31DC2015: Day 20 - Water Marble


Today is Day 20 of The 31 Day Nail Art Challenge! Today's challenge is Water Marble Nails.

I tried to do water marble nails once before and it did not turn out nicely.. so I was kind of glad to see that Water Marble was one of the challenges because it forced me to get back into it. I think they turned out great for my first official time doing them properly.

I started by painting all my nails with one coat of Sinful Colors - Snow Me White. I then applied my Easy Peel Latex Barrier around each nail, which really helped with the removal stage. In a cup of room temperature water, I added blobs of Beyond the Nail - Cosmopolitan and Zoya - Wendy. I then got an orange wood stick and dragged lines through the water until I was happy with a design. I stuck my finger in it and when I took it out, I was left with the awesome design pictured below! I peeled away the latex barrier and I had to get a tiny brush and clean up my cuticles, but I didn't have to spend so much time cleaning the rest of my finger. Everything was topped off with PRO-FX - Quick Dry Topcoat.
