I am part of a monthly Bunco group, and this month it was my turn to host. My theme was "guilty pleasures," so we had scorecards with things like Jake Gyllenhaal, fried chicken, Britney Spears CDs and fruity cocktails on them. We had Cheetos and some delicious cupcakes and mini corn dogs. We had a REALLY delicious cocktail with marshmallow vodka, creme de cacoa and cream soda. While I was thinking about MY guilty pleasures, of COURSE nail polish came to mind immediately. So it got me thinking... how many different colors could I wear at once, and how would I put them on?
I thought about a patchwork mani, but I eventually settled on a water marble. With experimenting with colors, it took me a couple of hours to finish this, but it was worth it - people loved it!
I had several turn out the way I've wanted my others to turn out. I used distilled water this time and it seemed to help with getting the polishes to spread much more than I've ever gotten them to do before. I was surprised how much I like the glitter nail and that China Glaze Riveting turned coral, and it was fun getting to know which of my polishes work best and ideas for new color combos.
