Water marbling isn't something I am very good at. I managed to use the yellow to create a bit of a swirl pattern then added dots in red, orange, green, blue and purple.

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Strawberries

Today I have a redo of some nails I did back in 2011. I still have room for improvement.

I think I have improved on my hand pose, so now you can actually see my nails!

These were freehand strawberries which I first attempted in 2011. I would have it a guess that the base is ELF Light Red and both the yellow and green are nail art pens I got around that time.

And these from today, I used a dotting tool and a small paint brush for the details.

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Nautical Theme

I haven't done a then and now throwback nails for a while. It is interesting to look back at how much I have learned and improved upon over the past seven years of nail blogging.

Back in 2011 I did these nautical themed nails, looking at these I am pretty sure I freehanded the stripes as well as the anchors. Also these are that old I can't find the blog post I shared them in because I didn't tag things in a coherent way then!

Base Polish: Models Own - True Blue

Today I used striping tape to create a more straight line, although the top coat dragging is very frustrating! I also stamped both the the anchors rather than freehanding them.
