NOTD: Tronica Water Marble #2 (Easter Pastels) + Matte Magic & Tutorial

First a side note - just finished watching American Idol - anyone have a guess on what Jennifer Lopez had on her nails?  I was editing pics & stuff so I only caught a couple of good looks but it was sparkly purple and seemed like it matched her dress almost exactly, very pretty glitter.  There should be a website all about what people on TV have on their nails LOL I swear I would check it all the time because I often find myself wondering.

On to the nails =)  This is the second water marble that I've done with colors from the China Glaze Tronica collection, and as much as I loved the first one, I love this one more!  Base was Wet 'n' Wild French White again, marbling done with Electra Magenta, High Def, & Laser Lime:


I intended the design to be straight on for all of them, but especially dipping 2 nails at a time I didn't quite manage it.  Favorite nails are left middle, index & thumb - and one of the most crooked LOL, right ring:


I'd had it on for 2 days already, so for tomorrow the 3rd day I added Matte Magic when I came home from work:


Here is the tutorial:


More Easter tutorials coming =)  Thanks for reading.

    You inspire me! I have been a follower for a few months and I think ive seen all of your water marbling tutorials. I have finally taken the plunge and finished my first water marble mani!! Not even close to as perfect as yours, but I am very happy with the result (particularly from far away) I just wanted to thank you for all of the tips, tricks and inspiration!!! :)))
