Marble Nail (attempt)

So I saw a really cool water marble technique on YouTube and wanted to give it a shot.  The idea is that you paint your nails a base color or colors and then use black polish on the water and spray it with hand sanitizer.  The sanitizer eats holes through the black polish then you dip your nail into it.  This creates a layer over the base coat has has rips, tears, or holes in it.  Very cool - if you can get it to work.  I have looked everywhere for spray hand santizer and am having a very difficult time finding it.  So I thought to myself perhaps the effect is mostly created by the alcohol in the sanitzer.  I decided to test my theory by using whiteboard cleaner instead since I had some of that already.  It didn't work exactly like the video, but it did give me some interesting results.  I plan to continue my search for the hand sanitzer and try again soon.  Still I kinda like the look.  I think maybe next time I will try hot pink underneath a hole-ly layer of bright purple.

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!

Hello, all!  We went to Disney this year for spring break and it was amazing.  It was, of course, incredibly busy, but tons of fun all the same.  I knew that I needed something Disney for my nails for the week and finally came up with this idea.  I was very pleased with it.  I even got some embarassing attention from one of the performers when I got called to the stage to "help"the band via the cowbell.  The leader announced that I must not have been able to decide which color to paint my nails and decided to go with four different colors.  I showed him the Mickey on my thumb and he said "Wow! That's creative!"  This design was not all that impressive but I enjoyed having it in the Disney spirit.
