I see all these cool water marbling nails in blogs and on youtube it makes me want to give it a try.  Didn’t really turn out as I expected to.  It took a lot of polish and time just to do one nail.  Also a waste of tape.  And the polish didn’t spread out as much as I hope it did.  And the designs didn’t look as nice as the ones online.  Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to practice more.

Steps I used:

#1) Below are random polishes I picked that I thought would look nice together.

#2) Setup a cup of water in room temperature.  (Used both regular tap and bottled water – Didn’t see a difference)

#3)  Tape finger for easy clean up.

#4) Paint your nail with a white polish.

#5)  Dropped the different polishes into the water.  After all the polishes is added, use a pin or an orange stick and make your design.

#5) After the design has been created dip your nail into the cup.  Get rid of the extra polish and pull our your nail.  Rip off the tap and enjoy your nail art. 

So what you think?  Enjoy!
