Flowery Water Marble!

Good morning! It's been a long time since I've done a water marble and I decided to try again last night.  It's pretty time consuming, at least 30 minutes a hand for me including clean up, which is why I don't do it that often. I have to admit, though, that I love the results of a successful water marble even taking the time into account.

I need to figure out new designs to do with water marbling because this is my "default" design. I even did a tutorial on it a while back, so check it out here!

I can't say enough good things about Milani White on the Spot. I always do a base color of white nails before dipping into the water marble to make the thin layers of color pop. Milani White on the Spot is a one coat white and it was so nice to use for water marbling as a base! No more 2-3 coats of white and waiting for them to dry before doing the water marble design.

I used:

Orly Nail Defense

1 coat of Milani White On The Spot

Watermarbled with:

OPI Alpine Snow

China Glaze Custom Kicks

China Glaze Traffic Jam

China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le

Top coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast

I love how the Secret Peri-wink-le turned more purple toned because it was marbled next to the pink! What do you think? I only had to redo 2 nails out of all 10 so I call that a success! Also, I find that for me, taping around the nail causes air pockets between the edge of the nail and the tape and the design doesn't always stick to the sides of the nail. So I went with no tape this time and just did the cleanup with qtips and acetone after. Thanks for reading!
