Christmas Swirl Water Marble Tutorial

[ZermeenSajiiid]

WHHHHHOOOHOOOO! :D

My water marbling is workiiiing!

*HAPPYDANCE*

[LovesTheWarriors]

Do you know how to make a Zebra print water marble?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@LovesTheWarriors my stripe design would probably work with black & white =)

[citareccos]

I have seen a lot of comments about them spreading out. I just got good at this. Doni thought I might give u guys some help. For me I had to do this a few times before it spreads out. Ad a few from about 3-4 seperate times. The polish gets worked in and it's betrayer. Don't use warm water. It dried it much faster. If u have to let the water get to the right temp. Let it sit out for ten minutes. Last. Use two or three drops. Make sure they are fairly new. If they are old they could be too thi

[Liekxx]

You're my hero!

[CourtneePCG]

@thegirlfreak101 you have to get into the speed of going faster while putting in the drops. dont let it sit for to long or it will start to dry.

[thegirfreak101]

When I do this my nail polish turns into this plastic layer type thing and it won't let the other drops expand please help!

[RobloxQueenXx]

@thegirfreak101 You might have blown in the water..... :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@thegirfreak101 It sounds like the polish is starting to dry – you either have to work faster or find colors that dry slower =)

[peacepolish]

did you got to beauty school are you a nail tech did you learn in makeup? plz respond

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@peacepolish no, I didn't go to school - it's just my hobby =)

[starzmusic123]

looks cool



[xrandomsmilyfacex]

It's easier if you blow on the polish before you clean it up xxxx:)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@xrandomsmilyfacex I do if really necessary, but it comes across very loud on camera =)

[kamila2118]

wow! cool!

[lildrummergirl12]

What do you use around your nails?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lildrummergirl12 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 =)

[Shreyaa129]

How do you know which color to prep your nail with before dunking it into the cup?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Shreyaa129 I always do some testing before I start =)

[SuperForeverUS]

cool



[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@hipsteritoutt 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

[14VikiX]

why does the design look like there only red , green , and purple on you're nail and it seems like there is no white on you're nail , is that just you're camera ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@14VikiX no - in this one the red & white bled together. it can be hard especially with white to keep the colors from mixing =)

[TheCheekyMonkeyEmily]

If it got on your skin what would it do ? xx

[snowgirl721]

@TheCheekyMonkeyEmily Nothing, it's not toxic. You just have to get nail polish remover and take a cotton ball dip it into the remover and clean your nail up :) Hope this helped! :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheCheekyMonkeyEmily even with tape some gets on your skin - I use a brush dipped in acetone for what's left after the tape is removed – you can check out the clean up tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how =)

[pinkybabyforever2]

....

[MrSassypants123]

what you call i think u said an orange stick..? what is it? xxxx

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MrSassypants123 an orange stick is a wooden manicure tool, basically a long pointy stick like a big toothpick – you can use anything with a fine point =)

[xLuvToSing]

Omg. I just realized her youtube is Simple Little Pleasues instead of pleasures

[MsLilacLover1]

I tried water marbeling 2 days ago. UGH lol I wanted to pull my hair out. I used water temp. filtered water. I definatly need to work on it and go through all my polishes. Alot of them just dropped like a ball at the bottom of the bowl, and some dry so fast in the water too. I'm not giving up on this lol

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MsLilacLover1 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 =) other than that just lots of trial & error to find the best colors

[018Maddy]

Can i use this for new year? only with different colors. =)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@018Maddy you can use any colors you like that work in the water =)

[SophieAndJoy]

can u do a candy cane tutorial??? i would love to see that!!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SophieAndJoy I just recently uploaded one, check out my channel or the water marble playlist =)

[takeitorleaveit304]

lol 1:40 thats what she said 

[coriJonas]

I did this a few weeks ago and don't think I'll do it for awhile, LOL! not because I didn't like it or anything, but because I'm pretty sure i got high off the fumes.. Lol! Thanks for the video it helped!!!

