Smoosh Marble Chevron

Hey everyone!

I hope ya'll have been well. 

I decided to try a little more free hand this time around. I'm not the best so I did get some help from my good friend, striping tape. 

This one is a little more complicated than usual, which is good because sometimes we all need a challenge. I tried two different techniques for this one due to a minor mishap, and decided on this one. If I did it again, I'd find another way because this one worked out a little better than the original technique. 

So here we have the Smoosh Marble Chevron design.

What I used:
Sea-ing Stars - Sally Hansen
Garden Variety - Essie
Blossom Dandy - Essie
Blanc - Essie
Lady in Black - OPI
Camo Coat - Celestial
Kwik Dry top coat - Sally Hansen
Striping tape
Striping brush

For this design I started with two coats of Blanc. While drying, I applied Camo Coat around the nails to protect from the next step. I dropped blobs of Sea-ing Stars, Garden Variety & Blossom Dandy onto a large stamper, then stamped them onto the nail, making sure to spread all the colours around. I then removed the Camo Coat, allowed the polish to dry and then added a quick dry top coat. For the two white nails, I placed two pieces of striping tape into a chevron shape and painted the top half with Blanc. I used Lady in Black and a thin striping brush to paint black chevron lines & a black line across the free edge. Finally, I finished with a quick dry top coat.

There you have it. I know this is not my best work, but I still love the way it looks. I am a little bit in love with smoosh marble nails, they always look amazing! And of course they're so easy!
