My first water marbling

UGH. Just ugh. Yeaah, as you can tell already I got frusterated with marbling real fast. It didn't turn out terrible for a first attempt, but yeah. The amount of polish wasted made my OCD go a bit crazy as well, this is definetley not something I will do very often.

For future reference, and anyone reading this... DON'T BE LAZY and USE TAPE. It took me awhile to get all the extra polish off my fingers. VERY messy. Here is the pics of my some what failed attempt.

I used some China Glaze, Pure Ice, Sally Hansen... a little bit of everything really. The lime green was Pure Ice and I was very very surprised that it actually worked better out of all of them. I had read that CG and SH were pretty good, but apparently PI beat them both out! At least for me! I had tested some other Pure Ice polishes as well, they all worked very well and spread out over the water very quickly! The only ones that didn't work quite as well were the Pure Ice metallic polishes. Something about Pure Ice's metallic polish formula is off, even when using it for a base color. (Super streaky.)

My nails here are the longest they've been. Ever. I'm having trouble shaping my middle finger nails, not to mention during clean up I accidentally removed too much on one of my middle fingers. So feel free to ignore that, heh. I recently cut my nails down to little nubbies but this was the length they were before I did so. I would have enjoyed the length if I could only find a proper nail shape for my middle nails in particular. *shrug* Sooo here is my failed water marble:

Smeared the white on my pointer finger, otherwise that would have been my favorite.
My ring finger turned out best, IMO.

Meh. Very MEH about this hand. This was the first one I tried, much

less success. My thumb turned out best here, really. Instead of a pretty

marble design, it looks more like hippie vomit.
