White & blue water marble "home-made" decals

I have to admit that I'm "in war" with water marble :-) I would really like to be able to make those wonderful water marble patterns and manicures that I see on many blogs, but until now I didn't have so much success... :-) Well, maybe it will change some day :-)

This is as close as I could get with water marble technique :-) 
I used the classic water marble procedure... glass of water, drops of white and blue nail polish... then I just let it all dry on the surface of the water, cut the shapes to fit my nails and used them as water decals, fixing all with shiny top coat... :-) 

I was quite happy how it came out :-) Although I still think that this technique is rather messy and takes a lot of time, I am planning to try to improve my water marble skills in the future... far away future? :-)

  7. ja sam odustala od water marblea, ne mogu nikako nac lakove koji se lijepo sire i koji se nece odmah osusit nego ce me pustit da napravim lijepi uzorak na njima, probavala sam i s raznim vodama na raznim temperaturama, al nista ne pomaze

    1. Ja sam se dva-tri puta podugo zabavljala ili zamarala water marble-om, bez mnogo uspeha... onda sam napravila ove water marble decals, samo sam se na kraju i sa njima ulepila dok sam ih nanela na nokte... Mnogo mi se dopada water marble, ali dok se ozbiljno ne prihvatim izazova nece biti rezultata... :-/
