Amateur Water Marbling
Hello!
I've been attempting a lot of different things with my nails this past week but I've been so busy I haven't had the chance to post them. So I have three looks to share with you today. I'll post them separately so I can tell you how I did them.
My first look was my first attempt at water marbling... please be kind haha. I actually think they turned out pretty good for a first timer. It was a bit difficult to get the hang of but I eventually figured it out and I was on a roll! Sorry in advance if the pictures are blurry. :(
I started with two coats of Sinful Colors Innocent. Now, Innocent is a light green color that I probably shouldn't have used for water marbling. I read so many blogs about using a pale color like white but I thought I'd be adventurous and use green... well you use a pale color for a reason. The green kind of changed the overall color scheme I was going for. Even though it was dry when I put the water marble on top, I guess the tint didn't mix well or something. So instead of a pretty royal blue, my nails ended up a purple color. Well, you live and you learn!!
After the base coat, I taped up each of my fingers with scotch tape so that only the nails were showing. I dipped each one of my fingers into room temperature water that I had added droplets of my favorite colors to. Make sure you wait until you nails are dry to take off the tape! (I made that mistake) For more of a visual explanation look up a video on Youtube, just type in Nail Water Marbling.
This is what I ended up with:
It's far from perfect but I think it looked great for a first try! I received lots of compliments on it! What I've learned? This look takes A LOT of patience
What I used:
Sinful Colors Innocent
Sally Hansen Pacific Blue
Avon Speed Dry Strawberry
Sinful Colors Invisible
I hope you enjoyed my first real blog. For some reason, this took forever to post! Look out for my next blog and please subscribe!
