Watermarble!
Today I have something awesome to show you. Its... *drumroll, please* ... WATER MARBLE! :) I was so hesitant to try this because of the huge mess... believe you me, this makes a HUGE mess... below are my nails after 2 clean ups and a shower and there's still polish everywhere so please excuse that. We all know I hate messy cuticles but I honestly can't help it. Let me stop blabbering and show you the awesomesauce that is my manicure:

ReplyDeleteYour water marble looks amazing! To minimize the cleanup, I tape around my nails with scotch tape. It works fairly good.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I did that, but I guess I left too much space between my nail and the tape... Oh well, now I know for next time! :D
ReplyDeletethis looks SO AMAZING!! i am sooo scared to try this!
ReplyDeleteDon't be scared, Desiree! What I learned from my first encounter was to use disposable cups (I used 3 oz dixie cups and they worked fabulously), use newspaper to protect the surface you're working on, and that toothpicks don't work well for the swirling, I used a pencil. ALSO, make sure to wipe the tip of whatever you're using to swirl it after every swirl or there'll be a huge glop of polish there and it'll mess up your design /: but it was REALLY fun! You should try it, I'd love to see it :)
ReplyDeleteEEEEK! i'll probably try it here soon when I've got more free time! Maybe this weekend! I've always LOVED the look of marbling but it scares me.. but just like everything else I've had to practice :) i love love love this by the way. I wish we could miraculously trade nails for the day :p
ReplyDeleteThat would be SO awesome! :) If only it were possible /:
ReplyDeleteThank you, btw :) I'm glad you love it :D
ReplyDeleteThat is really just perfect. I love the colors you chose! Maybe one day I'll get brave enough to try a water marble. =)
ReplyDeleteThat turned out really well! Argg I have yet to try it, because I'm too lazy to bother with the mess lol
