As I said, the pink just kind of rubbed me the wrong way ... so I went for my "safety" color of purple & did another water marble as my NOTD on Wednesday. I started out with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Forever Lilac, which is a very pink lavender:
I wanted this color to show up more in the final design than it did ... I used Forever Lilac & also Sally Hansen Flair & Sally Hansen Spark for the water marbling. My favorite, the one that embodies my original design best, is my right index finger =) ... which was right next to the disaster of my right middle LOL, I don't know how that design got quite that messy. Anyway, here are the pics:
And here's how I did it:
Seems like lately when I start playing with water marbles, they come in 3's - I hope to have pics & video for my current NOTD - a shades of green water marble - edited for posting tomorrow. Until then, thanks for reading.

ReplyDeletethis is extremely beautiful i m a beginner in this i need to ask will any nail polish will work for this as i tried with my nornal nail polish but couldnt succeed. Please help me.
oh my goodness, ive never W A N T E D my nails painted until i saw your tutorials. beautiful work! i hope there is a halloween one ;)
ReplyDeleteJust a question. What brand(s) of polish do you recommend for water marbling? Does any certain brand(s) tend to work better than others?
ReplyDeletehi, i was wondering why when i try it, it wont work on the second layer, the second layer wont spread, im using elianto nail polish.
ReplyDeleteDEE - there really isn't a best brand, every color is different in the water & it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well – the colors I use are always listed in the information box. You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying =) also are you using filtered water?
ReplyDeleteWORDS FOR THOUGHTS - sometimes even colors that each spread on their own don't work well together - you just have to keep trying different colors & different combinations =)
Just want to know about how long does it take for you to complete both hands. How long have you been doing this?
