Twinsie Tuesday: Monochromatic - Shades of Blue Water Marble


I haven't done a water marble in a while, and I thought it would be a good monochromatic look that was easy to achieve with multiple shades of the same color.





I've also never tried Dermelect polishes before, but grabbed some at Ulta recently. I have to say, I am extremely impressed with them! I got ten, and have done a quick swatch of six so far. The formulas are so smooth and easy to glide on the nail; so far they've all been two-coaters, and some I could have gotten away with one thicker coat instead. They self-level well and are super shiny without topcoat! 

I thought hmm, are they too good to be true? Let's try them in water! So I used my favorite of the ones I got, Fearless - a gorgeous, primary blue. The light blue is Above It, and the navy blue is Phenom. I used Fearless as the base, but these are so pigmented that the light blue in the marble covered it flawlessly! So in love with these!

Don't forget to check out all the other Twinsies and see what they did for this week!

Thank you! :) It really takes a lot of practice to get it down. I'm just now able to successfully water marble after years of trying. If it helps, do your marble design and let it dry in the cup overnight, then take it out and cut it up like a decal.
Man, your all blue water marble looks fantastic!
