Some of you may remember from my 25 Random Things about Me, that I'm Chilean, Finnish, Italian and Irish. It's quite the mix and I'm glad I didn't have to think too hard about what flag I wanted to be inspired by. I decided to pay homage to the country of my dad's birth by doing a water marbled mani inspired by the Chilean flag. I ended up doing a literal flag instead and the water marble didn't turn out quite as I hoped, but it's there if you look real close - I water marbled the red and the blue, which you can't see very well!! CHI-CHI-CHI-LE-LE-LE-VIVA-CHILE!!!
This is another one of those, used too many colors to keep track of - it doesn't look like it, but I did :)

ReplyDeleteThanks girl!! It was actually a lot easier for me to do than doing my whe nail, no pressure to get cool patterns on such a big surface, this way was smaller so who cares if I can get the whole pattern....
