Day 20 - Water Marbled


China Glaze Kinetic Candy, Topshop AWOL, Essie Coral Reef

Guys, water marbles are hard! I usually avoid them at all costs. They're messy, only seem to work half the time and usually end up with me angrily painting my nails just one plain colour. 

But, they are day 20 of the challenge, and though I may be taking my sweet time working through the 31 day challenge, I fully intend of completing it. So... this is my water marble. The thought of doing more than four nails scared me, so I complemented them with some spots and stripes! 

Does anyone actually like doing water marbling  I love the look of it, but the effort and failure rate (well, my high failure rate) is normally enough to send me running! Does anyone have any tips?

    1. Honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! But still so messy! Next time I'll definitely have to do the sticky tape around your nail trick!

  3. omg rosie i love these so much! the colors and mix of patterns look so cool. i've never once tried water marbling because it terrifies me! my sister has done it a bunch of times though and i think we are going to do it together in the near future so that she can hold my hand through it and help me face my fears haha.

  5. I have only tried water marbeling once myself, nd agree it's very messy. I truck I tried that worked, similar to the tape idea, is putting vaseline around tired naik. Then when you're done it wipes right off. Worked pretty well. I have admit, I really like your mix of water marble & other patterns better than water marble shoved! :)
