Today is the dreaded water marble day. Ug. I think these colors look fantastic. The rest.. didn't turn out so well. I have a number of complaints here. Before we get into that, let's just look at the pretty colors. Oooooo..
Once again, this is another first for me. Typically when I have been trying new techniques, I sort of just jump right in. This time I knew I had to depend on a tutorial to help me out. To prepare, I watched a couple of videos from the Queen of water marbling. Apparently I did not watch enough videos to have a good idea of how to do it.

Once I choose my colors I was pretty dead set on using them together. After not being able to get them to expand well in the water, I just decided to work with them best I could. It was too late at night to be changing the game plan. Some polishes started drying faster than the others. So I have broken gaps especially noticeable on my ring finger.
I'm not happy with how this turned out, but I'm not discouraged. There are way too many successful water marbles out there for me to give up. I want to try again! I need to figure out what polishes work well, and a few other questions I had.
Even with how sloppy and broken this is, I love that water marbles still always look unique. No one else has one that looks just like this! Want to know my favorite part about this? It was the quickest manicure I've done this whole Challenge!
What I used:
OPI Live and Let Die-deep green
Zoya Bevin- sage
A England Holy Grail-gold

ReplyDeleteThank you for not looking closely. :) I think it looks like a cool looking rock.
Deletegorgeous color combinations!! I think you did fine with the marbling, and the colors more than made up for it!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think this looks wonderful! I've never been able to use any shimmery or metallic polishes when I marble.. Not sure why but I love how the gold stands out so strongly :)
ReplyDeleteThe gold is my favorite part by far.
DeleteThat is beautiful. - colours give it such depth!
ReplyDeleteThe colors ROCK together :D I love this! However I understand why you're not 100% happy with it. Water marble is a pain in the arse so... I am glad you're not discouraged!
