I have always wanted to try a water marble but the mess and daunting clean up have kept me away. Enter the toothpick! It doesn't have the clean grandness of a perfect water marble but it does have a fun swirl and marble.
It is very easy and rather fun. It just takes a little bit longer to dry. But I would rather wait an extra 5-10 minutes of dry time vs dousing my cuticles in acetone to remove the overage.
So how was this done? Just lay down the base coat (clear) and let dry. Figure out which colors you want to use (I used four - two orange and two black) and open all of them so they are easy to access. One finger at a time - paint the base coat with any of the four polishes. Quickly drop a couple of drops of polish on the nail of the different colors (1 drop of each, at least two colors). The more colors, the smaller the drops. The smaller the nail, the smaller the drops. Quickly use a toothpick and swirl the polish around. The polish will be on the thicker side so it needs to dry a bit before even applying the top coat.
I am so happy the way this turned out. I am definitely going to be trying this method again with some other colors.
