This was originally going to be blue & gold with Orly Luxe, but the colors just weren't cooperating for me so I opened one of my untried shoe boxes & came up with a green. The final result ended up reminding me of like seaweed or kelp. I used Icing 7th Inning Streth & Jens Pick for this Water Marble:
Here's the tutorial:
I didn't get as much done this weekend as I planned, but I am at least back up to date with my NOTDs. Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeletehey Colette i have been trying the marbling thing out but i seem to get water bubbles alot is there a good way to prevent this?? also my colors seem really dull is it the white i use?? thanks Tina
ReplyDeletep.s ur designs are the best out there
JESUSNSARA - My 3 main tips to prevent bubbles would be: make sure there are none in the polish before you dip you nail (you can pop those), dip in & out slowly, and make sure to get rid of any water drops on your nail - if they won't drip off, you can use the corner of a paper towel to absorb them.
ReplyDeleteIf the colors are dull it might be your base if it is not a completely opaque white, or might just be the colors themselves.
Thanks so much Colette i am practicing my butt off to get it 100 % right!! thanks for all the great advice and tutorials
ReplyDeleteJESUSNSARA - Practice makes perfect =) Feel free to ask if you have any other questions, sometimes I get really behind but I always try to go back & answer every one.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous! I love your choice of colors and the flower design you did!
ReplyDeletewhen i use the different brand of polish, colors seem not spread well...what shall i do???
ReplyDeleteI use metallic gold (Luke) from orly and red (Big apple red) OPI.
Thanks
