Marble Nails

 Hi! I thought I'd try water marble nails today and I must say they may sound like they are easy to do but they aren't! These are the steps I used to do them:

1) Apply a base coat of any colour you wish onto the nail.

2) While your nails dry, find a small bowl and wrap the bowl in plastic wrap so the bowl won't get ruined.

3) Fill it with room temperature water. (This is one of the main factors to get good result! The water must be room temperature. If you have difficulty in achieving that, slightly warm water works as well)

4) Pick around 2 or 3 other nail polish colours you like and with the nail polish wand put one drop of each of the colours in the water!

5) Afterwards, take a toothpick and gently create whatever design you want with the nail polish in the water.

6) Take your nail and put it in the water where the design is and hold it under water for about 10 seconds. While your hold your finger there, with a toothpick remove the excess nail polish around the finger so that it won't ruin your design.

7) Finally you can take it out and clean the nail polish around your finger with nail polish remover.

8) Repeat it for all your nails!

That's it! It's pretty challenging and this isn't the prettiest design, but hey I tried!
