Drag Marble Clover Nails


After doing the Valentine's Day drag marble nails I was itching to do another drag marble. With St. Patrick's Day coming up I thought that would be a great theme!


Polish Used


Nails Inc. London Special Effects - Swiss Cottage
Sally Hansen - Xtreme wear, Golden-I & Instadri top coat

-

How To


You want to do this while both polishes are wet. You can see what I mean in the video in the Valentin'es post mentoined above.
I like to put 1 coat and let it dry and then do this. I feel this helps you from scraping down to the bare nail.
Put 4 dots where you want your clover to be and drag them inwards with a tooth pick or something similar.
I added a small white crystal to the center of the clover, and then alternated light green and dark green crystals on my other toes.



My Thoughts


I absolutely love drag marbling. Once you get the hang of it it's super easy and quick to do really adorable designs. If I did this particular design again I would probably not use 2 metallic colors. I feel it blended together too much, at least with these 2 colors.



I hope you guys liked my design! Remember you can always share your designs with me on my Facebook page. I also just made an Instagram just for the blog!

2016 Collection Swatches: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Ivy League


I chose a green polish this time as St. Patrick's Day is coming up. I really love this color! It sorta reminds me of those giant fig beetles. (I've never seen one up close but they are SO green)


One coat




Two coats



Surprisingly I don't seem to have any pictures where I've used this in a design. Maybe I can do some St Patrick's Day nails with it!



Be sure to let me know if there's a specific polish you'd like to see me swatch!

Heart French Tips - Red & Silver


I mentioned in my last Valentine's post that I had intended to do a totally different design, and this is kind of what I wanted to do. I planned to do a mix of this design and the drag marbling but, it just didn't work out that way, and I didn't bother with it this time cause I thought this would be cuter.

This design is extremely simple. I didn't use anything special for it, just nail polish and their original brushes.


Polishes


OPI - The Trill of Brazil
SinfulColors - Out of This World




I hope y'all enjoyed this post, and have a Happy Valentine's Day!
