OPI Green & Holo Bronze Water Marble Nail Art Tutorial

[RoHoNat]

Last night I tried water marbling for the first time (it turned out okay, I could have done better) and I had a few questions. When you tape your finger, do you do one finger at a time or do all of them? Also, do you do the base color before or after you tape? Thank you so much! :)

[RoHoNat]

I just tried water marbling for the first time last night. (It turned out eh). I was wondering if you normally do the tape before of after you do the base color and do you tape one nail at a time or do you do all at once? Thanks! :)

[pajamasrule102]

[Akaliset27]

i would love to see a video of how you take care of your nails :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Akaliset27 check out my Nail Maintenance vid under the Tips & Tricks playlist =)

[16angel161]

i love this tutorial because i saw some spiral water marbles but i didn't manage to make them i think this one will work!!! love it! ♥

[Jezebel1115]

Wow! I think this is one my favorite water marbling that you have done. How would the look change if your base coat was green instead of the OPI DS Desire. I just read that you did not win. Well you should have, because all of you water marbling tutorials are creative and beautiful. Peace:)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Jezebel1115 I don't remember if I did any tests with a green base, but I think the holo would have shown a little darker rather than its true color =)

[Jezebel1115]

@SimpleLittlePleasues I checked out the winners and I seriously think you should have made the top 10.. The winners used 5 to 6 different colors and you used only 2, but using so many colors made the nails look messy. I really love the color combinations that you chose and can't wait to try it myself. I would wear this look for a special formal occasion. Keep up the great tutorials...they are very helpful. Peace:)

[Glendora2010]

i love this effect but i tried it today and either none of my polishes spread out or they spread and then retract back.  Any idea on what the problem could be?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Glendora2010 Are you using filtered water? Also keep in mind that not all polish works - 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 =)

[mimi2432]

So sorry you didn't win:(...your amazing at what you do. Keep it up! ;)

[MyZozzo]

I get my thoughts to charlie and the choccolatefactory, willy wonka and so on

when i see this marble :3

[pizzarockz123]

do you know where to buy opi nail polishes for less than $8.00 i really like water marbing but i dont like spending $8 for a bottle of nail polish

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@pizzarockz123 Well, sometimes you can get coupons for places like Ulta =) but there aren't very many places online that sell discount OPI anymore due to a lawsuit last year. Sometimes you can still find a site that sells them or on like ebay, but often that has HTF colors that are even more expensive...

[CorinaMinto]

Amazing! Very pretty too!

[CuteMakeupLover]

I love this!!

btw, this is WAAAAY better than the ones on fb...

[tiffles4492]

I love this!!

[lyc527]

This looks great, really love the color combination. Thanks!

[xMANOUKx]

i like the spiral design!!

[mebeluvined]

BEAUTIFUL♥

[bombastisch88]

i agree with browsugu =)

[gymnastchick509]

this is soo pretty!!!

[brownsugu]

YOUR DESIGNS ARE ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL! LOVE THEM =)

[MoonMunchkin7]

Hi there. Thank you so much, I had never seen water marbling before, you inspired me to try it on the weekend. I love it so much! I'm interested though, what base and top coats do you use?! Thanks!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MoonMunchkin7 The base coat I use right now is called Nail Life Gripper, or sometimes I use their ridge-filling formula. My favorite top coat is Seche Vite =)

[sameehasweet]

i like your nail very niceeeeee

[denetreah]

This design came out very pretty! I was finally able to complete a water marble design and they all came out pretty bright and fun. I will upload a video soon.... Thanks for all your great tutorials ;)

[sweetcharade518]

This is beautiful! I love it!

[brandnails]

beautiful as usual x

[talioness13]

Which color did u use for your base coat?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@talioness13 DS Desire =)

[Babie220]

This is so pretty. I'm glad you decided to enter this design because it could double as a fall theme which I hope the judges notice. Good Luck!

[blbl1st]

i try to watch ur vids on the same day but im always 1 day late:(

[jennys1983]

This is so gorgeous ... the green looks like it's floating above the holo :)

[SaraSidd]

So awesome! Good luck on the contest :o)

Nice work and thanks for posting,best wishes...

[MrMarycontraire]

very harry potter-ish! :) good job

[Adrienne82891]

love it! ahhhh! :))

[RavenSanDiablo]

hey... do you take requests?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@RavenSanDiablo I do .... although I can be very slow completing them =)

[RavenSanDiablo]

@SimpleLittlePleasues

well, if you could...

i've tried so many times too do water marble, and it never comes out right for me.

i dont know why, maybe i need more practice.... lol

but is there a way to do a Water Marble effect without using water?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@RavenSanDiablo yes actually - check out my Shades of Pink Drag Marble design, it is under the "Nail Art Tutorials" playlist on my channel. There are a couple of other designs that use the drag method also, it basically marbles the polish right on your nail =)

[TheCraftnut]

i love this design and the colors... and you are right.. they do look better than the other one you did.

