Nail-Aween Challenge Day 4: Mummy Nails (Quick & Dirty Style)

I realized that today is October 15, and I've only completed 3 days of my 10-day challenge. I was feeling the pressure, so I figured I'd do my mummy nails today. Problem is that I can't wear them tomorrow for work, so I knew they were only for today. This may have affected my desire to pay close attention to detail...

I saw THIS YouTube tutorial by Simple Little Pleasures for a mummy water marble, so it was right up my alley. So I started with a base of China Glaze "Kalahari Kiss":

This is 2 lovely coats.

Then I did the water marble using Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" and "Nirvana" along with the CG "Kalahari Kiss". Then added a black mask with my striper, and dotted on eyes (my son told me mummies have red eyes):

Meh. There were lots of air bubbles, and my thumb really had issues! I like the middle finger & thumb the best, though. I think if I would have spent more time on the marble design, this could have been really cool so I'll have to try it again. I just don't have the motivation for a do-over today, since I still have to do my nails again before work tomorrow :-/
