Outrageously Orange Water Marble Nail Art Tutorial - Addicted to Color Series

[Caro14567]

I love your nails! How do you conserve them so beautiful? <3

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Caro14567 I keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I also take a biotin supplement – check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine. I do occasionally get a tear or break but you can check out my tutorial on silk wrap patching for how I save those nails =) I do "Naked Nails" posts on my blog every month or so where I talk more about like all the specific products I'm currently using.

[Caro14567]

@Caro14567 okie dokie:) thanxs

[michiem00]

i once tried to do water marbling, i made the bull's eye, and it looked really great, but then i didn't actually know how to put the tape on so it kind of ruined my nail when i tried to take it off. help??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@michiem00 check out the taping tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how I apply & remove it =)

[karenlee1977]

They look like FIRE! Awesome! I have tried this twice and keep getting tiny bubbles. Drives me nuts!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@karenlee1977 My 3 main tips to prevent bubbles would be: make sure there are none in the polish before you dip you nail (you can pop those), dip in & out slowly, and make sure to get rid of any water drops on your nail - if they won't drip or shake off, you can use the corner of a paper towel to absorb them. HTH =)

[aceofgrace7]

your videos have ispired me so much that im saving up all my money on nail polish that you used in your videos. I even looked at all your video info boxes and printed of all of the nail polish names and the tutorial titles.

[aceofgrace7]

where is the cheapest/best place to get nail polish?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@aceofgrace7 it depends what brand you're looking for - there are a lot of places online that have pretty similar prices =)

[TheSparklegirl06]

Do you have to use a white base coat of polish or could you use any color you like? Also could you even just use a clear base coat?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheSparklegirl06 You don't have to use white, but I always suggest some kind of base color or you design is likely to be very sheer =)

[zottelmischel]

Thanks

[bubblegumsplat13]

Do u have to dip two fingers in or can you just dip 1 ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@bubblegumsplat13 you can do 1 if you prefer - for me it just depends on what design I'm doing how many fingers I'll dip =)

[brrunks]

01:05 hey look that's a vagina

[star19amethyst]

Which brand of nail polish is the best u ever used?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@star19amethyst I don't think there is a best brand, base & top coat matter more for how long a manicure will last =)

[actingdreams1993]

@SimpleLittlePleasues What are your favorite base and top coats? Have you ever tried to use Essie nailpolish for water marbling? Are there certain brands that you have found work better for water marbling? And finally do you ever use quick drying top coats or oils? I always seem to screw up my nails, and I don't know how I do it :/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@actingdreams1993 there really isn't a best brand, every color is different in the water & it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well – the colors I use are always listed in the information box. You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying. =) for my base I use nail life gripper & for top coat seche vite =)

[FUNKYFUNNYFILMS]

hey, 1st of all amazing video

2nd i tried doing the marble but the nail polish seems to be less concentrated than yours

and it doesn't make a strong effect so what am i look for to be written on the nail polish bottle and what might i be doing wrong...thnx

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@FUNKYFUNNYFILMS are you using a base coat & color?

[rainbowsrock6165]

@SimpleLittlePleasues omg you replyed to someone when you have so many inboxes probaly! :DDD

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@rainbowsrock6165 well yeah LOL - I read all my comments & try to answer as many questions as I can =)

[rainbowsrock6165]

@SimpleLittlePleasues AHHH UR SO COOL IM ADDING YOU AS A FRIEND!

[Taima826]

Can u do this on fake nails?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Taima826 I haven't tried it, but it should be fine =)

[robluck89]

I need to grow my nails because their sooo short and look horrible so i hind them with false nails and nail polish to stop me bitting but i only bit them when i'm hungry or when i'm think and yet they are TINY!! it is so annnoying! xxx

[SuperLittlechiken]

I want to do this soooo bad, but when I tried the nail polish wouldn't spread out and when it did it got hard so fast that I couldn't make my design. What is the best brand of polish to use? Also, I had a hard time taping my nails. do they have to be longer to do this?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SuperLittlechiken Are you using room tempe filtered water? Also keep in mind not all polish works- the brand doesn't matter but every color is different & it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well. You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying. taping is the same for short nails- you can check out the taping tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how I apply it =)

[djk0106]

I love this it's beautiful I AMA trying

[robluck89]

how lond does it tak efor water marble to dry once it's on your nails or out of the water?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@robluck89 It’s mostly dry within a few minutes, then I use a quick-drying top coat =)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@reichelbrenner they don't really grow that fast, I just maintain them long =) there's no way to speed it up, you just have to take care of them as they grow

