Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I decided to try this awesome clover water marble design I saw on YouTube, made by the water marble expert Simple Little Pleasures.

This is the second design I did for  St. Patrick's Day. The first one was a total fail. I had a bit longer nails when I did it, and the green I picked didn't look as nice as I thought it would. Then the stamping I did was quite unattractive and I decided it was too aweful to post this fail mani on the blog, so I did a new one today.

Even though green is one of my least favorite colors, this design came out pretty nice! I think I like it :) My marbling skills are not super, and the design isn't perfect like the original, but still - it's cute. Iove the combination of these two colors and the clover on the middle finger came out pretty nice.

For the base I applied two coats of Beauty Care 14 which is a bright lime green, and for the marble I used the same color along with Skinfood Mocha Gold. Once dried, I applied one coat of Poshe.

So what do you think about this design? Are you having issues with green colors as well? :)

This weekend I couldn't decide what nail polish to use, because I had so many new additions, but I finally wend with the Skinfood Purple Stone I just got in the mail few days ago.

Purple Stone is a dark shimmery purple with some blue and red shimmer, and it's just spectacular in the sun light.

I took these pictures one day after applying it, after some dish washing, so the edges are a bit worn off and it shows, but I think that's just something you can't prevent with such a dark color.

Overall this color is pretty and I really love how it looks in the sun light. 

I think a clear top coat is a must in this case because it brings out the colors and it looks great with it.

I don't know why it is that everything I cut my nails short, I have the urge to apply a dark color, but that's just the way t is - and Purple Stone did a great job for me this time :)

Today I had four new additions to my collection.

First is the Skinfood Purple Stone I got in the mail. I purchased it on eBay and was really curious about it's color. I'm happy I got it at last and I actually like it! It's a deep dark shimmery purple with some blue and red shimmer that almost looks tiny glitters but they are shimmer. It was opaque in two coats.

Skinfood is a Korean brand and this is my second nail polish from this brand.

The second part of the haul is the Mini Colorama. I've purchased three of them today for a great price, but I didn't have much selection so I think I ended up with one color that I have already in my collection from another brand.

From left to right - 56 Coral Rose, 94 Ultra Violet, 135 Tart.

Coral Rose is a lovely peachy color with golden shimmer. It's really sheer so I needed to apply 3 thick coats. I think it would be lovely over peachy creme color as well and will need less coats.

Ultra Violet is actually pink in my eyes. It's creamy and has no shimmer to it. Needed 2 coats. It's a lovely color but I already have something really close to it.

Tart is a gorgeous purple plum color. It has a great shimmery look. almost metallic. It is very thick and I could have used only one coat, but I added the second for a richer color.
