For this post I have put in many hours filming and editing the below video, now I am not 100% impressed by the quality of my nails, I usually am much more of a perfectionist but given the resulting video I am quite happy. I more or less just wanted to demonstrate these two techniques and simplify them for you.
What I Used:
Barry M Nail Paint in White (a current favourite)
Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Pain in Key Lime (a pretty new addition to my collection)
Maybelline Super Strong Gel Nail Colour in Crystal Clear
Pointed dotting tool
Make-up sponge
Sally Hansen Moisturising Nail Polish Remover
Cotton buds & pads
Masking tape
Glass of luke warm water
Avon Quick Dry Polish Spray
10 Essential Tips:
- Always start water marbling with a clean white base
- Always use tape to limit clean up
- Make sure the water is luke warm/room temperature so the polish can spread
- Shake the glass is the polish is struggling to spread
- Add each drop quick as you can
- Blow on the polish once you have dipped the nail in to make removing the excess easier
- Wait until the nail is dry before removing the tape and cleaning
- Do a few tester nails - practice makes perfect!
- When making the design in the polish - act fast, but not too fast (again practice!)
- If you can - use a brush to clean up your nail also as well as a cotton bud
