Mother of Pearl Nails Did

Well, well. Long time no see! Sorry I've been awol with the posting - my only excuse is that I just haven't been feeling well, so I've been trying to kick whatever I've got and not polishing my nails so much. But today I thought I'd do a quick post before running back to bed. I'm hoping to get back up to posting more regularly again, I just have to start feeling better :)

So I bought this mother of pearl ring in Cuba for 50cents and really just love it., so I thought I'd dupe my mani to make it look just like it...or er, as close as possible LOL.

I started off with OPI's Curry UpDon't Be Late with a layer of Happy Anniversary on top. Then I water marbled Sally Hansen Satin Slip Frost and Mocha Frost with China Glaze White on White. I used black and white nail art pens for the final blotches on top.

I hope everyone is doing well! I'm off to nap again :P What can I say - when I'm sick I'm a huge suck!

In the spirit of drunken debauchery that is about to take place tonight - here is my first attempt at water marbling. Its supposed to look like you've had a few too many. Not too bad but I think next time I'll use a lighter base. This also took a shit load of time. Looks pretty cool though. Opi's Linkin Park After Dark for the base, marbling is done with Opi's The Thrill in Brazil, Happy Anniversary and a cheap gold. Also - next time I have to get those pointy q-tips for cleanup because that IS the hardest part.
