NOTD: Ocean Waves Water Marble (Version 2.0)

Wow am I behind ... I almost feel like I've been keeping this from you guys LOL, this was my NOTD a full week ago.  Those of you who subscribe to me on YT may already have seen the tutorial, which I uploaded at that time for my 1 year YT anniversary =)  I used to think video editing would be hard, but honestly it's easier than editing pics at this point!  I usually only have 1 or 2 options to pick from, pop them into Movie Maker - as opposed to a blog post where I not only have to wade through way more pics, I have to write something coherent to go along with!

I received a lot of requests for a tutorial for this design after it appeared in my January NOTD Slideshow.  It was also one of my own favorite designs, and I honestly don't know why I didn't record it at the time - but I finally got around to redoing it.  I still love it - but I actually think I may like the original more LOL.  The polish was really just not cooperating as well, the swirling didn't end up quite like I wanted to ... but I still love it.  Base was Wet 'n' Wild French White, marbling done with China Glaze L8R G8R & DV8:


Favorite nails left to right are left index, left thumb, right thumb:


And here's the tutorial:



Thanks for reading =)

  1. Hi, Colette!

    This is so pretty. I think it looks more like the earth from above. Gorgeous!

    Are you ready for Thanksgiving? I am actually looking forward to seeing some wintery and dare I say Christmassy water marbles! Candy canes?

    Peace~

  2. Oh my! This seriously blew me away! It's so gorgeous!

    I was shocked that it turned out so well. I thought it'd be a messy little process but you make it look so easy! I think I will try it.

    So, all you're using here is water, polish and tape right?

    Love it!
