NOTD: Ocean Waves Marble

Well, here we go, I think my favorite of my 3 water marbles this week.  An early contender for my top 20 of 2010 =) 

I used the same design technique as I demonstrate in THIS tutorial, but the colors I used for this version are holos from the China Glaze OMG collection, DV8 (teal) & L8R G8R (green).  For my base color I used Color Club French Tip, which is just a basic white that is nice because it is practically opaque in one coat.  I swirled the colors clockwise for one hand, and counterclockwise on the other:





 



This reminds me of ocean waves, very peaceful =)  I also did just a quick test with Matte Magic before I took it off, on the ring & pinky fingers:



So, what do you think - which of this week's marbles was your favorite?  Leave a comment or drop an email & let me know =)  Thanks for reading.

    This is one of the most gorgeous manicures I've ever seen. My problem would be that I'd never want to take it off! :)

    The phrase that popped into my head after looking at this water marble: TIE-DYE MERMAID.

    (It's a compliment, I swear!)

    OMG, you've outdone yourself!!!! I love the wave pattern so so much. You have the magic touch.

    This would be my favorite of your marbling. Others which I love in order are:
    Flower burst with China Glaze Omg
    Pink drag with China Glaze Heli-Yum & Sugar High
    Loreal Passport to Paradise

    The St Patrick's day white & green is very cool too ^_^

    I think your nails are beautiful, they're enchanting and memorizing. I wish I had such talent, or could find such talent to accopmlish this level of beauty.

    Two thumbs up (if I had more thumbs, they'd be up) ;)

    I think that ocean waves would look great with an Aquamarine ring.
