The base is LA Colors Illusion. It really is an illusion as I promise I didn't really use purple in a yellow/peach prompt, honest! ;) Then while the polish was still wet, I added blobs of LA Colors French White and Hottie along with Models Own Lemon Meringue. I used a fine detail brush to drag the wet polish into marble patterns and allowed to dry for a good while before finishing with Seche Vite.
I was so happy to have got this technique right finally that I did two sets, one in the GOT colours (ignore the glaring misuse of purple - but it needed a background colour to make the yellow/peach work, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!), and another in coffee and chocolate similar to the ones in Robin's video. Here is a sneaky peak at my yummy "mocha coffee chocolate frappuccino" version:
I'm off to do some more of this, playing around with the vast array of colour combinations alone are enough to keep me going for weeks, so expect to see a few of these. I've also spotted a tutorial on how to do flowers in this style - I am all over that!
Tomorrow's prompt for the 31DC is "Mint" and I have something fun lined up for that one! Until then, follow the Inlinkz for all the other GOT manis :)

Oh, gorgeous !!
ReplyDeleteI die. Any time I try Robin's technique for marbling, I just make a mess that has to be covered with stamping or glitter or rhinestones. :) Both of these are beautiful! Love the flamey FX on the yellow/peach and the coffee? *drool*
ReplyDeleteEvery time I had done it before it went horribly wrong. or some reason something clicked this time! Somebody needs to stop me though because its pretty much all I want to do now! :)
DeleteLOVE this, it looks like a glass vase or something :) and lemon Meringue was my yellow too, great minds ;) x
ReplyDeleteGreat minds indeed! Its such a great yellow to work with as its not too "in your face". :) xx
Deletewow, totally amazing! I am definitely going to try out that technique and hope that it looks as good as yours :) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily - make sure you share it when you do - would love to see :) xx
