Manicure Clean Up - Alternative to Liquid Palisade

Cleaning up after your mani, especially when stamping, sponging or water marbling can be an epic task especially if the polish stains your cuticles.  I've seen the product Liquid Palisade which is readily accessible in the US but not so much the UK and in my opinion a bit pricey, but I picked up a really good tip from a lady on a Facebook nail page as an alternative using hair glue.  So I looked on Ebay, found hair bonding glue for under £1.50 for a 30ml bottle and thought if it doesn't work I haven't really lost anything.  Well I'm so glad I did, it works in the same way as liquid palisade (not that I've actually tried it, only going on what I've seen), except you have to supply your own brush.  It's easy, quick and can mean virtually no clean up at all - wooohoo.  So impressed I've made a little YouTube vid and step by step photo demo below.  It works for me and I'm happy with the results, plenty more stamping & sponging fun to be had without the faff of cleaning up and using less nail polish remover and cotton wool pads.

To the pics & vid!

I bought this hair bonding glue from Ebay here

I squeezed out a small blob onto a sheet of paper and using a fine brush painted around my nail & cuticle and allowed to dry for 5-10 minutes

Added my stamping

 

 And then immediately peeled off the glue with tweezers

No further clean up was required

I'd like to thank the nail lady who shared her idea on Facebook.

No Dip Pink Water Marbling

I love the water marble effect and watch the YouTube clips over and over again.  From the build up of the bullseye, the designs, colours, you name it I'm mesmerised by it.  But I can't seem to get on with it.  If I can eventually make the nail polishes spread in water I either mess up the design or find the dipping of your nails onto the marble design a disaster.  And then you've got the whole taping up of your nails and the clean up afterwards.  So while watching oodles of YouTube clips and getting tips from fellow nail bloggers I've come across the technique of letting the water marble dry in the water, then lifting the dried marbled polish out, laying on a sheet of plastic, cutting and sticking.  I'll try to explain better with the use of photos.

Build up your bulls eye and create your design and leave to dry for approx 30 mins

Detach any parts of the marble stuck to the side of the cup, then lift out with tweezers and  place on a sheet of plastic to dry and keep flat.  I had a magazine delivered by post which came in a plastic sleeve and that's what I used for my plastic sheet

Once dried out you can pick up the marbled polish with your fingers and cut out the sections you want to add to your nails.  The good thing with this method is you can eye up where you want the design to go on your nail and there's less wastage.  I used this one piece of marble for a whole hand.

Paint your nails with your desired base colour, I used the mid pink colour and allowed to dry.  Then add your top coat and allow to go tacky before adding the marble, clean up and add another top coat.

I'm really thrilled with my results using this method for the first time. I would never have got this with dipping my fingers into the marble on water.  This is deffo the way forward for me with water marbling.  In fact I've made 2 more marble desigs which are currently drying and can't wait to get them on!

These are the polishes I used, La Femme, Beauty UK & Nella Milano.
