Heyy guurl :)
Water marbled blues :D
ok after so long of saying i will marble my nails seeing as I’ve not done so since last year -flop-
I finally did it!Using a matte white by barry M as a base to make the colours pop and give it a better contrast.
Barry M bright blue and pastel green
Topshop gold.using a small bowl no deeper then 2”, i used an old Gu pudding pot they are perfect! Fill it up with water try get it room temp or as close to it as possible. if too cold the varnish will harden and try as soon as it hits the water. If too hot, varnish will become gloopy and may even sink.
-paint your nails white first.
-Using a old chapstick (faster and easier to work with) or vaseline rub it all around your finger tips, do two nails at a time if you can. Don’t get it on your nails as the varnish won’t stick to the nail.
-open all your varnishes and make sure you can get to them easily as your need to work quickly in order for the technique to work :D
-drop in nail varnish at a time. for example using three colours- one drop of blue, one of green, blue, gold, green.
-using a toothpick pull in or out the varnish to create a pattern (get creative:P )
-dip in two fingers- nail bed facing the water, straight down. using a toothpick again just swirl it around to remove the varnish on the water around your fingers. making sure the water is clear of any remaining varnish. then carefully pull out your fingers.
-with a tissue carefully wipe away the varnish on your finger. The chapstick/vaseline will have made this a hell of alot easier to remove. if any varnish remains just use a little nail varnish remover to take it off.
-neaten nail with a cotton bud if needed.
-apply topcoat
VOILA :D
let me know how you get on :D
