The Time I Lost My Water Marbling Virginity

A few weeks ago I did an attempt on water marbling and here is what I found out:

  • Water marbling is messy
  • water marbling is time consuming
  • no matter how many youtube videos you watch, none of them are that helpful as every single one makes it look so simple.
  • pick colours wisely
  • pick brands even wiser, some brands just do not work for this
  • choose a base colour for your nails which is neutral, white is best but beige or taupe is equally as fine
  • the implement you use to make your swirls better be something you don't mind getting covered in nail varnish
  • invest in some scotch tape
  • have lots of nail varnish remover and cotton balls at the ready.
  • act fast