[LexiRaeB]

Can you tell me what nail brands spread well?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@LexiRaeB 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 =)

[Leslie174]

Do you have any videos showing how to do more than one nail at a time?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Leslie174 yes, several - including my most recent candy cane marble =)

[Jewellzify]

Do you have to use a base nail polish before doing the water marbling or can you use just the naked nail?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Jewellzify it’s not required, but I always recommend a base coat & also a base color because it helps the marble colors be more opaque & vibrant =)

[stvway1006]

do you have another christmas add/channel/video/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@stvway1006 yes, there's a Christmas playlist on my channel - I'll add the link in the info box too =)

[glueify1]

ok well my water tends to harden faster so what type of water do you use? I need help!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@glueify1 I always use room temperature filtered water =)

[mica022]

Cute!!! 

[OklahomaBabyG]

i will have to try it out and I will let you know! Is there anyway you could do a video on how to do zebra stripes, if you know how to do those.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@OklahomaBabyG the stripe pattern I used in my candy cane marble might work, but usually for animal print I just use Konad =)

[OklahomaBabyG]

No way! They look like you had them done! Do you think this would work with acrylic or just the ones you glue on? I tend to bite my nails if they aren't done lol!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@OklahomaBabyG I haven't tried it myself but it should work fine on false nails also =)

[OklahomaBabyG]

Do you go get your nails done at a salon then do your own design, do you do the acrylic yourself, or are they even acrylic nails?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@OklahomaBabyG my nails are natural =)

[CameronMaude]

you've gotten so much better at this since then!! :)

[hmhk1998]

if you dont clean around it when you pull the nail out it ill get thoughs other designs on it and one on top of the other looks really bad.

[neesharocky1]

hi i have two questions:

1. Why do you have to clean up before you take your nail out?

2. How long does it take to dry?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@neesharocky1 if you don't clean up the excess, it can stick to your nail & ruin the design. It’s mostly dry within a few minutes, then I use a quick-drying top coat =)

[teffanescence77]

I LOVE YOU!

[bubblebabble15]

hoorey, now i can make my fingers look like shit for hannukah

[Esmeraldalovesyou1]

ok why is it called an orange stick if its not orange....???

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Esmeraldalovesyou1 they used to be made from orange wood =)

[FouzulHidhaya]

@Esmeraldalovesyou1 b'coz it is made of orangewood.. .

[kingbaby99]

How do you know if the polish will spread? I've tried some of mine and none of the worked.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@kingbaby99 it's all trial & error =) also are you using room temperature filtered water?

[kingbaby99]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Yeah. Is there any specific brand I could use?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@kingbaby99 you can use any brand of polish, but not every color works =)

[TheNaturelover123]

@kingbaby99 Tip : you have to use fresh polish sometimes old polishes dont work

[MsSweetgreenpea]

@tarantula9200

I used that brand too it rocks so good:D

[Mandie8636]

I love ur manicures! I am getting into nail swirl art! Here is a tip to help get the nail polish up from the surface faster! Blow on the top of the cup so the nail polish dries faster and you can pick it up in one swoop! Hope this helped! (:

[brittanybrownie]

does it use alot of polish? or less than when you actually paint your naiils?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@brittanybrownie 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

[tarantula9200]

I tried water marbling a bunch of times, and it never worked out. The polish woolly spread. Untill I tried a different polish. Sally Hansen extreme wear, with room temperature water. I was so happy it worked! Now I'm eager to try a bunch of these great designs!!!!!

