Hello again!
My water marble nails lasted a week, but it got removed on Sunday to make way for something new as it had a few chips on the right hand by that point. It made me sad, but happy I could try something else!
This is actually an attempt at two things - using some new nail polish I got, and a slightly different tape mani.

Polishes Used
Ulta3 - Pacific Fever
Ulta3 - Pearly Grape
You can't see it in the pictures, but both colours have a lovely, subtle glitter effect. I love them both! What's even better is they were $2.25 each.
To be honest though - I don't really love the nails. I kind of flubbed it, and came really close to taking it all off in a fit of temper, but I'm persevering and redoing the ones that I find extremely frustrating. It's a shame because I really love the colour combo, and I still think it would look awesome if I had managed it right...but I suspect this will be being replaced in a couple of days.
I doubt anyone is actually reading this haha, but if there is - how do you clean around your nails after polishing? I have really shaky hands to always end up with some on the sides, and a cotton bud is just not cutting it. =/
After I paint mine, and they've had a good couple hours to dry, I give my hands a good, long soak in a sink or tub full of slightly soapy, hot as I can stand water, massaging around the cuticles with my fingertips, which works all that extra gunk off them without chipping and of whats on the nails. It takes a little time, but it feels sooo good.(Works great to paint after work then do this this before bed time.) If there's still some stubborn polish stuck, massaging a bunch of lotion around the cuticles in the same way will loosen it up enough that it comes off in the shower while you're washing your hair!
