St. Patrick's Day Water Marble

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I decided to try this awesome clover water marble design I saw on YouTube, made by the water marble expert Simple Little Pleasures.
This is the second design I did for  St. Patrick's Day. The first one was a total fail. I had a bit longer nails when I did it, and the green I picked didn't look as nice as I thought it would. Then the stamping I did was quite unattractive and I decided it was too aweful to post this fail mani on the blog, so I did a new one today.
Even though green is one of my least favorite colors, this design came out pretty nice! I think I like it :) My marbling skills are not super, and the design isn't perfect like the original, but still - it's cute. Iove the combination of these two colors and the clover on the middle finger came out pretty nice.

For the base I applied two coats of Beauty Care 14 which is a bright lime green, and for the marble I used the same color along with Skinfood Mocha Gold. Once dried, I applied one coat of Poshe.
So what do you think about this design? Are you having issues with green colors as well? :)

    1. Thank you so much! :D I'm really not that good lol.
      This polish I have is not opaque enough for stamping. If you are looking for a good gold polish for stamping I recommend Barry M Gold Foil or the Essie Mirror collection.