[jlove0601]

how do u use room water

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jlove0601 to make it room temperature, just leave it out where you'll be working for an hour or so =)

[wendypenny123]

can u make a birthday one?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@wendypenny123 I have a few that I've done for my own birthday already & more of a birthday themed look on my request list =)

[mrslias11]

Everytime i try to do this the nail polish dries :/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mrslias11 then you either have to work faster or find colors that dry slower =)

[alliegirl75]

love your design! I water marbling. I think I am going to try this design. Thanks for the great idea! :)

[noonoonails]

This is really pretty.xx you are amazing at water marbling.x your videos are so good I can't stop watching them! Xx

[ninjakailee]

Ugh mine never work :( and I use filtered water

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ninjakailee also keep in mind not every color works, it can take a lot of trial & error to find the best ones =)

[Emmawatso6]

are your nails real and why do you sound so bored??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Emmawatso6 yes, my nails are natural =) & I'm not bored, just tired

[Boudica999]

So pretty and i do love the colour combination

[Betty1640]

Hei, I love the tutorial and I tried to do it, but i used nail lacquer polish and it didn't work. What kind of Polish do I have to use??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Betty1640 you can use any brand but not all colors work =) also are you using room temperature filtered water?

[Betty1640]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Thankyou! I hadn't tried with filtred water, but I'm gonna try! thanks :D

[baxterbooiloveyou]

it doesn't look that good. :( not affence

[pancakes973199]

and if you dont kno wat i mean by clean up process i mean this part 1:25

[pancakes973199]

if its hard at the clean up process blow on the top of the surface so the polishes dry faster :]

[ducttapequrl99]

HOW DO YOU GET YOUR COLORS TO SPREAD SO EASILY AND GET A LOT OF RINGS? mine seem to be like 3 or 4 rings at max

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ducttapequrl99 part is using the filtered water, the rest is just experimenting to find the best colors =)

[BamItsSim]

@ducttapequrl99 I think she puts clear nail polish to start it off. try that.

[musicfuelsmysoul]

to make it dry faster u have to blow 5 to 10 seconds then it will work better

[Missnailtutorial]

oooh that green is perfect!!! what is it??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Missnailtutorial I don't remember offhand but it's listed in the information box =)

[DoubleAShowaanda]

My finger nails r short so will that still work?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@DoubleAShowaanda yes - 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 =)

[4everrrangel]

Whats let it snow day

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@4everrrangel it's a big collab set for december 5th =)

[4everrrangel]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Like each person does there own tutorial on the same day?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@4everrrangel yes =)

[jjlovesred]

Mine NEVER works, I tried 6 times. I fail. Ant tips?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jjlovesred 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 =)

[alienfriends321]

i love your designs!!!!!!there so cute

[MissNoraF]

A tip is to blow on the water, and THEN remove the polish! If you do that it's easier to collect the polish on the water!

[lvbrown1216]

This is great! No matter how hard i try i always get air bubbles. Please help!!!!!!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lvbrown1216 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 =)

[ameliarox664]

Why is it pink when you pulled out your finger...instead of white?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ameliarox664 the red & white polish tend to blend together =)

[AJlovesbeauty]

after putting your finger in blow on the water so the excess nail polish dries and you will be able to pick it up better! <3 ~AJ

[GellyRolll]

What temperture is the water? and what type of water? can it be faucet or distilled? room tempertured?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@GellyRolll I always use room temperature filtered water from a Brita pitcher =)

[purplezebra2000]

@SimpleLittlePleasues What is room temp. like what is the degrees?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@purplezebra2000 it doesn't have to be exact - my room is probably usually in the mid 70's

[Godlim17]

@saxophonista4 I think the red sort of looks like purple, on the edge of it and the white. But only the white has that sort of pinkish tone. I wonder how you could get a more pronounced separation of the colors. Maybe a clear nail polish in between...? Not sure.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@saxophonista4 if the red is showing purple I'd say something is off with your monitor settings =)

[YummyDubbleBubble]

Were do you get the orange stick????

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[kilthinian]

how do you get it to spread so nicely ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@kilthinian part of it is using the right water, the rest is all finding the polish that works best =)

[kilthinian]

@SimpleLittlePleasues oh, ok, thanks

[Domolshyz]

It look so nice!!!

