Star of Bethlehem Water Marble Nail Art Tutorial

[MsNaenae2012]

thnx i luv ur vidz keep postin

[louetke]

Woa ! Amazing !

[BellaTwist]

some people put oil on there fingers to make it easier to come off, i ddnt have the thin tape around so i tried it... may tht be the reason why it was so watery looking

'

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@BellaTwist It's been on my to-do list for a while now to do a comparison between taping & lotion, oil 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 =)

[18dadus]

its beatiful :-)

what's in your water please?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@18dadus nothing added - it's plain room temperature filtered water =)

[chowmysister1]

the star doesnt work for me,when i try ro make the star smaller the nail polish doesnt move :/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@chowmysister1 it won't work with all polish - it needs to be very liquid & dry even slower than most for marbling =)

[chowmysister1]

@SimpleLittlePleasues thanx ill try that :)

[DahnlovesBrokeNCYDE]

amazing!



[angelmeza2001]

this is such a great design!! I'm totally doing this design!!

[kilthinian]

GENIUS!!!! When I saw the design i was like "how do you do that with water marble?" so i looked and wow, was that worth it! you are a GENIUS

[loveearoma]

OMG this is so beatiful. I hav never seen nail marbelling as awesom u do them. thanks for a lovely vid....

[muriaal]

this is too awesome ...

[1237am]

thank you so so much !! <3

[SineadxFay]

that is so beautiful!

[ladynightwhisperer]

have you ever used glitter polish with the marble proses

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ladynightwhisperer a couple times, although many of them don't work well =)

[1237am]

can i dip a few fingers in at once ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@1237am yes, it all depends on the design you're doing =)

[parkbtao]

very creative and the design is beautiful! but it takes too much nail polish...

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@parkbtao 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

[IcyYukiz]

WOW THATS SO COOOOOL

[duckygirl605]

I watch a lot of nail art videos but this is the first time I have seen the water marble done this way, I didn't even know it was possible, I am really excited to try it now and experiment with different colors. I think its such a great idea that can be used even when it isn't Christmas, great job!!

[viridianaalvarez]

That's amazing... All I knew is that we could do with marble designs with swirls but this changes all :D

[MrHern5]

ахренеть...

[jontur]

why filtered water?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jontur because most tap water is too hard & the polish will not spread as well. Bottled is also usually OK as long as there are no additives. You can check out my water comparison under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see the difference =)

[jontur]

@SimpleLittlePleasues thank you :), your tutorials are amazing! :)

[jolyay]

can i make this designe on short nails?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jolyay yes =)

[aparker2002]

This is just about the coolest thing Ive EVER seen!!! Water marbling is neat but specific design looks amazing!

[lailaraees]

just go ahead and...

[Mangogirl10156]

kewl



[xxWolfyBabyxx]

This is so awesome! I need to try this! :D

[paintedchestnut]

when i put my orange stick in the water to draw out a design, all the polish goes straight to it and i cant draw. (like at the end where you clean up around your nail...it does that when i draw my design) help? im using room temp faucet water because i dont have access to filtered fyi.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[Autopsygurl]

Wooow that is sooo cool, perfect!:)

[Jaboor420]

what type of neil polish spreads properly.. i have som problem with the spreading...thnx

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Jaboor420 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. HTH =)

[MultiLynn84]

kool

[piggigirl1]

Why do you call it an Orange Stick? Why not just a pencil?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@piggigirl1 because it's not a pencil - an orange stick is a wooden manicure tool, basically a long pointy stick like a big toothpick =)

[SevaUrek]

it's really good idea but it's easier to paint a star with a nail brush I think because it's a wasting of polish..BUT I REALLY LOVE THE VID.THANK YOU

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SevaUrek I don't think my hand is steady enough to do that many straight lines - plus I have plenty of polish to spare LOL

[SevaUrek]

@SimpleLittlePleasues give me your polishes =)

[CloeJohn410]

Can u Plz make Blue and yellow? :) 

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CloeJohn410 I'll add it to my request list =)

[SnuWolf412]

could a toothpick work instead of an orange stick? :3

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SnuWolf412 you can use anything with a fine point =)

[skoolsuxalot]

dayumm that's ingenious!!!

[Rihamoooo]

are you sure using water won't effect the polish itself or the brush?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Rihamoooo generally you don't put the brush in the water - the polish should just drip off =)

[kaceykat28]

you are amazing! i tried this at home and it came out kinda brownish purple.

[kaceykat28]

at 1:15 i thought u were doin spiderman in negative or somethin

[BunnyNinjaGirl]

can you do purple and gold?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@BunnyNinjaGirl I'll add it to my request list =)

[kovo123]

Its so pretty!

[OneOfAKindMakeup]

Just noticed her username is SimpleLittlePleasues not SimpleLittlePleasures .

[meowspots]

that is the coolest thing ever!

[Leopardgirl67]

wow, i LOVE this design, its beautiful :O)

[aileen09lebeng]

this is awesome! i absolutely love your videos! :)

[jonnyandquinn]

how many ppl ask where you got them done??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jonnyandquinn not many really, most of my co-workers know I do my own =)

[jonnyandquinn]

@SimpleLittlePleasues hmmm kool! i just tried it and it looks great!! thank you!

