Digit-al Dozen: May Birthday Mani

Greetings and Nailutations,

I know it's June today, but I'm going to share my May Digit-al Dozen Birthday mani.  In May Oksana of The Polish Koi was born and she selected a fun photo for inspiration!

Let's get to the details!

Products used:
Rogue Lacquer - Blizzard Beach (press sample)
China Glaze - White on White
MPolish - Baroque
Dream Polish - Gem Glam Top Coat (press sample)
Ribbits Stickits - Un-Frog-gettable Cuticle Cover (press sample)

I was going to do some fluid nail art/drip marble, but decided to try using water spotting technique.  I did a base of Blizzard Beach.  I then added White on White and Baroque in water and sprayed with hand sanitizer to create a spotted look.  After protecting my skin with Cuticle Cover, I dipped my nails in and layered it.  I do wish I would have only dipped one time on each nail to have more blue present, but hey...you live in learn.  :)  It's topped with Gem Glam Top Coat.




I hope you enjoyed this mani!  And be sure to head to Oksana's blog to wish her a happy belated birthday month!

  9. This is SO pretty! I have no idea what a water-spotting pattern is, but it sounds a lot easier than getting those petal-patterns from traditional watermarbling.
