Water Marble Nails

Hi everyone!

I hope you're having a great day. 
I just thought I'd share some nail art I did a couple of nights ago. 
When I was big on my nails a couple of years ago, my favourite technique was water marbling. 


To achieve this look, I used Barry M Gelly paints. They have the perfect consistency for water marbling. 

'I'll do up a quick tutorial one of the days, but basically, paint your nails a base colour, this time I used Barry M Matt white, grab yourself a shot glass (no, we don't need to get drunk to do this!!) pop some room temp water in it (see, not a drop of alcohol in sight!!)
Grab 2 or 3 colours of nail polish (I'll list up below what I used) then let the polish drop from the brush into the water, and alternate the colours, kinda like a bulls eye, then with a cocktail stick, drag the polish into a pattern, then dunk your nail in! 
Then keeping your nail in the water, clean off the excess polish off the surface of the water, then lift out your finger. 
Then all being well you should have a pretty design left on your nail!!
Clean up using cotton buds and pure actone and seal with a good topcoat. 


I think they came out quite well! What do you think?
Have you ever tried water marble nail art?
