Nail art #11 - Water marbling

I'm not sure I quite like how my water marbling turned out; I really have had better. Somehow the red on white polish gives my nails a rather bloody look.

Polishes used:
Maybelline Colorama Candy Apple
Ulta3 Lily White
water marbling

I don't like the positioning on my first finger ,and the frustrating thing is that I had quite a nice pattern for it too. I got over-anxious, I suppose :/. Topcoat (Ulta3 Non-chip) also streaked the red polish, even though it was applied after awhile.

Thanks for dropping by.

    Alice: *blushes* That's really sweet of you ^^. My water marbling is still a hit and miss for me, but I'm working to improve on it :).

    Jackie S.: Thanks!

    This reminds me of Brach's peppermint candy. :)
    You did a really nice job too.

    I really like this, I think it's so pretty. I'm only just learning how to do this myself. So far, I'm finding that the cheapest brand available in the States is the best one for this technique: Wet n Wild.

    Water marbling is definitely a beautiful technique. Practice makes perfect - and also helps you figure out which polishes may not work so well, hehe.

    Oh, that's so sweet of you! ^^ I hope my lack of water marbling hasn't made it too rusty, I plan on trying it out when I have the time again!
