Monarch Nails - the process, part 2
Starting with freshly polished nails, we proceed to taping our fingers to prevent a messy cleanup later. Create a gradient on each nail with a makeup sponge. From there, water marble over the gradient with black and sheer colors. Add white dots on top of the black to create a butterfly-esque design!

Here is a preview of a monarch-inspired watermarble. (Concept inspired from ProfessionalIDQ’s tutorial here.) This is in sunlight on my cameraphone, but I’ll have some more photos for you soon from my regular camera! This process was pretty significant, so I’m not going to list all the details. I will have photos of all the colors I used, so you have an idea of what happened!
Please pardon my janky cuticles When I was adding rhinestones, I got the glue everywhere! They have been peeling a bit due to that. :(

Are you in the Denver area. We are trying to gather some corgi owners for a meetup. - Karla
Asked by: krwebb
We aren’t just in the Denver area… we are right downtown! We’d love to meetup with other dogs of tumblr sometime.
There is a Corgi Meetup in Littleton. I don’t think they’ve met in Denver yet, but they seem open to other locations. Might be something to consider. :)
