These look awesome! I paint my nails all the time and I have about 50 different nail polishes. My favourite is OPI Muppets collection ones. I very much recommend them, they look amazing and so sparkley!

[MSKing]

I am so in love with all the pretty colors! I have about 30 bottles of nail polish, but I haven't really painted my nails fancily in years. (and I usually just did each nail in a different color *cough*) Now I definitely want to try the monarch butterfly pattern.  At the least. ^^

Water marbling is awesome! Is it hard to do? My nails are super long, so I should do more art on them!

[Shaiyeh]

nooo it's really simple IMO, skyrocketneko!
a tip, though, is to have a white base paint (or any other colour of choice) istead of just a clear basecoat on your nails before marbling. brings out the colour better :>
my first marbling above did not have a white base (but I used white polish in the marbling), while the second did.

I always get those little bubbles though- >-<

I hardly ever paint my nails... I think they look weird and they are always breaking. I'm thinking of going to get a manicure soon to maybe find the right shape for them, then it'd be a bit easier to keep up with painting them maybe.

Also, I work a physical job in the summer, so nails usually don't look nice for long :p though maybe if I load up on the top coat I can have the nicest nails this summer!

I usually keep my toenails painted all summer. Hooray for sandals! (When I'm not at work that is)

Mayby like i said before, a acrylic layer on top of your own nails to make them stronger and in a better shape!

Wow, some of these are fabulous! I enjoy having painted nails but it can be tricky to get the perfect opportunity to sit down and do them. One of my favorite things is painting them black and putting silver sparkles over top. Simple, but so pretty.

I've never tried anything much more detailed than that but these pictures are really making me want to...do you guys use those nail polish pens they sell now to make some of these? I've been thinking of buying one so I can try something a little more intricate...

[ZennaBug]

I love painting my nails, though I rarely do anything fancy.  When I was younger, I would use a toothpick to paint something special on my thumbs for holidays, but I don't really do that much anymore.  My next project is this:

Nope, I use normal polishes, and then the occasional stamping. (as in Konad stamping, just that I don't own konad, it's a cheap german knockoff)


Zenna - ooh gorgeous! Try China Glaze's matte overcoat for that. I have it, and luuuurve it.
Hey, that just about might be my next project, too. :>

[Lady.Arachnia]

Owh the black matte is gorgeous!!

[Shaiyeh]

I tried what zenna posted, but in pink and added little bows.
(once again not really cleaned up yet. when will I ever learn >_>)

basecoat, 3 coats of HM's "I'm A Saint", 2 coats China Glaze Matte Magic + the base coat (actually worked) for the gloss, and NYC String Of Pearls for teh bow.

these are cool . i had yin-yang nails about two years ago.. but sadly i don't have any pics .. :-/

So I tried the matte nail with shiny tip on a dark pink color and it looked neat, but very subtle.  I tried it with several other colors too and it definitely works best on the dark colors.  So once I strip my nails from their Valentine's paint, I'll be trying it again with the black.  Because of all my tests, that one worked the best.
