Busy Girl's Summer Nail Art Challenge - Mix Match


I decided to do all water marbles for this week's challenge! I was playing around and testing out different combinations in the water, and just picked five that I liked to put on my nails for today.





I tried for a similar pattern on each nail, just with different color schemes.

All the colors I used are:

Pointer: Love & Beauty by Forever 21 Seafoam and Purple Passion, and Zoya Avery.
Middle: Color Club Wanderlust collection.
Ring: butter LONDON Marrow and Confetti Margarita Senorita.
Pinky: Zoya Sweet, and China Glaze Lemon Fizz, Peachy Keen, and Electric Beat.
Thumb: China Glaze Gaga for Green and Spontaneous.

I had actually started out with a full-mani marble using the Wanderlust collection, and was going to come up with a mix match design around it, but decided on a different marble for each finger instead. 

The Wanderlust collection consists of:
Mod in Manhattan (nude).
Calling London (green).
Reign in Spain (orange).
Pardon My French (purple).

The first picture below is the most color-accurate. These polishes are called "neon pastels", so I assume "neon" is partly why they were so difficult to photograph!



Even if they are a hassle, I just love water marbles! ^.^
