Simple Water Marbling Nail Tutorial



Hey everyone! I am here to show you a tutorial for water marbling. There are two important things to use when doing this:
        1) Use nail polish that is not too thick because you don't want it to take forever to drip.
        2) Use water that is room temperature.

Supplies used for this look:

                                


1) Apply a base as usual.

2) Next you want to apply a base color so the design looks opaque on you nail. For my design I am using white(NYC 134 "French White Tip") as my base. Then i taped all around my nail because i don't want the excess nail polish to get on my finger when i dip it. An alternative to the tape is petroleum jelly but i find it to be more of a hassle.



3) Now you need to get a cup of room temperature water in a cup(that you do not plan on using except for water marbling). This is where you begin the process of dripping. Take whatever colors you desire and one after the other hold the wand over the water till it drips and spreads out. Do this until you have the desired amount of rings of nail polish.





4) Take a toothpick and lightly drag to create little lines. I typically start from the center and drag towards the outside. When you see a design you want on you nail, simply dip your nail into the water. You want to hold your finger for a quick 5 seconds. Then with a toothpick,moving in a spinning motion, clean the excess nail polish in the water.

5) Remove tape from around nail and Ta-da!
