Hello everyone, we're going to be doing a Valentine's Day water marble.
And I'm going to start out with a little tip for cleaning up your water
after you've done a couple nails
you might get kind of a *** of nail polish on the top.
You can see this isn't spreading out totally,
but if you kind of help it along,
you can get a skin to cover the entire surface of the water,
and then just give it a minute to dry,
and when you pull it up you'll pull up all of little strya bits also.
And
you'll have a clean surface to do your next nail.
Like that.
Another tip that I wanted to share with you guys
is that I usually use filtered water.
So, if you're having trouble with your water marbling and you're using tap water,
you might want to try switching to filtered water or bottled water.
The colors that i'm using for the marble today are all Sally Hansen.
The light pink is from the Hard as Nails line and it's called Petite Pink.
The darker pink is from the Sally Hanson Salon line,
and it's called Beet Stain.
And then once we get to the middle here I'm also going to add
just a little bit of a gold accent and that color is called Tassel.
So, I'm just going to go ahead here, and build my bull's eye
like I normally do for water marbling.
And once I'm done with the pinks here,
I'm just going to add in
one drop of gold,
right in the middle.
I'm going to get my orange stick and I'm just going to start drawing my design
into the polish.
Drawing the orange sticker through with just a light touch.
Wiping it off as necessary.
And just drawing
until you get a design that you're happy with.
You know, you don't want to take too long, or the polish can dry and become more
difficult work with.
Then, once you're ready to dip your nail,
you know, you can turn the cup a little
if you need to get a better angle.
And then once that's how you want it,
just take your nail and
dunk in there.
Take your orange stick,
and just reach in
and clean up the excess polish.
Just kind of scoop around in the cup
until you've got it mostly picked up.
Then you can
remove your nail,
tap off the water,
and there's your water marble design.
