I think it was supposed to look like this. It actually looked like this:
I kept trying different colors, to see if the newer or fuller nail polish bottles would work better. My pinky looks the best, but it was still pretty rough. I can't really imagine how someone could get it as perfect as the pictures on Pinterest show. When we started the project, I thought it would be really cool to blog about. After my total failure, I figured I might as well go ahead and share anyway. Just keeping it real.
Water marbeling is so freakin' hard! I still have yet to perfect it! I cannot believe how awesome some people can get their nails to look with this technique!
ReplyDeleteSome tips that I've learned, though, in case you want to try again: put on a coat of color first before marbeling, don't use a "quick dry" formula of nail polish (I've definitely made that mistake!), use room-temp water, and, you don't have to, but it sometimes works better to combine nail polishes of the same brand.
Hope that helps you out, if you try again! :)
