I have over a hundred nail polishes lets say I'm a bit obsessed lol!!! I don't like getting professional manis I'd rather do them myself so do any of you ladies have any cool funky tricks??? I just mastered water marbeling and loveeeee it :D ImageUploadedByTapatalk1362579982.839783.jpgno nail is ever the same :)

Ok so how do you do it...maybe you need to take pics and show us the process. cos that looks really cool.
Afraid I just slap nail varnish on (when not working) and hope for the best. My nails are kept really short for my job (nurse) and have to be left bare too. So when I am on leave I get to grow them a little and paint them whatever colour I fancy :dancing:

I do use foils occasionally, but its tricky trying to do my right hand x
 
I'm awful at painting my nails. I try to stick to just neutral (skin tone) colors so when I mess up it's not too noticeable. Any tricks to not be crappy at it? :D
 
Lol actually this is awesome if u r bad at painting nails I suck doing my own but can paint just about anyone else's!!! Ill do a video the next time I do them but all u do is have a small bowl of room temperature water, pick ur nail polish colors n open them all b4 u start, drop a color into the water n let it disperse then repeat with all ur colors, take a toothpick (once u have finished with the colors) n swirl them together then dunk ur nail in it :) the only issue is u have to be really quick if it dries u have to start again lol!!!! It takes me about 5 minutes to do both hands but the first time I did it it took 20 minutes n I only did one nail per hand.

My daughter does freehand nail art, but unfortunately I can't wear nail polish as a nurse. :nope: These designs are beautiful! I wonder if my toes could be done this way with my next pedi?!
 
Lol I have to take it off every time I go to an interview :p idk about the water marbling on toes bcuz u actually have to dip ur finger in the water lol!!!! But the watercolor would work (no water involved lol) I'm trying that next :)

I dont even get my fingernails done at a shop since I ruin them immediately. Now a pedi at the salon is another mattter. I am going to show my daughter this post cuz she would love it!!
 
I absolutely love paintin my nails theyr always different patterns colours etc. I also practise on cheap rubbish false nails from the £1 shops.

Heres the patterns i have pics of.. I dont often take pics tho
