X'Mas Mani 02 - Sweet Candy Canes

Welcome back to X'Mas Manis!

This time I decided on candy canes!

I wish I had one now...

As you can see I did some water marbling for this design!

This is the second time I've attempted water marbling 

and am quite proud of myself right now =)

I got the idea after a friend of mine posted 

a tutorial by cutepolish on my facebook!

I thought candy canes were the perfect excuse to do it 

but it didn't come out as I wanted but still AWESOME! XD

I painted a coat of OPI's Alpine Snow on all my nails beforehand.

I used Sally Hansen's Emerald Green and Elianto's Chili Red to do the marbling.

For the other nails, I painted a coat of Sasatine's G683 for the x'mas glitter! 

Then I painted the stripes using the same colours for the marbling!

I had to do the marbling a few times before I got a pattern I liked! 

Marbling is hard...I guess that means I need more practice! =P

What design shall I attempt next?

Keep following and find out!

Cheers!

Kiwi Green

I had an interview today to be a brand ambassador and one of the brands was

SALLY HANSEN!

So I especially used Sally Hansen for this mani! 

Say Hello to Kiwi Nails!! XD

The only Sally Hansen polishes I had were green...

I used Sally Hansen's Green with Envy for the base. 

You can see the swatches here.

The white is OPI's Alpine Snow. The darker green colour beneath the black polish is Sally Hansen's Emerald City and I used OPI's I Only Date Werewolves.

I actually got the idea for this from a post in tumblr...

After google-ing the photo I found that the original post is from cutepolish.

You can check out her Kiwi blog post or 

check out her tutorial on how to paint it!

I did mine a bit differently but it managed to look kiwi enough 

for my friends and family! ^^

I'll be attempting the 12 days of X'Mas Challenge 

so look out for X'Mas manis!!

Cheers!