[AlyssaBarrett1]

Danggggggg....Omg thats soo pretty :D

[xedinax2]

IT DOUSNT WORK ON MEE !!! WHYY ??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@xedinax2 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 =)

[poppygeist0792]

that is so cool

[chloettr7]

Hi What can you do if you dont have a white nail polish

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@chloettr7 you can use other colors but it will change the final look =)

[lacangri71]

hhehe it's true :)

[lacangri71]

I love the colors! One thing I've watched in a video here is that before cleaning the remaining paint from around your finger, first blow for 5 seconds the water, the colors will get dry and will be much easier to get them off around the finger. I just love water marbling!!!!!! :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lacangri71 I will blow if it takes a very long time to dry, but not usually when recording because it comes across too lound since my camera is so close =)

[parneetmalik]

Hey.. Hw r u doin??? So i have just discovered this technique n i absolutly love love live it... N i'v tried couple of tymes bt it diesnt come up right...:-( .. I m takin room temp filtered water.. First of all my nail paints dont spread good.. Will it work better if i use a thinner nail paint?? Ne criteria??? N is it necessary to start dragging from the inside of the bull's eye alwaz??? Pls reply...

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@parneetmalik it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the colors that work best - it can be easier to start in the middle because that polish has had the least time to dry =)

[clutzberries]

do u use like a q-tip dipped in nail polish remover to get rid of the excess nail polish around the nails after u peel of the tape after its dry?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@clutzberries I use a brush dipped in acetone for what's left after the tape is removed – you can check out the clean up tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how =)

[m4malo]

I really enjoy seeing you do your nails! You do it like a professional.

[Kittyprahm]

reminds me of candy canes

[bellafroggy]

love this!!!!!!!!!!! x

[PrettyGirl0805]

I failed i messed up on water marbaling.

[luvfritz2009]

it doesnt rlly look christmasy because part of it became pink

[bloggerchantalle13]

Becouse now i'm trying it, but it doesn't work..:(

Do you've got some extra tips?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@bloggerchantalle13 Are you using room temperature filtered water? Other than that it's just 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 =)

[bloggerchantalle13]

Do you need special nailpolish for this?

Really cool!

I love it!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@bloggerchantalle13 it's normal polish, although not every color works =)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@IcyxPetal 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 =)

[MsBasketball2000]

How come this nail polish spreads out really well??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MsBasketball2000 part is the filtered water, the rest is just these particlar colors =)

[shellyrl]

Hi! I've tried doing watermarble nails at home, and on a few tries the nailpolish sat blown up and puffy on my nail instead of flat. What was I doing wrong?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@shellyrl like bubbles or like thick polish? if it's thick polish, just use fewer drops - 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 off, you can use the corner of a paper towel to absorb them. HTH =)

[Star101Ali]

thanks i guess i should have know that before i mess up my moms nail by experimenting on her lol but thanks SimpleLittlePleasues

[Star101Ali]

i tried doing that but i didntvwork do you have any tips?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Star101Ali 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.

[PurpleGrapes2010]

Omg!!!! :D I would die to see you in person your amazing!!!!!!!! I'm your biggest fan! :). I love your nail art work your pure genius!!! ;)

[iamreyas]

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[igotojapanyay]

I LOVE YOUR VIDS

AWESOME

[rachelheartsdrama]

Can I use any kind of stick?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@rachelheartsdrama yes, anything with a fine point =)

[Sugarplume5]

is color club french tip very opaque?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Sugarplume5 yes =)

[abbigailangel841]

why dont u blow on the water, some the nail polish on the top will dry and it would be easier to clean up

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@abbigailangel841 it's not usually necesary =) & distracting I'd think in a vid

[Blanka0021]

What kind of water: hot, cold or mineral?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Blanka0021 room temperature filtered water =)

[Blanka0021]

What paint can I use?? I have several varnishes, are new but my do not want to melt!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Blanka0021 You can use any brand, but not every color works =)
