Pin Marble!

Hello hello hello!
Nice to see you here, guess you wanna know about Pin Marbling, huh? :P

As a simple opening description, I'm gonna say that a pin marble is pretty much a water marble... without all the mess all the way up your fingers! :)
(Don't know what water marble is? Check *this post*

And, as always, have a few pictures before I talk you through a couple of super easy steps!






So! This version of marbling is so easy and a lot less messy! It's also quicker, in my opinion, but it depends how pretty and precise you like your designs to be :)

All you need is...
*Nail Polish Colours (However many you want... I'd suggest 2-4, but you could go up to 5 or 6 if you're brave enough to!)
*Top/Base Coat
*A pin- or needle, small dotting tool, even a striper brush works- just to drag the polish :)

All you have to do is...
1. (After prepping your nails!) Paint your nails in the colour you want as the base. (I used my darkest blue, and my lightest blue- you can you any though ^^) 
2. Wait 'til this colour is super dry, you don't want to end up dragging this round your nail!
3. Going a nail at a time, slop on another layer of your base colour (a thick layer!). Put some drops of the other colour(s) on the top- again, thick layers guys! And then grab your pin or chosen tool (dotting tool is my tool of choice) and drag that polish to where you want it to go! You can make flame patterns, mush the colours together, or just make them all swirly!
4. Repeat for each nail
5. Top coat! :)
(6. I used a fast-drying top-coat on top of my normal top coat, just to speed the drying time up a little since there is a lot of polish there! It also made them super duper shiny, so thank you Nails Inc!)

Have some more images :D

Insta'd... Shopping!

Hey everyone! So whilst exams are underway, I'm gonna be posting some random updates showing my recent instagram pics and writing some text-only posts. Today I'm grouping up my last week-or-so's shopping items! First of all, I ordered some pretty little MoYou London  stamping plates and an XL stamper... And I'm loving them all. You'll hear loads more about these post-exams!

Wiki'd Nails: Tesla

Hey everyone! Today's "Wiki'd Nails" Challenge subject is "Tesla"... of the Nikola Tesla variety. I must say, I recognised the name when I first read it but wasn't sure what he did. Apparently he's best known for the AC system in electricity, which sparked a few ideas to transfer onto nails. My first plan was going to be some lightning strike nails, but then I remembered about a new stamping plate I got...

Happy New Year! (Have a quick update~)