[79raina]

THis was very nice!!!! Happy New Year!

[XLunaMorriganX]

Nice!!! I like it!

[EMBERisHOT]

i just wonder, should i use the same brands of polish or i can experiment on other brands? i just wonder if there are something special on your nil polish... i live in the philippines and imported brands would cost me so much :((( thanks in advanced for your answer :))

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@EMBERisHOT you can use any brand of polish, but not every color works =)

[EMBERisHOT]

@SimpleLittlePleasues oh yeah, i see i tried that when i came home yesterday, unfortunately, my nail polish can't do it :((((

[qhrani0]

يا الله والفضاوه اللي فذي الحرمه ليلش طوييييييييييييييييييييل

[SAHMMilitaryWife]

That is SO Awesome! ;)

[chipsndip33]

Do I have to have a oarnge stick?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@chipsndip33 anything with a fine point will work =)

[LabelMeCreative]

You're so creative!!!

[arianneandrade1]

Perfect! :O

[Foshobabii8364]

Beautiful!!!



[BellaDonna0912]

So cute

[miabella555]

Are your nails real? Sorry this is kinda a lame comment. Whatevs I'll live.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@miabella555 yes, my nails are natural =)

[Kriebebe]

Your designs are absolutely beautiful! I enver thought doing something like this is possible. I am definitely going to be trying it out at some point. Fantastic!

[xUxDontxKnowxMex]

Looks so easy when you do it. I always mess up xD

[amyareeart]

You are a Genius!!!

[piepie123987]

Do you have to paint silver on your nail or can you do blue?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@piepie123987 you can use blue, but the colors will look slightly different on top of that =)

[thetubeingtubster93]

this is my favorite one!

[FCACheermom]

Also wanted to ask if there is a certain brand of polish you think is better than another... I see you use China Glaze & I have had a little luck with some of their polishes but I noticed when you did the poinsettia tutorial, i didnt recognize the polish bottle...

[MaudeLexiieParker]

@FCACheermom All my sally hansen polishes have worked so far :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@FCACheermom 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. HTH =)

[FCACheermom]

U videos are amazing!!! I am a licensed manicurist & I was having a hard time with this method!! I def think that watchin your videos will help me with this!! Thank you for sharing!!! Caznt wait to watch all of them!!!!!

[gorgeousbronze]

Makes me want to become a manicurist again.

[LoLo10872]

so pretty but all that ppolish wasted

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@LoLo10872 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

[iMisstakeN]

do u have to use tape for this

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@iMisstakeN it's not required but it's much messier without it =)

[iMisstakeN]

@SimpleLittlePleasues ok thank u

[LoveDeeDee23]

Ok u got me loving this type of nail work..I tired it and made a mess everywhere and was only able to do one nail lol but I got lots of comments on that one nail lol

[stanman2005]

LOL I'm sorry I did not realize i am on my son's account lol

[stanman2005]

yes that is exactly the problem the polish would not spread

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@stanman2005 Are you using room temperature 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 =)

[WhoaSnapItsAudrey]

Mine looks like marijuana ;DD

[FullMoon272]

@WhoaSnapItsAudrey You just made my day XD

[WhoaSnapItsAudrey]

@FullMoon272 Ohohoho, yay! [:

[FullMoon272]

@WhoaSnapItsAudrey haha c:

[papukas102]

@WhoaSnapItsAudrey good for 420 lol

[ssshaffstall]

do filtered water matter



[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ssshaffstall yes - most tap water is too hard & the polish will not spread as well. Bottled is also usually OK as long as there are no additives. You can check out my water comparison under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see the difference =)

[ToxicPanda69]

Its only December 19th.. 

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ToxicPanda69 ? this is from last year

[ToxicPanda69]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Oh LOL. i did'nt notice , i thought the youtube clocks where broken. Or that you lived very far where you're 2 days ahead of me ,Sorry hehe.

[DanaDaniela]

ive given up trying water marbling :/ i can never seem to find a polish that works good for it or maybe im just doing it wrong, anyways its just a waste of nail polish for me :(

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@DanaDaniela Are you using room temperature 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 =)

[TheKimmy0987]

wat water do you use i tried the water marbling 100 times but it never comes out right can you plz make a video with some great tips i really need it thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheKimmy0987 room temperature filtered water =) there really aren't any other tricks except a lot of trial & error to find the best polish

[GlazeQueen]

wow i never knew about this technique....

