I was anxious to try out Shine Of The Times, and the picture just does not do it justice!  I wanted to do something besides the usual matte over flakies mani.  Simple, but mixes it up a bit.

Colors used: 

Hard Candy - Frenzy, Matte-ly In Love

Essie - Shine Of The Times

I wanted to try out my new Hard Candy polish for marbling, and it spread very well in the water, but the whole process was incredibly frustrating.  Now that the weather is just colder in general, the polish was drying incredibly fast in the water, and the designs weren’t coming out how I wanted.  Not to mention it was extremely messy, which is, for the most part, very uncommon for me.  I mattified it because it looked better that way than it did shiny.  And then of course, I smudged a finger immediately after putting matte top coat. Anyways, done ranting and raving. Lol.

I mattified my water marble from yesterday with Essie’s Matte About You.  I was curious to see what it looked like, and just generally love the effect of Matte top coats!
