Rainbow Skittles Water Marble

Hey guys! Here today with a water marble :) One a bit different from what I have done before, but I'm sure you guys will like it ;)

For those of you that have been followers for a while you know I've done an all green, all purple, and all pink marbles, as well as a few with multiple colors. Well this one is a bit of all of the above! Rainbow!

I've wanted to do this for a while and I'm not really sure why it took me so long, but overall I was pretty pleased with the outcome. The yellow was gorgeous in the water, but I guess because it's a lighter color it wasn't as obvious on my nail. The reds I had a bit of trouble with too, and I hit the stick on my blue *boo!!* but like I said, overall I'm very happy with how it turned out.

What's funny too is when the old man saw it he said "it looks like Skittles!" he's a smart man ;)

So here is the long list of all the polishes I used.

RED
OPI The Color Of Minnie
Zoya Cyma
Wet N Wild Everybody Loves Redmond
Dr.'s Remedy Balance Brick

ORANGE
China Glaze Papaya Punch
OPI A Good Man-Darin Is Hard To Find

Until next time! Happy painting!

Water Marble Tutorial

Hey guys! I am re-doing my tutorial page, because I set it up wrong the first time, so I copied and pasted this water marble tutorial that way I'd have a link to link back to it ;)

You will need polish colors of your choice (China Glaze colors work great), a cup (paper or plastic is easy because you can toss it later!) and a wooden stick of some sort (I use a manicure stick)

You can see my post here, done with these colors (the mani I had on in the pictures).

You're then going to put one drop at a time of polish right on top of the water, it should spread out fairly quickly. Repeat with as many layers of the colors you are looking for.

Once you are done with your drops, use your manicure stick to gently make designs in the polish however you see fit.

Now it's time to dip your nails in. Some people like to put scotch tape all around their fingers to be able to clean up easier, putting vasoline all around your fingers works too, then you are able to just wipe it away, or if you don't feel like doing either you can do an extensive clean up like I normally do lol. You will want to have your fingers as flat as possible when putting them against the polish, once they hit the polish, dip your fingers into the water.

While your fingers are still in the water, use the manicure stick to pick up all the surrounding polish still in the water. Try and keep your fingers submerged in the water the whole time.

Once you have cleaned up the rest of the polish from the water pull your fingers out like you were in a dive, but with your hands :P and tada!!! You have your water marble, now you add a top coat, do your clean up and you're ready to go!

What do you guys think? Have you had luck with your water marbles?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Summer Fun Challenge, Pool Party!

Hey guys! Back with post 3 of the Neverland Nail Blog's summer fun challenge! This time it's pool party! This had a few idea running through my mind, of course the first being the water, but since I didn't think I could do it, and then Michelle from Sonoma Nail Art did some water like I planned so I changed it up again!!

Since I just went through all of my polish this weekend (those of you that have liked my FB page probably already knew that) I had all my colors separated out on my table which made it easy to find blues that I was interested in using. My original plan was to do a yellow polka dot bikini, a duck floatie, and a beach ball on the blues...but once again changed my mind!

I used China Glaze custom kicks, Finger Paints blue raspberry taffy and Deborah Lippmann let's hear it for the boy, as well as a generic white to do a water marble and boy oh boy am I happy with it! I then used the same white, Zoya Meg, Kimber and Carly on the beach ball. I at first didn't have it outlined and me thinking "oh let's try and make it better!" didn't improve it lol...it looked better without the black outline but I think you can still tell what it is!

Onto the pics! Sorry about the lack of my light box, there is still polish all over my nail table!

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Purple Water Marble!

Hey guys! I'm sorry I've been slacking and not had a post up daily, but I've been really busy :P It's getting to be toward the end of the semester, so I'll be getting even busier, BUT I do plan on starting a nail art contest here in the next few days!

As those of you that read my last post know, I just did an all pink water marble for my birthday last Thursday and it came out super cute! On my blog's Facebook page I did a poll to see what the majority favorite color was, and purple came out to be the top. So I figured I'd do an all purple marble to please my fans :D That and in PLOP a lot of did a group water marble, and all the posts will be up today, so keep an eye out for the other blogs with marbles today!

So for this marble I used 7 different purples, they are all random on every nail but I'll name the colors off for you guys :) OPI Catherine The Grape, Kleancolor Neon Purple, Sinful Colors Let's Talk, Sinful Colors Verbena, China Glaze Senorita Bonita, Funky Fingers Sugarplum Fairy, Essence Nail Art Twin Gabriella, Essence Nail Art Twin Thelma, and topped it all off with China Glaze Fairy Dust.

What do you guys think? It turned out much better on my left hand, but not horrible on my right :P I think my favorite is my pointer finger on my left hand :)

Until next time! Happy painting!

It's My Birthday!!

Hey guys! Today is my birthday! Yay :D I'm 28 today! Phew I'm getting old :P Nothing too exciting going on since it's a weekday, but we are going to lunch at Olive Garden before old man needs to go to work, and then I get to drive to Fresno (about 45 minutes away) to do a presentation in class (I have distance learning classes), then having a few drinks with my group members. Super exciting huh? ;)

So my favorite color is pink, and I love glitter so I wanted to do something with both of those, what did I decide on? An all pink water marble!! I started with one coat of a white polish (SC snow me white), and used 6 of my pinks. We have Zoya Izzy, Zoya Renee, OPI Flower to Flower, Wet N Wild How I Met Your Magenta, Funky Fingers Queen Cupcake and China Glaze It's Poppin.

