This water marble has, for some reason, become one of my most popular on YouTube. I swear I can not figure out what will be a breakout hit - some of my most favorite are only middling performers, others that I didn't think anything special draw in millions of views. The next-highest vid from Water Marble March (which is the Four Leaf Clover marble, if you're interested) only has a bit over 300k views while this one is at 1.2 million & going strong. Not that I'm complaining, mind, but my favorite from that month was hands down my my Girl on Fire marble (which is 2 manicures down the road, so you will see it soon!) & it hasn't even hit 200k. More proof, if any was necessary, that I guess my style does not always line up with everyone else's style =) & that's perfectly fine LOL.
Anyway - on to the actual manicure. Base color is China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, marbling done with HGL & China Glaze Liquid Leather:
I know some people find the stripe design just a bit tricky - it's really very similar to chevrons, but very tight & instead of drawing straight across you want to go just a bit backward & this should help to straighten out the lines if that makes sense.
Here's the tutorial:
Still 3 more manicures from Water Marble March ... and then we'll be moving on to Nail Art April, which started with another water marble LOL.
Thanks for reading.

This is SO awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi... I was watching your videos on YouTube and decided to try out the water marble. It turned out like a disaster; and I was wondering if you needed specific types of polish to make it spread correctly. I have my own blog @ arttori.blogspot.com, you can reply there if you please.
ReplyDeleteThanks...
When you first started it look like lips with black polish. Lol! Turned out awesome Colette :)
ReplyDeleteLove it Colette! I'm definitely going to try this one out!
