Welp, exactly what the title says, this was my millionth attempt at water marbling...I just do not have the knack for it whatsoever :(

I started with a white base, and used Zoya's Purity. This part came out nicely, so I thought that would set the mood for the rest of the mani, lol..nope. I tried water marbling with two new colors of mine by Color Club. From the Take Wing collection I used Metamorphosis and Sparkle and Soar. Both beautiful colors, so vibrant! Metamorphosis is a teal, and Sparkle and Soar is orange, I figured these colors would look amazing together!
I wanted to crawl up in a ball and just paint my nails something bland I was so upset :( lol. It was thick, the first droplet of polish in the water would dry too fast and catch on my orange stick, ugh, a total mess everywhere. I got polish on my table, on my leggings, and definitely all over my hands. I am not sure what the exact reason for the mishap was, I tried making the water room temp, using thin polishes, dropping them in the water quickly, but to no avail.
Now I have naked nails bc I am uninspired and sad. Hahaha. Will probably paint them tonight after I organize my closet :3
If anyone has any tips, they would be much appreciated!
Did you use purified water? I've read that it makes a difference and that's what I used the first time I did a marble, it came out fine. Took a few tries though. ;x
ReplyDeleteI didn't! I have heard that too, but I didn't have any -__-;
