Fingernail polish! Yes! I have some issues with nail polish, so I rarely wear it. I have some bottles that have been lonely in a dark closet. But the colors are so pretty, and the glitter is in a form I can live with - bunnehs do not look good in glitter!
So I created a new technique using nail polish, water, a stir stick, and plain cardstock. We've named this Nail Polish Marbling. Here are some finished panels awaiting turning into projects.
I also made you a little video to show you how I made these. I want to thank SCS for allowing me to share this technique - so please hop on over to the technique page and gallery. I'd be extra happy, like a chicken with a June bug, if you tried the technique and shared your work!
Here are my 2 finished projects. If these strong colored panels are frightening to you, just treat them like monsters and cut them up! Cut strips, paper piece, use your dies - when you do any of these actions, that paper can cover a full set of cards.

Now, go play and have fun! It's only paper!

Oh for some play time!!! We have to go on a trip this weekend and we kist discovered that our hot weater heater has been leaking for some time. Our house is in chaos so I will have to wait until sometinme late next week but I can't wait to give this a try. I saw your video over at SCS this morning!! Your backgrounds are stunning and I just love the SU! stamp set you used. It's one of my favorites!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous video. I love this technique. Problem is I only have a limited supply of polish. Growing up any color other than clear or pale pink and my dad would say "you look like a Jezebell" that stuck with me and I only have bought mostly subtle polish. I do however have some black and hold that I bought for craft projects. I will have to make something with those. Thank you for the time and effort you did in making this video.
