Hello everyone! I'm not really sure what to call this post, it's a technique that I've shown you before on the blog where you watermarble with an opaque colour and a sheer one to make sort of a peek-a-boo over a pattern. I've been envisioning this manicure for ages but unfortunately the black polish that I used didn't spread in the water as much as I would have liked.
Gorgeous, right?
So to get this look I first did gradients on each of my nails. If I remember correctly, the colours I used were OPI The Thrill of Brazil, Zoya Arizona, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, OPI Green-wich Place, OPI Fly, and OPI Do You Lilac It? For the water marble I used Quo by ORLY Little Black Dress and OPI Don't Touch My Tutu!
I think I need to find a black polish that would spread better in water, if there was just a little less black here I think I would be much happier.
Have you ever tried this technique? What colour combinations would you like to see?
Wow! This is an amazing idea and I love your manicure!

ReplyDeleteI can only gaze in amazement at your water marbling... I can't do it, and believe me I've tried, many times. This is beautiful.
