NailsLikeLace: Rainbow Marble

Rainbow Marble

This is one that gave me some trouble, as always, with consistency. I used Sally Hansen's Fairy Teal and Thinking of Blue, Rimmel's Sunset Orange and China Glaze Golden Opportunity.

I did this same design in the water every time but it still came out a mess:

So I tried again with a different pattern. It came out much better the second time around! Although I'm still not completely satisfied with how light the Rimmel turned out. Oh well.

Overall I call it a successful water marble! =D

Thanks for stopping by! Have a spectacular day!! =)

This is gorgeous! I tried water-marbling a couple times, but I'm too impatient haha.

Thanks! Yea it does take a lot of patience, that's why I don't do it very often!

I love the second attempt, it's espcially great that you managed to get such vibrant colors out of it.

I prefer the second one, too! I used white as a base, I think that helped the color turnout.

They both look pretty damn good to me!!!!! I have a feeling that if I tried this it wouldn't come out right at all!

It is pretty hard but even if each nail pattern isn't the same it still looks neat so!