[missverogonzalez]

wait does it have to be hot water... plz reply

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@missverogonzalez no. I don't use hot water

[Stefhanie1002]

Is that your real nails.... ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Stefhanie1002 yes, my nails are natural =)

[MissEmilia100]

what you make it in

?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MissEmilia100 it's plain room temperature filtered water =)

[MissEmilia100]

@SimpleLittlePleasues no I meant what you make it in such a cup.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MissEmilia100 it's just a disposable paper cup =)

[juju55488]

where do you buy those icing nail polishes...they look just like china glaze bottles...are they a knockoff of china glaza?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@juju55488 they're from the store icing - although the bottles are nearly identical, they're not a knockoff, pretty much all the colors are different =)

[danothemano01]

can you do a rainbow water marble?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@danothemano01 I have done several =)

[nona99girl]

You can put Vaseline instead the tape , It works quickly and is easier

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@nona99girl It's been on my to-do list for a while now to do a comparison between taping & lotion or vaseline/chapstick etc, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Aside from the fact that it seems like it would be very messy, several viewers have told me that they can leave a residue in the water that makes it harder to do the next designs, which is why I've stuck with tape so far =)

[nona99girl]

@SimpleLittlePleasues

Nice but I did not suffer any problems with Vaseline

It seems that it’s works with me

but you should try it <3

[zooey90]

OMG I LOVE UR WATER MARBELING DESIGNSS!! But where do you get your sinful colors nailpolish because i dont see nay stores that sell it near me! THANKSS!! @SimpleLittlePleasures

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@zooey90 Sinful is available at Walgreens & some Target stores =)

[Tamarje81]

This is BEAUTIFUL FOR THE FALL!!

[Poppy900Girl]

@SimpleLittlePleasues All my nail polishes dry fast, do you recommend any brand or store( im uk ) because my nail polish sort of dissolves into the water

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Poppy900Girl I'm not familiar with what's available in the UK, but it just takes a lot of experimenting to find the colors that spread well & dry slowly =)

[Poppy900Girl]

@SimpleLittlePleasues I tried to water marble( im from the UK ) and it wont work. I used room temperature water and newly bought nail polish so i dont know what im doing wrong

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Poppy900Girl was the water filtered? Also keep in mind that not all polish works - the brand doesn't really matter but every color is different in the water & it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well. You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying. HTH =)

[4435430181]

Where do you come up with all these ideas ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@4435430181 they just come to me, I have more than I have time to even do =)

[boondogglecrazy54321]

Do you add anything to the nailpolish because I have to coax mine to drip. Also the first drop dries before I can get the others in.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@boondogglecrazy54321 no - only thing would be polish thinner if the polish is actually too thick to drip but it's really a matter of getting enough on the brush for it to drip - you do have to work very fast but some polish dries faster than others & it just takes trial & error to find the ones that dry slowest & work best =)

[Sugargliders1999]

Do you use a spacial polish for this or just normal nail polish???

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Sugargliders1999 it's normal polish, but not every color works =)

[AliciaKeegann]

AMAZING!

[HotPindakaas]

when you marble your nails the polish is already up because you need much polish for it!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@HotPindakaas it does use more than a normal manicure, but it's worth it =) & I have plenty to spare LOL - but if you are concerned, depending on the design you are going for you can dip 2 or 3 fingers at a time to save polish, also some designs use fewer drops

[watchme435]

i water marble except i do one color and done i still tape but my nails are short and all my polishes never spread ond the second layer

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@watchme435 sometimes even colors that each spread on their own don't work well together - you just have to keep trying different colors & different combinations =)

[Number1ChoChangFan]

What is the addicted to color series? Haha please excuse me, I'm always a bit behind on stuff.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Number1ChoChangFan each tutorial in the series is dedicated to specific color & using 5 different nail polish shades =)

[VintageBria]

Do u use room tempature water.?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@VintageBria yes, room temperature & filtered =)

[stinkycheese20]

thats so beautiful



[AwsomeGirl1120]

Do you have fake nails on or are they real

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@AwsomeGirl1120 my nails are natural =)

[xXBeautyTipLoverxX]

Can I Use AVON Nail Polish ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@xXBeautyTipLoverxX You can’t tell just by brand - the only way to know for any specific color is to try it =)

[jbrocks5434]

ur rlly good at water marble nail art!!! what made u start doing nail art??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jbrocks5434 I've always done my nails since I was young, I just like the colors & the designs =)

[gleek5582]

@SimpleLittlePleasures Thanks! your videos are amazing so helpful!!!!!!!! <3

[gleek5582]

Do your nails dry quickly when you take them out of the water? I want to try this but I don't have a lot of free time.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@gleek5582 It’s mostly dry within a few minutes, then I use a quick-drying top coat =)

[TheCaitlinElizabeth]

When are you doing the yellow mater marble???

