Water marble
nails…where do I even begin? Water marble nails have been the bane of my nail
painting life. I tried so many times
and every.single.time it went wrong. I tried different colours, different
polish brands, different water temperatures but no matter what I did the
results were patchy and average at best. Then one day…BAM… I did it and it
worked. Perfect water marble nails. The only thing I did different was do it in
a plastic cup, rather than a glass one. But it worked perfectly. And since then
I have been able to do it successfully two more times – once on myself and once
on my sister-in-law. What changed? I literally couldn’t tell you, but I’m
complaining! Anyway, here is my wate rmarble journey. Please excuse the
exceedingly shoddy camera work on the earlier photos :-)
The Failed attempts:
 |
| 1. Only one finger worked! |
 |
| 2. A weird and very spead out blue |
 |
| 3. I only managed to do one good finger. The rest were...a disater. | |
 |
| 4. Hot Mess! |
 |
| 5. This one worked the best but stll looks like a random pattern. |
And then...:
 |
| Where did that come from?! |
 |
| I didn't want to try my luck so I only did two fingers. |
 |
| Second Succesful attempt so I did all my fingers. |
 |
| The only downide was gouging my ring finger. |
So
there you have it! If I am able to replicate a successful water marble again I
will attempt to take some progress / tutorial photos. Any question, please ask
in the comments! If you guys liked this then I will do Part 2, 3, 4 etc on things like stamping, gradients, nail art.
