GOSH

After seeing Sabrina's review on GOSH Nail Glitter a while back I've been meaning to try it out and I finally have. Basically you just paint your nail a base colour, I used Models Own Nude, and dip your nail into the glitter while the polish is still wet. Then, use a small make-up brush to remove excess glitter and you're done. I love the effect as it's totally different to glitter polish and is really easy to do. However as you can see from the pictures it's extremely messy there's glitter everywhere in my room now aha. I also noticed that Sabrina has a handy hint of how to remove glitter from nails easily, we all know it's a complete pain so check it out here.

Marbling

 At the 90s night my friend had done marbling on her nails, I hadn't seen it before and it's so cool so me and my little sister gave it a go- it's pretty time consuming but fairly easy. Here's what you do (I would suggest watching a YouTube tutorial too!)

Firstly tape around your fingers so only your nail is showing, apparently it works better if you use a white base coat too which I completely forgot about, so do that too.


Then fill up a container with room temperature water, drop the colours you want to use one by one (you have to do it fairly quickly because they dry super fast) then use a cocktail stick or some kind of substitute- mine was a plastic fork ha- to swirl the polish around to make a cool pattern.


Dip your finger into the design where you want it to print onto your nail and scrape away the excess.



Take the tape of when your nails are dry, remove any polish from around the cuticle, apply a top coat and you're done :). Some of my nails came out really good and some weren't so great but I'm definitely going to try it again, using a white base too! I think you need to make sure the design is really small so you can get all of it on the nail.
