I just think it looks like the kind of pattern you would see on silk and that reminds me of Geisha’s.

I really like this manicure. It was very spur of the moment. I painted my nails this gorgeous Berry Pink base colour which for some reason I’ve never used before, then just decided to keep adding to it!

In other news, it’s been a while since I started stashing goodies for my next giveaway and I will give you a sneak peek at them today. I think I will start the giveaway to celebrate 300 followers. As with the last giveaway, anyone who is a follower before the giveaway opens will get an extra entry when they put their name down!
I have been meaning to try marbling for ages and was reminded by Marina a few days ago. My first attempt didn’t go very well. I ended up with lumps and bumps everywhere and more of a clumping than marbling effect. I think it’s because I dunked my fingers in, then pulled them back out without remving the excess which then also stuck to my nail.
I used:
L’Oreal LacquiResist – Bebe Blue
and two old Collection 2000 polishes in a red and pink colour.
