loosing my marbles...

Hello everyone in bloggin land, hope you all had an awesome xmas and are looking forward to a great new year!
So for xmas I ended up doing some water marbling designs in candy cane colours...
I have been avoiding doing water marbling for ages basically because i couldn't be bothered with all the preparation that has to go in...

But I maned up to the challenge and here are my candy cane nails...

You will need...

Cup of water
red and white polish
cocktail sticks
tape
top coat

So first tape up the  nails that you want to marble, leaving the nail exposed...

Take a few drops of the colours and one by one drop them into the center of the water...

Mix together with your cocktail stick and make your desired patterns, don't stir to hard, lightly drag he stick along the surface of the paint...

Dip you finger into the cup like so...

as you remove you finger be sure to clear away the rest of the nail polish that may be on the surface of the water with the stick.

remove tape and top coat ...done deal

Now this will look amazing the more you try, this is my first attempt and the look lame compared to others I have seen on the net, but first time for everything, I have done blue ones since and they look alot better!

If you have time and patience then this design is for you, as for me I'd rather be partying lol!
