31DC2016 Day 20 – Water marble

Hello lovelies,

You guys….day 20!  Tomorrow the inspired by section starts.  I am nervous and excited. Possibly more nervous than excited.

Here is the list of prompt so you can see what you have to look forward to in the next section.  A lot of it is in the interpretation and that is what makes me nervous.

Water marble can either be absolutely gorgeous or a beautiful mess.  It either works or it doesn’t.  I won’t say how many colour combinations and polishes I tried for this (I had a vision in mind) but I will show you how it turned out.

I started with 1 coat of Sinful Colors – Snow me white and left that to dry completely. I then grabbed my little cup with water and started with the water marble.  I used China Glaze – I got a blue attitude, China Glaze – Lime after lime and China Glaze – Dj blue my mind.  I topcoated and that was that.

You know why I struggle with water marble?  It’s not the actual marbling that is a struggle for me (even though it doesn’t always go perfectly) but it’s the pattern.  I see people do patterns in water that seem totally random and similar to what I do but then it comes out in perfect patterns on their nails.  I have no idea how to do that.  My dream is to grow up and draw perfect beautiful patterns in my water marble.  Teach me your ways! I am sure there are going to be breathtaking marbles so check out the InLinkz thingamabob below.
