So

please go check it out and subscribe to that channel if you want to see more videos from me

I'll still be doing my nail videos on this channel

But everything else will be going onto the other channel from now on

Anyways, so i don't know what took me so long to try water marbling...

actually i think it's because the last time i tried, it didn't work out so well

so i ended up doing...

a few of the non water water marbling designs last year

but recently i stumbled onto this

water marble shout out video by a channel called DearNatural62

she mentioned

so many helpful tips in her video that i decided to give it another try

so i'll link her video down below so you girls can go check her out

i was really really determine this time to make it work

and somehow it all just all came together

so here is the tutorial

so as always, start with base coat to protect your nails. Then a layer or 2

of a white nail polish

i'm using this glass candle holder with a 5cm diameter opening

it's not too big so hopefully i won't have to use too much nail polish to fill it

you can also use any round shaped containers or cups whatever you can find

around the house

then I filled it with tap water and let it sit for about thirty minutes or so

until it becomes room temperature

you dont want the water to be too cold because it dries up the nail polish quicker

So i've got my 2 colors ready. it's just a simple 2 color design.

have them open so you can access them quickly

starting with the black polish

add one drop and wait for that to spread

then continue with a drop of the white polish and repeat steps until you get

a few rings of each color

i recommend not dripping it from too high otherwise it will sink to the bottom of

the cup

I hear other people say to use filtered water

i just use the tap because the water here in Australia is pretty clean

and it definitely works for me

something to note about the type of nail polish to use

i did a couple of polish tests to make sure the colors spread properly

some nail polishes don't work very well either it doesn't spread or it doesn't allow

other polishes to spread on top of them

so test it out and see which ones work for you

so once you have this bulls eye ring in front of you

looks kind of hypnotising doesn't it

grabe a stick with a pointy end i'm using an orange stick here and start

anchoring the outter rings like this

you do this so that when you drag the designs later on it doesn't

move around i think missing this step was why my last water marble

attempt failed so miserably

now that we have our spide web set setup

we can start dragging the rings together. There are lots of ways to create

designs with water marble

this is probably the easiest way so if you want to see me do more water

marble designs

let me know in the comments and

any suggestions for color combinations that you may have

so now that i have created a few petal shapes

i'm just going to turn the glass around to a position that is the easiest for me to dip

my finger in

then aim where you want your desig to be and lower your fingernail

into the water

hold your finger in the water and scoop away the remaining polishes from

the water surface

once the coast is clear you can take your finger out and there you go

looks like a bit of a mess but you can easily clean that up with some

nail polish remover you can always tape around the fingers to prevent them from

getting on your skin too much

on now that i have shown you the basics

let's try another one and i'll show you how to do them 2 at a time to save you

some nail polish

so before you start dripping again make sure the water surface is clean of

any polish residues

now once you have everything set up

use your orange stick and drag 3 lines acorss the rings to create 4 big petal

shapes like this

then drag 2 more lines innbetween the first 2 petals to make them into

smaller ones

you can dip the orange stick to combine the petals to make a point

now that we have done the first design

do the same on the other side to create the second one

once you got your 2 designs ready dip one of your fingers in the first

design than make sure the surrounding polishes have broken off

slowly take that finger out without disturbing the rest of the design

next dip your second finger in the second design

hold it there and scoop away the remaining polish and take your finger out

see killing 2 birds with 1 stone

or something like that

after you clean off the surrounding nail polish from your fingers

this is how it looks but knowing me i like to go the extra step

so i added some dots in to make the marble even more interesting to look at

add some black dots in the white area and white dots in the black area

then once your done add top coat for a lasting finish

if you like this design please like and favorite this video let me know if you

have any suggestions on color combination for my next water

marble video
