Not bad eh? :D
I came across Trishza's blog page and saw her post on Water Marbling. At first I thought, "Wow what sort of Nail Art equipment do use to get snazzy nails like that?" haha Im totally clueless when it comes to nail art. And as I read and scrolled futher down I saw that you can actually do it yourself. You can search for water marbling or watch this video to learn how to do it
This was done with acrylic nails though. its basically the same thing you just dip your
finger on a pattern that you like.
finger on a pattern that you like.
Im a sucker for DIY projects! The tougher, the messier, the more I want to do it! I dont succeed most of the time haha I just like the challenge. So I took out my nail polishes and got ready to try it on myself. And voila!! well no, it sucked when I first tried it..lol
EPIC FAIL!
I couldnt get round circles on the water and I think I put too much nail polish. The pinky finger nail looks good though, but I didnt like the color (I used Beige and a Hot Pink color from Caronia) so I removed it.

Like most challenging DIY projects I take up on, after failing I move on haha. But my nails were icky and I couldnt leave em like that. So I decided to try again. I used White (Kiss Nail Polish), Beige (Caronia) and Teal (Claire's Nail Polish). This time determined to make it work.
I skipped on a minor detail (aplying tape around the area of your nail before dipping) and I so regretted it because I ran out of Acetone haha. I ended up having to scrub my hands :/ So please, if youre trying this at home. Dont be a lazy ass and apply tape around the nail area.
I tried my best to take a good picture. But my Phone's camera cant handle details. i love the very detailed swirly pattern. And the patterns are all different. Every nail is unique. Added some nail stickers to some areas where it looked bare.
Pictures crappy. It looks much better in person :) haha
Im loving it for now. But its mediocre, I will definitely be getting more nail polishes to try different colors :)

wow the marbling thing sounds a good idea. ^_^. Like you, I cannot do a decent NOTD on my own , I'm so messy when doing NOTD hehe ^_^
You did great! My first couple of tries were epic failures...I don't know if it was my problem or the nail polish's problem. Basically I ended up with a very uneven GLOP of nail polish on my nails.
ok that looks so cool... i gotta watch this vid good job!
i saw this vid before & i was actually contemplating if i would try it..
it's really pretty
but im not sure if i would to spend most of the time erasing the excess polish on my fingers..lol
but then, it's worth it,right?
^_~

I didn't know this kind of nail art can be done. It looks so gorgeous. Too bad as I can't paint my own nails. :D

golden, thank you! :) If I can do it, so can you! hahaha
Viva La Fashion, aw thank you! Its better to paint on a base color just so when the pattern doesnt cover the whole nail it wont look weird :)