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheCaitlinElizabeth either yellow or blue is next but I haven't had time to do any experimenting lately =)

[Countrytaymusic]

Seem so easy hut it's not.

[iJazzieJazz]

can u use a tooth pick as an orange stick?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@iJazzieJazz anything with a fine point will work =)

[0804oli]

proszę podajcie mi nazwę tych lakierów i gdzie ja je kupie podaje mój email aneta460@op.pl

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@0804oli kolory są wszystkie wymienione w polu informacje =)

[akuagumdrop728]

i tryd but mine diddnt go as well either it didnt spread orit sunk to the bottom or it dried right away wat kin do u have tha works best and were do you buy it????????????? hellp im so curious

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@akuagumdrop728 are you using filtered water? Some polish sinks because it’s too dense, other times it is from dripping it from too high up, try to stay close to the surface of the water. There really isn't a best brand, every color is different in the water & it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well. You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying. HTH =)

[netfullofshells]

I'm really a purple girl. People laugh when they see me in any other color b/c that's the first one I always go to. With that being said I LOVE LOVE LOVE this combo of colors!!!!! I'm going to try to do something intense that I'll probably kick myself for halfway through. Tomorrow I was planning on doing my acrylic nails again anyway but I want to do this water marble and then 'faux-naud' something over the water marble. Yeah I know - a lot of work but I think it will look awesome. Thanks!!!

[jblieber002]

r those ur real nails????

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jblieber002 yes =)

[jblieber002]

@SimpleLittlePleasues damn there some long ass nails srry for my language how do u grow them

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jblieber002 I try to keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I also take a biotin supplement – you can check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine. I do occasionally get a tear or break but you can check out my tutorial on silk wrap patching for how I save those nails =) I do "Naked Nails" posts on my blog every month or so where I talk more about like all the specific products I'm currently using.

[jblieber002]

@SimpleLittlePleasues i herd bout biotin but im not old enough to take those and thnx

[cherrie178]

ok thank you for you reply!

[DrummsA]

Do you thin out your nail polishes, so that they will flow better. I tried the marbling technique today, and wow it was difficult. I had a lot of problems with the polish not spreading, so I just poured the polish in the bowl; very heavy to get it spread. I used (OPI,,, not really a wait.../ Milani Orange), & Walmart Purified water and my hair tint bowl. It took my 2 hrs to get a simi orange/red whirl.. Any advise, I need help.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@DrummsA I don't thin my polish unles they're actually too thick to drip - the bowl might be part of the probem, polish seems to spread better in a small container but the main thing is just trial & error to find the best colors =)

[alexanickell]

where is the first video that shows the basics?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@alexanickell the vids for taping & clean up are unde the tips & tricks playlist, but the basics are just as I show in this vid =)

[CherryBlossom419]

Hello, can you do a blue water marble design? Blue is my favorite color and i'd like to see a nice water marble design (:

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CherryBlossom419 I'll eventually be doing every color in this series =) there is a blue & silver already up

[xxSuperPinkChickxx]

How do you get your filtered water room temp because my filter is in the fridge so it comes out freezing. How long should I leave it standing?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@xxSuperPinkChickxx I'd say at least an hour or so - our pitcher is always on the counter so it's not something I have to really worry about =)

[pinkisbrionyXx]

@xxSuperPinkChickxx -- mines in fridge too i left it out for 30-45 mins next to window ( sun) or next to a heater,, put your little finger in to check it xx

[SuperMoonman10]

What does room tempeture mean

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SuperMoonman10 not hot, not cold - same temp as the room =)

[cherrie178]

could u do a video making a multi-colored tip? p.s LUV THE VIDEOS very easy to follow

[InuKagndWolfsRaingrl]

@cherrie178 You could probably place the tape over all of your nail but the tip to get that look...