I know I still have nubs *sad* but the freaking edges keep breaking on them, so I keep having to file them down, it's driving me nuts, but not a whole lot I can do about it :P Forgive the super smeared "28" I keep forgetting my Nubar Diamont topcoat tends to smear, I need to use my Seche instead when I have any type of art :P

My pinky on my left hand is my favorite!! Which one is yours?

Oh and I figured I would show you the SUPER cute flowers my old man got me, and the presents my bestie sent :) I do these posts the night before, so who knows what else I'll get! ;)

Until next time! Happy painting!

Green Water Marble for St. Patty's Day!

Hey guys! Here today with another marble! I think this is maybe the third I have done in the past month? I've been experimenting more with it, and since I've done it a few times now it's gotten easier and easier :) Practice makes perfect right?

I used three green China Glaze polishes for this marble, we have entourage, paper chasing and starboard. I just randomly placed them in the water each time then swirled with the manicure stick. It's relatively easy if you are patient and have the right polishes. China Glaze have seemed to be the best for me, what have been the best for you?

I did start with one coat of white before dipping my nails into the water, and I'm pretty pleased with how the three greens mixed together. I did the three greens for St. Patrick's Day :)

What do you think? Which finger is your favorite? Mine is the pinky I think :)

Until next time! Happy painting!

MMMM Cotton Candy! Water Marble!

Hey guys! Today we have a childhood favorite, cotton candy! Why you ask? I visited Diamond Candles website today because I wanted to order "Carnival Candy" candle which had a picture of cotton candy on it, well they were sold out BUT it gave me today's idea :)

I broke out the water, cup, wooden cuticle pusher, and polish out! I started with a thick later of white as a base, taped my fingers up and off I went! Today's colors are China Glaze it's poppin, and sky high top. China Glaze cremes are AWESOME to use for marbles!

I was a bit mad at myself...I hit my thumb while it was still in the water with the wooden stick, so I have a messed up spot but I didn't want to re-do it :P Overall I'm very happy with it! The pink and blue mixed in some areas to make it look purple, which was what I was going for!

So who wants some cotton candy!?

What do you guys think? Have you checked out the tutorial on how to do this yet? If not do it! ;)

Until next time! Happy painting!

China Glaze Water Marble

Hey guys! Today is extra special, I'm actually pleased enough with my water marble to show it!!

Recently I was able to get my hands on (well more like the Ninja was) 6 of the China Glaze Kicks collection. These colors are awesome, seriously you NEED them, k?

I used one of the pinks, a green and a blue to do the marble. They aren't perfect BUT I think they look pretty damn good! I used a white base before dipping into the marble and then tada, beautiful nails they all the chicks at my gym were all talking about (seriously like 6 girls asked to see them).

Onto pics, for some reason my left hand ended up being more blue and green even though I did the exact same thing, weird right? But they still looked great!





What do you think? What colors or brands have you found that work well for marbling?

TUTORIAL will be posted for this on a separate link over by my stash list, wish list etc. Not a video, but pics to help you do this as well :)

Until next time, happy painting!

Dry water marble!

There has been a lot of talk in two FB groups I belong to about this dry water marble tutorial, so I checked it out and decided to try my hand at it tonight.

Wayyy easier than I thought it would be!!!

Crappy cell phone picture again, I'm sorry! So this was right after I finished playing in the polish with a toothpick :)

The dark blue is China Glaze first mate, shimmery orange is Sinful Colors cloud 9, lighter blue is Dr.'s Remedy bold baby blue, and the bright orange is China Glaze papaya punch.



For all of my new readers, orange and blue are my school colors :) I am president of AGS (alpha gamma sigma), the honor society at my school this semester, and since our meetings are on Thursdays, I'm going to start doing school colors for them :) Last week I did this :)

So here is how it turned out, it was so easy! I just did a clear base coat, let it mostly dry applied the dry water marbling in pieces, used the edge of my other finger nails to get the excess off, topped it with SV, and cleaned it up with pure acetone and a nail art brush. I love how it turned out!



How do you think it turned out? Have you tried this method before?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Ahh the girly art of doing your nails and toes!

Thanks to a friend of mine, I am now obsessed with doing my nails and toes! It all started off with a swirly nail design, sounds cool right? It's a pain in the butt! Butttt it looks awesome! Here is how mine turned out :D

Well as most of us females that ever paint our nails know it doesn't seem to last long unless you have acrylic, so I took it off today because it had been chipping all over my damn house, and i did something different :)

My nails are now leopard, and I have a quick few pics on step by step :D

First do a clear base coat, then white (normally you have to do a few layers of the white to get it so it's not all streaky)

Once the white is dry you need a black nail art pen (you can get them pretty much anywhere) free hand a leopard print design on, leaving enough open spaces for the colors you are going to put on later.

Once that is dry apply your colors (I did mine inside of the circles I made)

And tada!! you have awesome nails that you didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for! :D

These are the colors I used for mine :)

Once I was done with my nails I decided I wanted to do zebra on my toes :)

once again start with a clear base coat, once dry choose your color and apply a few layers


Once dry add your sparkle polish, mine matches the color of the no sparkle polish that way I don't need to do 14 layers of sparkle that will NEVER come off later :P



Once dry get that black nail art pen again and free hand your zebra design :)

tada!! once again you did it at home and didn't have to fork over your money for food for the next month!



and these are the colors I used :)


I wish I could say these three were allllll my idea, but hey I'm not a jerk like that. This chick has videos on how to do each of the three that I have done so far, as well as other ones I have not tried before :) http://www.beautylish.com/profile/yivcy/videos

Happy painting!! :D
