. And my free edge shape.... It's better than it used to be. One day at a time, aye?

I've been trying to make my smiles 'curvier'... Getting better, but still not consistent :-(

For the marbling.
I had 3 bottles of polish: blue, silver and white.
Gave them all a good roll (shake)
line them up.
Then I would marble one finger at a time.
I would take one colour and drop haphazard blobs of polish (little blobs) about the top of the nail. Then grabbed the next one and filled in a couple of spaces. Then the next..
All quickly.
Then I took a striper that had been shortened, and dragged it every which way; diagonally, vertically, horizontally, squiggly lol Until everything was pulled into each other.
Took a clean flat gel brush dipped in acetone, dabbed it on a wipe (so it wasn't dripping) and cleaned my smile line.
Voila.

For each finger, I would try to place my blobs differently and use differing amounts of each colour, trying to keep them 'different'.

It really doesn't take long to do at all.

Thanks again everyone!

PS: if you get too much polish on, just drag a bit off with the striper brush. Since the polish is all dragged about anyway, no one will know that you "smeared" it off LOL

Victoria I absolutely love these, I want to do these now, they look fantastic hun! Well done!

I've only got one stripper brush and i use that alot for my acrylic waterbased paints. Any ideas what else I could use to get this effect?, I have tried with a dotting tool but just can't seem to get the hang of it!

whats a nagger ?

The index finger.
The one that we moms shake at our kids when we 'nag' them and give them what-for.

(or at our hubbies )

well i got one right

Hi Victoria

I love these, they look really great. Very unusual.
You made it sound like they are quite easy to do, but I'm guessing they are a bit fiddlier!!!

Well done. I'm going to pinch that idea off you if you don't mind!!!