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@cherrie178 I do have a french tip drag marble, but it's been on my to-do list to do a water marbled tip =) it will probably still be a while since I just trimmed my nails

[BowChickaWowWow345]

Wow ur talented

[SingingFwends15]

Does it dry quickly?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SingingFwends15 It’s mostly dry within a few minutes, then I use a quick-drying top coat =)

[SingingFwends15]

@SimpleLittlePleasues oh and another thing... do u have to use a specific polish? some of my nail polish dont spead and it sinks to the bottom of my cup. Have any suggestions?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SingingFwends15 You can use any brand, although not every color works - Some polish sinks because it’s too dense, other times it is from dripping it from too high up, try to stay close to the surface of the water =)

[SingingFwends15]

@SimpleLittlePleasues oh and when i try to mke a design it sticks together how can i make tht stop?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SingingFwends15 It sounds like the polish is starting to dry – you either have to work faster or find colors that dry slower =)

[SingingFwends15]

@SimpleLittlePleasues alright, thx so much 4 the advice im sure everything will work out now.

[Whiterose1894]

@simplelittlepleasures does water marble work with artificial nails?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Whiterose1894 yes =)

[boboskele]

@simplelittlepleasures, my nail polish won't spread what should i do?!??!?!?!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@boboskele Are you using filtered water? Also keep in mind that not all polish works - the brand doesn't really matter but every color is different in the water & it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well. You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying. HTH =)

[TheBestShowOnEarth1]

@simplelilttlepleasures, ive tried so hard with tap water but it never works were can i get filterd water?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheBestShowOnEarth1 I get mine from a Brita pitcher =)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@hannahdohertyxx Most tap water is too hard & the polish will not spread as well – you can check out my water comparison under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see the difference =) it also has to do with the polish, not every color works

[klisterable]

it kinda reminds me of autumn leaves

[phatty739]

I just tried it and omg i love it. It wasnt perfect but with a few more tries and diff colours im sure il get it perfect..

[theKRMsisters]

do you have to use a tiny cup

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@theKRMsisters no, but the polish does seem to spread a little better =)

[bluebunny576]

Whenever i did it i put the polish in it spred i went to put a design in it and it was sticking to my tooth pick it was sticking and it was ripping my polish

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@bluebunny576 It sounds like the polish is starting to dry – you either have to work faster or find colors that dry slower =)

[Roseline225]

my water marbleing is coming out pretty i just bought 2 sally hansen colors called 36 carribean coral and 470 bubble gum pink and i my base coat is white i like sally hansen it spread out in the water so good thanks for the help now i kno which brand to buy and what water to use =]

[sweetnatti412]

OMG I just did a water marble design and it turned out but not how u do it!! I used filtered water and I experimented my colors and it didn't work very well!! HELP WANTED

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sweetnatti412 if your polish is spreading & not drying, then it just takes practice to be able to draw a good design =)

[Armywife1604]

i tried this water polish myself, with different colours, but i noticed that the polish doesnt spread as mcuh as yours does? it slighty spreads but not all the way. and i end up getting blobs ontop of blobs? would u be able to please tell me where im going wrong? :/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Armywife1604 Are you using filtered water? Also keep in mind that not all polish works - the brand doesn't really matter but every color is different in the water & it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well. You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying. HTH =)

[locakidd9]

what do you have covering your fingers???

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@locakidd9 It’s just tape – you can check out the taping tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how I apply it =)

[MsLeona1976]

That was really cool. I love the marble look. Is there an Icing store through out the us?:)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MsLeona1976 I think so, they are owned by the same company as Claires =)

[RawrrrImaEatYou]

@MsLeona1976 They have them at Malls.

I know there's one in the Wellington Green mall.

@UmutElpis um ... this is the whole process =) unless you mean the taping - there is a separate tutorial for that under the Tips & Tricks playlist

[CandyGalore143]

why and how do u put tape on ur fingers :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CandyGalore143 it keeps the polish off your skin - you can check out the taping tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how I apply it =)

[koolkitty713]

Do you have to use filtered water???

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@koolkitty713 Most tap water is too hard & the polish will not spread as well – you can check out my water comparison under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see the difference =)

[RayRaySparkles]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Are you a professional?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@RayRaySparkles no =)

[RayRaySparkles]

@SimpleLittlePleasues thanks for the reply, but you sound like one! (thats a compliment)

[sportscrazy26]

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sportscrazy26 I'll be doing every color eventually for the series =)

[lldemistarrll]

[rawr2560]
