Valentines Day French Tip Drag Marble with Hearts Nail Art Tutorial + announcement

-
Good day everybody! Valentines Day is soooo close. It came ridiculously fast, don't you think? Now, of course, today is another Valentines post, but that aside from that I have some very exciting news! From today onwards I will be posting nail art tutorial videos and live application swatches on my Instagram! Wow! Innit that something? In fact, I will be posting a video for this very tutorial, which, by the way, I think I should probably get into now that you now the news!


Hearts again! I heart hearts, do you heart hearts? Err, well enough with the silly jokes, I'ma tell you what you need to do these nails! For the drag marble, you will need a  nail art brush, a coral or pink polish and then a red polish. I used Revlon Red by Revlon and Cute Coral from Maxfactor. You are gonna wanna keep your nail polish bottles open, because as you probably know, you need to work fast with drag marbles or else the polish is gonna dry and will no longer be workable. With that in mind I will move on to step 1!



First off, with the coral polish, create a french tip using the brush from your nail polish bottle. Try and make this layer thick so that it is easier to work with. Speed of the essence, so move on to the next step ASAP!



Next, with your red polish, use the brush to add two small drops of red polish into the coral polish, and remember, move on to the next step with the speed of light!


To finish the drag marble, use your nail art brush to swirl the colours together and make a pretty design. If you aren't happy with the colour ratio or design, add more of your desired colours and swirl them together. By, the way guys, you do not need to move on to the next step quickly, coz we are gonna let this dry!


Once your drag marble is dry, take a nail art brush and some gold polish and create a heart on the french tip. To make a heart, just draw a v shape and make the tips round!


That's all for this tutorial! I think these are really pretty lookin'. I have done drag marble nails before on this blog, but never a drag marble nail art tutorial, so I hope that you guys liked it! I think that drag marbles are really simple and that they can be used in some really fun, unique and creative ways, so I encourage you guys to experiment! What do you guys think? Do you like drag marble nails? How have you done drag marbles in the past? What will you have on your nails for Valentines Day? Let me know right here in the comments section or on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog)! Also, if you wanna see this tutorial in action, you can find the video on my Instagram!
May your nails be good!

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before ...
