This is my first ever (just about) successful water marble! 😀 It’s taken me ages just to get this technique to actually work! *does happy dance*
It’s far from perfect, there are loads of bubbles and I missed a big bit on my thumb also the clean up was an absolute nightmare! Even with taping up my fingers, the silver polish is lovely but the sparkles are really sticky!
I started off with a base of Pumice from Sally Hansen, I created the water marble in a paper cup with two polishes from Orly, Liquid Vinyl which is a glossy black creme and Dazzle which is the sparkly silver metallic.
I found it worked best when the water was slightly cooler than skin temperature rather than at room temperature, I was in my kitchen and it tends to be a bit cold in there!
I am so happy that I have finally managed to do a water marble! 😀

I love the middle and ring finger.
I’ve never been able to get water marbling to work for me.

This looks really good 🙂 I’ve never tried water marbling – maybe it’s time 😀 I also have Orly Dazzle – I will remember not to let it get on my cuticles.

Thank you! 😀 Dazzle is such a lovely silver! Ponders… *I wonder if it would be any good for stamping…*

This looks awesome, great job, it looks like the stone Agate! Try putting chap stick or something similiar around your cuticles/fingertips instead of tape. Its easier to apply, take off and the polish doesn’t stick to your greasy skin! 🙂 Works a treat.

Holy shit, I love this! I just started with watermarbling myself, and I’m in love with it! Didn’t even think about trying black and silver, but I definitely will now 🙂
