Well I made it through today -- how about you guys?
Jill over at Jilltastic Nail Design has weekly nail art challenges on her Facebook page and this week she chose water marbling for her fans. I have tried this technique twice before and have found that it's a very tricky technique and you have to hold your tongue just right in order for it to work ;P I decided I would participate in the challenge so tonight I did some water marbling.
First, I painted my nails white with L'Oréal I Will! so that the colours I used to water marble would pop! Then did my water marbling with Jessica Black, Avon Loving Lavender and Aqua Fantasy. I LOVE the way this turned out even though there were some spots where I mis-aimed and didn't get any design on my nails but that's OK because the white adds extra character with the unique designs :)
So what do you think?? Have you tried water marble nail art? Share pictures with us on my Facebook page!
Some tips and tricks --
- Use room temperature bottled water, not tap water
- I use a plastic shot glass (Jell-o shooter glass) that I got at my local dollar store
- Apply chapstick on the skin around your nail and up your finger so that when you dip your nail into the water and polish it is much easier to remove the polish that gets on your skin.

The thing I like about water marbling is that every nail looks different :)
