NOTD: PHD Color Accent Challenge Entry (Black, White & Pink Water Marble + Tutorial)

Polish Hoarder Disorder's challenge this week was Color Accent, to create a greyscale manicure with a pop of a single color.  You can check out the Challenge Gallery HERE.

I decided early on, after she suggested it, that I'd do a marble with black & white.  It took a while to decide on the color but I finally settled on pink.  I was going to use Sally Hansen Byte, but it wasn't cooperating, so I slapped that on my toes & used Wet 'n' Wild Lust.  The black & white are Sally Hansen, Black Out & White On.  My favorite nails are left middle, and right pointer & thumb:


I'd like to do this design again once my nails grow out again.  Here's the tutorial:



Hope you guys like it =)  Thanks for watching.

    I almost chose pink as well lol. I'm glad I didn't. Great job! They are beautiful! You are just such an expert at marbling. I need to do it more so that it's easier and get the design techniques down. But, I'm not so horrible lol.

    And omg your nails are still long! They look great. My right hand is not fairing as well but I think my nails are around your current length. I think that is about as long as I'm gonna go. It's getting hard for me to type fast lol.
