I've only tried water marbling three times before - once around this time last year, then twice in the same day shortly after the first attempt. They were all absolutely abysmal, they are actually still existent on the blog if you were so inclined to go back that far, but I was pants at nails then so I wouldn't really advise it ;P
Anyway, I decided today was high time I gave it another go. I've improved a lot at plenty of nail art techniques since then and naively assumed that I would magically be better at this as well. WRONG!
I watched sooo many YouTube tutorials and such in preparation, but it just sucked. Haha there's all lumps and stringy bits and ewww. I think it's just destined to be something I'll never learn to ace!
Share your water marbling secrets with me below if you think you can help me get good at it!
(P.S. Sorry for not having posted yesterday - I have a giveaway scheduled that I wanted to post yesterday but I'm STILL waiting to hear back from the sponsor about something before it can go live. Fingers crossed for Monday)
You don't suck at it! I wouldn't even attempt it as I know i'd end up making such a mess! I love the colour combination you used :)

ReplyDeleteif you think you suck at it...you probably never saw MY attemps with water marble! ah, no, you surely didn't see them, as I don't even dare to publish them LOL
ReplyDeletedon't give up, you only need to get used to it!actually, i think it's quite a nice job!
I haven't tried water marbling yet. But I'm sure I'll be way worse than you, so don't worry.
ReplyDeleteI actually like how yours turned out, and the colours look great.
I think they still look great:)
ReplyDeleteThat is meant to be suck-y????? You must be joking! It's great!
ReplyDeletewow, this is really pretty. i must make an attempt at it. you are actually very good, at least in my opinion :)
ReplyDeletePractice makes perfect and all that jazz! But I'd say that was a very good attempt, I'm impressed; I'd never be able to do that! xx
ReplyDeleteI sure don't think it sucks! I love the color choices you made too.
ReplyDeleteI actually think it looks fantastic! x
ReplyDeleteyou are really good at this girlie!
ReplyDeleteit looks good! maybe you need to practice on getting the same pattern on each nail, but this looks awesome too!
ReplyDeleteDaww, thanks everyone :)
ReplyDelete@you nailed it: Haha, I didn't actually intend to have the same pattern on each nail. Trust me, if that is what I was attempting it would at least be vaguely similar. I prefer the design to be different on each nail.
I love them! You don't give yourself enough credit lovely! x
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with you. You DEFENITELY DON'T SUCK at marbling! I think it is gorgeous =)
ReplyDeleteYou don't suck! I totally love this! I looove that purple color with the gold, great choice :)
ReplyDeleteI really like these!!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty good! I haven't tried it yet. I've been putting it off. I know it's harder than how it looks.
