The base is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On. I used Finger Paints Sketch n Etch and China Glaze Ruby Pumps, with more white between the dots. I'm getting better at this, but the only finger that really looks candy cane-y is the middle. By the way, double dipping leads to interesting, but not really pretty results, as is evidenced by my index finger. I also figured out how to get two fingers out of each marble, which feels less wasteful.
I did tape the heck out of my fingers, but oh, there was still a ton of clean-up. Here's my right hand, after tape removal, before acetone.
Go see what awesome candy canes my fellow challengers came up with!

Great color combos. How creative of you to create this cute nail design. Great job girl!

Water marbling is my nemesis so I admire you attempting it. Love your combination of colours. Psst *easy clean-up hint* try applying vaseline on your fingers and cuticles before dipping in water and then just wipe off polish. It is super easy and less torturous on your cuticles
ReplyDeleteoops, vaseline = petroleum jelly
Deletei hate doing water marble, i suck in it :P
ReplyDeletebut yours is just lovely :D
I have yet to succeed with water marbling...although I keep trying! It is such a messy and time consuming technique. You did great though! See you day 4
ReplyDeleteIt is one of those that you have to practice, practice, practice. I rarely practice it though, since it is sooooo messy. Sometimes I dread the clean-up! I love your colors!
