Good Morning!!! Today I have a quick Nail of the Day for you featuring some quick nail art I did with a couple of the newer shades from piCture pOlish: Eerie and Blue Dog.

Eerie and Blue Dog Nail Art

I thought they went so well together so I did a quick toothpick marble on the middle and ring fingers. And each of them is so pretty alone that I did Blue Dog on the index and Eerie on the pinkie.

I will have full swatches of each of these shades for you tonight!

Indirect natural lighting...

Just wait until you see these beauties on their own!

Nail of the Day: Yep - Another Toothpick Marble!

Nothing to Disclose

♥

I posted on IG last night that people were going to start thinking I got a deal on bulk toothpicks! But I posted with no top coat or clean-up so here's the final look for today.

Toothpick Marble Nail Art

I'm wearing camel capris and a navy blouse so I'm being all matchy-matchy today.

I used Nails Inc. Southwark and Nails Inc. Caramel on top of bare nails with one coat of top coat. Smeared the pinkie a bit, but you can't really tell at arm's length.

Have you tried this technique yet?

Poptastic Toothpick Marble Nail Art Photo Tutorial

Tutorial

♥

Warning! Danger, Will Robinson! I don't typically do a lot of tutorials, but I've had so many requests for a tutorial on the Poptastic Toothpick Marble I did yesterday that I couldn't refuse. Just be warned. Tutorials aren't my forté.

This is the mani...

So I've put together a quick photo tutorial for you. This one is similar to the one I did for Nail It Magazine but also different.

With that one, you just use 3 shades and drag the toothpick back and forth across the nail.

With this one, there are 6 shades, concentrated to one side of the nail and you only drag the toothpick in one direction.

Here's what I used - the Color Club Poptastic Summer 2014 Collection...

It looks a bit messy but as it dries it settles in nicely and then you top coat it (once it's fairly dry) and it's smooth! Well it's smooth if you don't get too much polish on like I did in the example.

EDITED TO ADD: I don't actually touch the brush to the polish below it. I sort of "hover" and let it flow. I think once I accidentally touched and I just wiped the brush off quickly on a paper towel.

That's my right hand in the last photo and it turned out better on that one than on my left. And I'm right-handed! Lots of times with nail art, I'll do my left hand and then on my right use the same base color and only do a matching accent nail. The exceptions are the toothpick marble and the gradient. Because those are so easy!

Have you tried this method yet?
