NOTD: Girl on Fire Water Marble + Tutorial

This was my favorite design from Water Marble March, and I did in fact have it on my nails when I went to see the movie =)  & if you somehow still have not heard about the Hunger Games ... well, what rock have you been under LOL?

I started this manicure with a base of Orly Crush on You with a coat of the glitter Icing Pumpkin on top.  Since the colors I marbled with were mostly jellies, the glitter sparkled through a little & really brought the fire to life.  Marbling is done with Crush on You as well as Orly Ma Cherie & Liquid Vinyl - somehow although I had this on for around a week it appears I didn't get any natural lamp pictures but I think the rest do it pretty good justice:


Favorite flame-like nails:


And of course here is the tutorial:



Did you see the movie & have you read the books?  I try not to think too much about the next movie because it's so far off, but really I can't wait!

Thanks for reading.

    Nice fall inspiration. My water marbles never came out this good! Mine look like something my PS-K Sunday school kids draw!

    This manicure is fabulous! It reminds me a little of painted hotrod flames, which I love! Just love the glitter underneath the watermarble!

    This is amazing! So, I found one of your tutorials through pinterest and wanted to try it. I don't have expensive polish, but it's also pretty old...and when I dropped it in (it took forever for it to drop because it's thick) it didn't spread, once it even just sunk to the bottom in a glob! I'm thinking I just need to buy some new polish and try again. But would you suggest anything else?

    Wow, your nails are gorgeous! And I LOVE the Hunger Games too!!! I'm just getting into nail polish, and I'm hoping to be able to do something 'arty' with my nails for the second movie. Thanks for this tutorial, I'm going to start practicing now! :)