[RiotDemon]

wow, nice combo

[lanyninaltna1191]

ooo Love this! I was wondering if you can use nailpolishes with shimmer in them! Deff trying this out this week! :)

[patita9234]

ive tryed doin this so many tim3s n i cant do it plz h3lp ! mine always dries very fast and i us3 filtered room temp wat3r

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@patita9234 well, you are using the right kind of water, so my olny advice is to keep trying different polishes - You want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying. HTH =)

[patita9234]

@SimpleLittlePleasues thanx :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@thecowgoesMOO8D There really isn't a best brand, each 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 =)

[yeymyquezada1979]

can you tell me where on FaceBook are they doing the contest water marble on O.P.I... thank you

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@yeymyquezada1979 OPIProducts is their Facebook account, but the contest actually ended on the 19th

[bloopypuruple97]

they're like PERFECT swirls!!! AWESOME!!!!!!

[rubyrig]

I loved these colours. This was a really good combo

you are really talented

[breathtaking09]

yo that is freakin awesome :)

[ohdangitsjenni]

what water marbling contest are you talking about? you said "their" contest...but im not sure who "they" are.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ohdangitsjenni OPI - they recently uploaded a tutorial to their YouTube channel, & they were hosting a challenge on their Facebook page =)

[chickenlikingood]

ur water marbeling is always so lovely. i tried for the first time yesterday and they turned out great. i used black and silver and my mom even wanted hers done heehe thanks alots for ur wonderful videos

[SalTndPepper2]

@chickenlikingood i was trying it too but it didnt work out as good as hers, how do you do it?

i think i only succeeded once in it, do you like hav any tips on how to do it?

[chickenlikingood]

@SalTndPepper2 well mine didnt have the precise patterns as hers as im still inexperienced. some of the nail polishes i have were too thick and didnt spread properly but nail polishes int he same brand that werent as thick did spread. also after using the same water for a few nails i changed the water because i found that the nail polish particles were blocking the np from spreading. and u have to make sure the water is not too chilly because mine got a bit cold at times and didnt wrk as well.

[tinas30]

how many times can you use one bottle of filtered water?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@tinas30 well, I get mine from a Brita pitcher, not a bottle, & I usually only use a cup for one manicure before dumping it =)

[JellyBean101978]

Do you do a voice over for your videos or talk while you do your water marble?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@JellyBean101978 I talk as I'm doing it =)

[SyntheticGhoul666]

I liked you on facebook :)

[Jinkun2702]

This is geeeeenius! I love that combo.

[EABray0]

Last night I tried to do a marble, which I've done before, but this time every nail came out a goopy mess. Do you have any idea why that might be?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@EABray0 if it goes kind of globby on the nail, you may be using a little too much polish - try using fewer drops =)

[EABray0]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Alright, thanks

[LdyCranky236]

Good Luck Wit da Contest.... N Luv Da Colors.... Especially Green!!!(⌒-⌒; )

[harpoonerism]

your videos and designs are always amazing, colette! hope you win the contest!

[1fairyprincess13]

those 2 colors together are gorgeous! beautiful colors

[starification]

Good luck with the contest!

[deebeemee100]

all the polishes i try never work :(

[lissahxox]

i like the design but for some reason i am not really a fan of the two colours together.. good luck though:)

[xKonfusionity]

A what stick? :/

[harpoonerism]

@xKonfusionity orange stick. it's made out of the wood from an orange tree. it's really useful for manicurists. :)

[loli79100]

CAN U DO IT WITH ANY NAIL POLISH LOVE YOUR VIDEO

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@loli79100 No - some sink or don't spread, some dry too fast. It takes a lot of trial & error to find the colors that work well =)

[RootsRunDeeep]

@SimpleLittlePleasues do you have like, a running list of the brands and/or nail polish that you find works best for marbeling that you've come across thus far?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@RootsRunDeeep not really - mostly because you can't tell just from the brand, every color even within 1 brand is different in the water =)

[mebebreann]

and also i hope u win!!!

[mebebreann]

can u do a nail polish collection videoo!!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mebebreann it's on my to-do list =)

[everybodylovesMakEup]

@mebebreann i agree! her subbiesdeserve to see it

[jillorscott21]

this effin hot! lovin the results!

[Glampagne]

I hope you win!

[sscuser]

do you have OPI "i'm Suzi and I'm a Chocoholic" because it i cant get it to spread i mean i can get the 1 drop but not the the ones in the middle, what should i do?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sscuser I don't have that particular color, but if you are using filtered water I would suggest keep trying different colors - it takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work well =)
