Here are a pair of water marbles that are just right for the season!
First off, I've picked up some latex body paint on Amazoid and put a bit into an empty striping polish container. It's pretty much life changing - when I use it right! I'll discuss it a bit more with each photo.
WetnWild Inferno and Borghese black
I love the color combination.
I had WnW Inferno as a base coat, which means that it supports the orange in the water marble, because over a black base it would be far to sheer.
Now, you can see that I dipped my fingers deep into the water marbling jar and got it all over. When I used the latex paint I painted closely around the nail, leaving a bit of the edge, an down to the first knuckle...well, you can see I passed the knuckle.
It has to be said that nail polish remover isn't a complete panacea for removing pigment once it gets into the cracks of your skin.
Sally Hansen Snappy Creme and Leather Creme
Totally brings out the yellow in Snappy Creme. I think it looks a bit like decaying flesh, but I'm not much into zombies and such. Though it does have that melting face thing, which I do like.
I guess I still go out to the barn by myself and think I'm in World War Z or something and once I turn on the barn lights I'll see a herd of zombies in the barn aisle.
RUN!
(unless they don't like horse pooh, in which case I'm safe if I hide in the muck heap.)
This time around I pretty much covered myself down to the second knuckle and did not get it all over me. Still, I had leftover black and orange on my hands.
My experience with the latex body paint was successful, inasmuch as I learned that it's really helpful when I apply enough to cover my fingers.
Nice!
Thanks for reading my little nail journal!

LOL great post! I did the same with ordering liquid latex from Amazon and bottling....got it all over my bathroom sink counter...but hey, easy clean up when it dries! And then I've never used it!!
ReplyDeleteI just chopped my nails, so now I'm not feeling any art efforts...enjoying some spritely touch typing on the work laptop tho!
Yeah, I had hot pink splatter in places that kind of surprised me!
