I first heard of dry water marbling from More Nail Polish's Blog post and I knew I just had to try it out. Basically, you transfer the water marble pattern on plastic, let it dry and then transfer the color to your base color.
I used Essie's One Day without Blues and Wet n Wild Eggplant Frost. I really need to work on my technique. I think I need to watch some of Colette's videos. She's a water marble genius and I know I could use some pointers! LOL. Anyways, here's what I came up with. This was over my Zoya Gemma mani from last Friday:
Not too bad for a 1st try ☺
Thanks for looking!
It looks great, especially if it was your first try! Getting a good pattern in the water is so damn hard for me, Colette makes it look so easy!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I know, she makes it look so easy too! LOL. I love the look so much, that I'll have to keep trying! I really like the "dry" method because the cleanup is so quick.
DeleteI really like the shape of it!
ReplyDeleteBut the color... ok, no offence, but bad combo and this green is REALLY bad T_T
ha ha, no offense taken! Yeah, maybe Gemma wasn't the best choice for a base color 8-)
DeleteNot bad for a first attempt! I like the colour combination :) Plus I had never heard of dry water marbling... So thanks for the tip! I might have to try that sometime! See, even when I spread chocolate on bread I manage to end up with chocolate on my nose, (wet?) water marbling is out of my reach!
ReplyDeleteI soooo recommend the dry method. The clean up is so much easier than dipping your nail in the water (which I've tried before). I just have to work on getting a better patten next time.
DeleteLovely first attempt!!! It has such a newt look going on!!! They kid of look likes rivers from the air :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you're right! Cool ☺
