Guest NOTD: Blue. Brown & White Water Marble + Tutorial

Didn't quite get this up last night, so I'm throwing it up quick this morning before I go to work!
 
So, I decided to give my mom a water marble again this year for her birthday.  Started out with a base of Sally Hansen White On, marbling done with White On, Nubar Swiss Chocolate & BB Couture Adios Mo Fo:
 

And since I get so many questions about whether you can marble on short nails, I did a tutorial for it also:
 
 
Thanks for reading =)

    Your water marbles are always excellent. I love seeing them on short nails because it reminds me that a water marble can look fabulous on every nail. :)

    Your water marbles are amazing! Would I be able to do one and mix the colors with a toothpick rather than an orange stick?

    I was finally about to do a successful water marble! Yay for me :) I used metallic colors to make it look like an oil slick on the water. Check it out :
