The Digit-al Dozen Does Nature: Day 1 - Rainbow Watermarble feat. Dermelect


Kicking off the Digit-al Dozen Nature theme week, I did a floral water marble using a rainbow of Dermelect polishes!


I cheated on the theme a little, but I was trying to be creative and stretch it. Since this is what's considered a floral marble with the petals, I say it's nature enough to count! :)






The Dermelect polishes I used are:
Red - Power Trip
Pink - Moxie
Orange - Head Turner
Green - Renegade
Dark Blue - Phenom
Medium Blue - Fearless
Light Blue - Above It
Tan - So Superb
Brown - Ferosh

I swear these polishes just marbled themselves, they were absolutely fantastically perfect in the water!!

I ended up adding a matte topcoat so I have another round of pics with this mani matted.

The matte topcoat makes it more bold, you can see the design better without the shine of a regular topcoat, but it takes something away from the mani too, almost making it more dull/darker. I can't decided which way I like it better!







I did a water marble decal video tutorial to go along with this mani too!

Thanks!! :) My only problem with marble decals is that you have to let them dry and I'm impatient! Haha!
Amazing marble, and I love the colour palette.

It is! But you have to let the decal dry so it takes quite a bit longer. They both have their pros and cons.
If I ever get around to water marbling, I can only hope to be this good someday!

Flawless! I wish I could wrangle the patience to get a good watermarble done. I always give up! These are great and good to know those polishes are good for marbling!

Aww thank you! :) There are times I can just sit down and play with different polishes and practice marbling for hours! Idk, I just enjoy it!
This is very impressive! Water marbles never turn out too well for me...but yours kicks butt!

Oh wow! These are fabulous! Everything is so crisp and perfect. I always get the goobies when I attempt water marbles. But this is flawless!

Thank you so much! Try dipping your marbling tool wherever the goop is and that'll take it out so it won't transfer to your nail.
Cool! I will try that, thank you!
damn you lol xx (gorgeous btw)
