I have already shown this mani once before in my FIRST blog post ever lol but I don't think many of you have seen that post.... so I thought I'd show it again =]
This mani is also my profile picture... that's how much I ♥ it!
Now I took this one picture wayyyyy before I began blogging (even before I started thinking about blogging!) and it was done using my phone camera.. so please please please don't get mad at me for showing you all such a crappy pic lol
I'm actually pretty mad at myself for not taking more pictures! Sigh.... if only I had done...
Anyway.... so here it is!
This was my first ever attempt at water marbling and I think it's also the last time ever..... Lol you'l find out why in a sec
Here are the polishes I used to create this marble mani:
See how most of the polishes are like almost half empty? Well they were all full before I began the mani. =S
Uhm yea.
I really love my polishes and marbling wasted sooo much polish because I kept failing and trying over and over again, so that's why I honestly don't want to so this again! I can't handle it if something doesn't look perfect and the overall process of creating this mani took just under 4 hours to complete! Lol crazy right!
The outcome was definitely worth it but man I am NEVER going through all that ever again! =P
If your wondering what the polishes I used are, they'r all pretty old with the exception of the Avon and Miss Sporty one, so I'm not sure if you'l be able to get your hands on them easily. However they are, Avon Decadence, Olay Orange Sorbet, L'oreal Dusky Rose, Miss Sporty Metallic Grey and Boots Glitter Babes Sparkle topcoat.
I used the Miss Sporty one as a base for my nails and used the colours for marbling and then finished by adding the glitter topcoat once everything was dry.
Let me know what you think of water marbling... have you guys ever tried it? Love it or hate it?
♥♥♥
This is soooo girly and pretty! Love it!
Aw thanks sweetie =]
It looks super cute! :) I tried water marbling myself...and I really love the result, but it took me 3hours and I also wasted a lot of polish, like you did. I think it´s just not worth it.
Cool idea with the glitter top coat! :)
WOW! That is gorgeous, the effect is amazing...but I'm not sure I'd have the patients to do that lol, you did well.
Thumbs up from me my love!
xxx
I sooo love this look :) Wish I could do my nails like this!! lol :)

Wow, you're much more patient that I am--the two times I've tried it, I've just given each nail one shot at it, no do overs. :)
you mean you used half of the bottle for a full mani?? but i do look the effect though. Ive only did the waterless marble design before because i didnt want to waste nail polish.
@Lady Pink: Aw thanks! And I have to agree with you, the result is amazing but yea not worth it, especially if your using expensive polishes!
@Little Miss Sparkles: Thanks hun! Aw I don't know where I get the patience from... i'm usually a really impatient kinda person! =P
@Jen: Thanks very much =]
@KarenD: Haha I guess I just can't stand imperfections! Lol it must be OCD or something =P
@Silence is Loud: Yep I wasted 3 bottles of polish for this mani =/ And thanks you =) ooh yea I remember your waterless one! It was brilliant! May have to give that one a go myself soon =]
♥♥♥
i think its very pretty, but yeah that sucks on the polish waste :(
I've never tried water marbling, but I really love your end result. I think I'll be the same way as you keep re-doing it until its perfect lol ^_^
it's beautiful I can't do water marble but I may try it again.
I could not resist and I already paint my nails. You know I have been wearing a lot the mua lip gloss you send me the one of the give-away prize (white shimmery). It's gorgeous over a lot of lipsticks.
Thanks everyone =] Yupp polish waste is the only thing I hated bout this mani!
@Beauty Shades: Aw yea I think everyone should gie it a go.... you never know, you might actually be a pro at it!
And aw thats sweet =] Glad you like it!
