The Digit-al Dozen Does Metals: Day 5 - Metallic Toothpick Marble

Nothing to Disclose


The Digit-al Dozen
Does METALS



Good Morning, it's FRIDAY! That's good and bad. good because, well...it's Friday, and bad because this is the last day of Digit-al Dozen week.

Today I have one of my stand-by techniques - the toothpick marble.





I used Pure Ice Magic for the middle and Silver Mercedes on one side with Borghese Lira on the other. Then while they were still wet, I just used a toothpick to drag the colors back and forth across the nail starting at the cuticle and ending at the tip. Of course you have to do them one nail at a time so they don't dry. This is one of the quickest and easiest nail art techniques I know how to do.

Since this is the last day, I thought I'd show you a couple of Metals Week manis that didn't make the cut.

A scroll-y one...



And a splotchy one...




Have a great weekend!!!

  2. I suck at this technique but this looks great - it almost looks like a demented tiger pattern x (in a good way)
