St Patty's Day nails!

I wanted to do something creative with greens for St Patrick's Day. After a quick trip to Ulta, I had what I needed!




Then I just used things I found in my kitchen! Small plastic bowl, skewer stick and water! I used the 'Water Marbeling' technique.









The completed product on my nails came out like this:






I love how each nail has a different pattern. I've seen a lot of people go for the same design on each nail. But I think it's fun to have each one be unique!
And yes, I know there is a mess of polish on my skin around my nails. Which leads me to this quick review of Sally Hansen's 'No More Mistakes' manicure clean-up pen...







I didn't take a picture of the pen itself because I didn't feel like digging it out of the trash can. I bought this thinking it was a fantastic idea. And I still think it is. But when I got it home and tried to use it, it was dry. I read the directions and it said just uncap the pen and rub lightly to remove polish mistakes. There was no nail polish remover in the pen! It was bone-dry!! I thought I could pour a little of my own polish remover into the pen and just put the end back on it and use it that way. FAIL! I did that and stuck the tip back on it but once I flipped it back over, the polish remover flowed out. I tried shoving the tip in tighter, but it was in as far as it'd go. I used what little was left on the tip on one finger, and then it was dry again and not working. $5 wasted on this piece of garbage!
My advice: just dip q-tips in polish remover and do it that way. Don't waste your money on this stupid thing.
Now i'm off to go put my q-tip method to use. What I can't get off with the q-tips will come off when I do dishes and shower!
