NOTD: Blue & Silver Water Marble + Tutorial - My Birthday Mani =)

So, what fabulousness graced my nails Wednesday for my 29th?  A water marble with Wet 'n' Wild Blue Moon + Milani HD:

My favorite nails were my right ring & thumb, and my left middle.  If I did this particular design again, I might stick to doing one finger at a time, just because then it's easier to dip my finger straight into the design, exactly where I want it.  The right ring was really the only one that came out completely straight.  I feel kind of like I get more bubbling when I dip 2 fingers at the same time also.

Here is the tutorial:

& what did I do for my birthday you may be wondering?  Well, nothing too special actually.  I went to work, which wasn't too bad because I got treats & got sung to, then I came home & relaxed, Mom made enchilada casserole for dinner, and I watched So You Think You Can Dance LOL.  Pretty uneventful.

I went out and ran a few errands today, several of which involved polish LOL.  I'm counting that as gifts from me to me - and there will be  haul post coming - but my real gift to myself is going to be a new digital video recorder, and I still need to learn a little more before I pick out & purchase one of those...  If anyone has any insight or suggestions, I'm all ears. I told myself I need to hurry up & make my decision, so I'm going to be looking at specs & reviews & such this weekend.

One more pic - the Stargazer Lillies are in bloom, I couldn't resist taking a shot:

Thanks for reading =)
