I'm usually pretty tame when it comes to nail designs/art. Actually I'm downright boring because I typically like just a plain creme finish with no type of decoration. But lately I've been a LITTLE adventurous in an accent nail. I decided that I would just water marble my ring fingers. It was a spur of the moment decision. I didn't really have any of the necessary tools in order to do so. I think the most important tool would be to have small dixie cups. We don't have disposable cups around the house, but I did happen to find a 16 oz plastic cup which was the number factor to my huge mess!
I didn't want to waste 16oz of water just for water marbling, so I only filled the cup a quarter of the way. Because I had to dunk my whole hand into the cup just to get my ring finger in, I didn't have any room to maneuver around to collect the old polish at the surface of the water. So when I pulled my finger up, I ended up pulling all the the polish up attached to my nail. A HUGE glob of nail polish was sitting on my finger, like a small tumor.
And then I kept messing up the rest of my mani by touching the polish in the cup. Next time if all I'm going to water marble are my ring fingers, I should leave the rest of my nails unpainted until I finish water marbling. Because now I have to redo most of my mani.
This first attempt at water marbling was a MESS!
