Hello.. I confess I suck at water marble. I tried, several times, and it was messy, and wasted so much of my time- I wasn't patient enough to keep trying.... So I cheated !!!
 |
| This disaster is why I had to change course. |
This is how I
performed my "Dry water marble" technique:
1. Blobs of polish
on a clean surface. (I used my plastic/ paper paint easel pad)
2. Swirl together
until you're happy. (I used a pointy bamboo skewer)
3. Wait to dry. (I
left it there most of the day, and in the pic you will se I peeled them off the
easel and kept them inbetween plastic, as I applied them to the nails the next
day)
4. Apply layer of
polish to nails. (I used clear, if the polish is too wet then the dry marble
slid around and ripped)
5. Work out the size
of polish you need to cover your nail. (Don't make it small, cleaning up by
cutting larger pieces worked well for me)
6. Press on blob of
dry water marble, mold to nail curve. (Once you can tell it's stuck, time for
acetone and cotton bud clean up)
7. Apply clear
polish topcoat. Ta-dah :)

The polishes I used were:
ulta3- citrus, ulta3-
crystallina, NYC (dupe of ulta3)- mandarin, NYC- limelight, BC Co.- Shade 11
(black)

But then I wasn't
happy with the appearance, so added my brand new---- Aussie made..
Awesome shiney-ness
for a sunny day.
I was looking
through the large cheeky stamping plates for something spooky.. and that isn't
going to be used during other Halloween challenge days..
I came across the
design that, never in my life I would be willing to choose to use as something
pretty for my nails.
CH33: recycling
symbol.
Stamping polish: SH

Why did cheeky
choose that specific design?? So that we nail chicks can get the message out to
everyone to save the world by recycling??
So I can now say
that yes, I have now used this design...
Then and only then
was my crappy non- water marble spooky Halloween challenge mani complete !!
Thank you everyone
for giving me inspiration by your inlinkz.
