Manicure Monday (18): Gameboard of the Gods

Hi and welcome to another installment of Manicure Monday. The idea is easy – show off your current read with your current manicure. You can be creative and match your book to your mani or just show off the newest color on your digits. I love book and nail polish and encourage flaunting both.

It’s good to be back this week. I was in Ojai last Monday so I skipped MM last week. But I am glad to be back and I have a fun manicure to show off today.

This week’s book is Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead. I am only about 3% into this right now but it’s promising so far. Here is the full cover.

And my nails

Since this book had all kinds of swirling action going on, I decided to try my hand at water marbling. There are a ton of tutorials and videos that show you how to do a water marble so I am not going to get into that. I was a little scared to do this since people sometimes say it’s super hard. However, it really wasn’t that bad. I think I need some practice to get more consistent results. I mean, you can see little smears and air bubbles. But I think I did alright for a first try. I think my favorite finger was my thumb though.