[Shyreeta21]

you are very creative with this marbling stuff. i wish i could get it to work just once for myself :(

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Shyreeta21 Are you using room temperature 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 =)

[Shyreeta21]

@SimpleLittlePleasues I definitely think it's the polish that's giving me trouble. I'll pick a few colors out of my stash & 1 will spread & the others won't. Then if I can get it to spread, the whole thing sticks to the pick when I drag it through. IDK if the polish is drying too quick or if I'm not dragging deep enough. Plus I'm using a toothpick instead of an orange stick...u think that might be adding to it?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Shyreeta21 you may actually be dragging too deep - you want to just drag across the surface of the polish =) anything with a fine point will work

[MrSassypants123]

will the tape work with normal cellotape? xx thanks for this its amazing

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MrSassypants123 I always just use scotch tape but any kind should work =)

[MrSassypants123]

@SimpleLittlePleasues ok thank yhoo. i had much trouble doing mine :/ xx haha thanks for the great tutorial but unfortunately i have very small nails and i just don't think it works :) xxx

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MrSassypants123 if you have short nails you just get less of the design, so it's very important where you dip your nail - check out my short nails marble with my mom as hand model for some tips =)

[MrSassypants123]

@SimpleLittlePleasues also do you know why perhaps the vaenish doesnt spread out aswell and goes like skinn? xx

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MrSassypants123 Are you using room temperature 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 =)

[MrSassypants123]

@SimpleLittlePleasues how do you get the room temperature water? i think you are amazing and really helpful i would like to stay in touch with your channel they are all really pretty nail arts.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MrSassypants123 it doesn't have to be exact, I usually just recommend to leave it out where you will be working for an hour or so =)

[MrSassypants123]

@SimpleLittlePleasues ok thank yhoo xx

[BrainOfsteel]

I think this would be just as easy to do with a silver striper instead of having to do a marble of it. But it looks awesome! Love your tutorials <3

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@BrainOfsteel if you have a steady enough hand, yes =)

[OhDearHoney]

It's amazing!

[delzirockz]

THAT IS SO COOL!!

[zottelmischel]

Thanks and Happy Christmas

[kutekrazynails]

Stunning, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and God Bless You

[missjennifer9]

excuse me how do u set the water to the rite temperture

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@missjennifer9 I recommend just leaving it out where you'll be working for an hour or so =)

[missjennifer9]

@SimpleLittlePleasues ok thank you so much!!!!! :>

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@LabelMeHappi yes, a small flexible one =)

[bbgglover85]

@SimpleLittlePleasure which one spread easily? tap water or room-temperature water?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@bbgglover85 I always use room temperature filtered water =)

[fiordilotto]

Meravigliosamente fantastico!!!!!

[Dangerica4you]

Damn that's a lot of nail polish

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Dangerica4you 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

[Dangerica4you]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Is not more saving if you apply the base polish then you make the design with a very tight brush ?:) :D

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Dangerica4you well yes, if your hands are that steady =)

[Amydali86]

These water marble nails are so neat. Looking forward to trying it.

[elegantsophia]

is it special kind of  nail polish you have to use?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@elegantsophia no - it's normal polish, although not ever color works =)

[navaldez]

Love it

[dthsythehell]

for some reason i can never get any of the water art to work :( ive tried room temperature tap water, distilled, etc and none of the polish i use diffuses like yours does. i only ever use china glaze or OPI and they refuse to work :( :( any ideas why?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@dthsythehell I always get my filtered water from a brita pitcher - a couple other things is not everyone's room is the same temp, mine is usually mid-70's. The size of the cup matters also, polish seems to spread better in a small cup - & last is that not every polish works, it can take a lot of trial & error to find colors that spread well =)

[AGothicSilverStar]

I love your water marble vids! I just tried it for the first time, it's pretty hard! :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@LabelMeHappi they’re available most places that sell polish, usually stocked near the files & clippers =)

[Chocostars]

I think this is the coolest water marble I have ever seen!

[CrystalLovinMakeup]

You are so creative, that is gorgeous...gotta try it! Thank you!

[JlynGoh]

This is nice,where did you get the idea from?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@JlynGoh I read about it on several blogs before trying it myself =)

[yurika456]

Genius

[YenieD13]

i saw someone use vasaline to cover her fingers instead of tape. have you tried or heard about that? if so what did you find was easier?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@YenieD13 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 =)

[skul1276]

Does anyone know about how to put the tape around the nail is there a specific way, or any idea...I tried and I couldn´t do it, looks so easy but it was hard :(

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@skul1276 you can check out the taping tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how I apply it =)

[skul1276]

@SimpleLittlePleasues THANK YOU SO MUCH, I SAW THE ANSWER IN MY PHONE AND I COULDN´T ANSWER UNTIL NOW HERE, ;)

[mecka43]

@skul1276 You can just rub some Vaseline around your fingers. :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mecka43 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.

[mecka43]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Oh I can see that it would do that. I should try it out. I've done it with tape and it was very frustrating for me so I'll try both. :)

[skul1276]

@mecka43 THANK YOU SO MUCH ;)

[mecka43]

@skul1276 Whatever works best for you :)

I don't remember what I said and I can't find my previous comment. :(

Did you try it?

I hate wasting a lot of tape.

[skul1276]

@mecka43 haven´t tried yet, I´ve been very busy but also I have to go to the right place to find good colors ;)

[mecka43]

@skul1276 Well good luck! :)

[MusicnLyrics121]

wow!! so cool :)

[cakkola]

woooooooooooo uno dei piu belli!

[pb695]

is mineral water filtered water? dont really get what is considered as filtered water
