Marble Marble, Losing my Marbles

Finals week is coming up! And I have'nt secured my permit yet :(, and since there's this end of term inspection by the Office of students affairs, I took off my polish 3 DAYS AGO! I usually give my nails a day or two to let them breathe but 4 days is murder. I just have this urge to put polish them like crazy :(

Lifeless. I'm not using any nail strengtheners or whiteners at the moment. And I'm too lazy for a calamansi/lime wash.

As for Marbling, 3 failed attempts aren't going to stop me... albeit it could postpone it for a while =P

Here's a photo of my first marbling attempt.

It Bleeds!

Presenting my favorite polish! Elianto Grapewine! It has a really runny consistency (which I hate -__-)  and after 3 coats, dries into a thick blood red color (which I simply Lurve! ^_^).

One problem though... IT BLEEDS, through white polish. I don't know if its the Grapewine or white Art Deco polish I topped it with, but this was my last week's do...

A few minutes later:

The white lines turned pink! :(

I did change the whole icky mess and used Bobbie's Blue Flash as a base color.

(P.S. I was making 'Connected' Paperdolls for little sis :D)
