Water Marbling Nail Art Tutorial on Short Nails

[LiLyMoOnCaKeSxo]

P.S. This is SO pretty! :oD

[LiLyMoOnCaKeSxo]

I hope no one in your house noticed that a shot glass was missing! lol I use an old salsa jar. ;o) <3

[FriendlyFriends101]

I tried it and it worked!!!! Also, Pink and white together are really cute!!!

[shigawo4299]

how do u make it look so easy?

[SilverOakStables101]

What nail polish remover do you use?

[IndigoNova1]

@SilverOakStables101 The best I've used is OPI acetone free, but it costs a fortune and smells awful so I've been trying cheaper ones.......none of them are great so far. I always try and use acetone free tho, it's kinder to your skin and brushes :)

[emmalauren95]

At 2:05 I felt like saying 'ATTACK'! lol

[IndigoNova1]

@emmalauren95 Lmao...the nail polish MUST be conquered!

[Blairebear011]

Most of the time if it didnt work, it just means that your water is either too hot or too cold. Room temperature is suuuuper important... otherwise it doesnt settle properly or it just sinks to the bottom. Using newer polish also works better than older polish that has thickened.. just a couple suggestions :)

[Fionaphilomena]

i didn' work on my nails..:(

[MariaNailArtShow]

i didnt work for me

[MariaNailArtShow]

I DIDNT GET IT RIGHT IT DIDNT WORK!

[RadiantLife92]

cute design

[MsBand10]

it wont work i got nail polish cold water from the sink and tried but it didn't work!!!

[IndigoNova1]

@MsBand10 Room temperature water works much better than cold, and try bottled water instead of tap water. Also, you have to experiment with polishes cause not all will work :)

[1208mskiki]

I love this vid. Valentines day is coming up so im going to try it. Hopefully it works my nails are a little small... Lol

[IndigoNova1]

@1208mskiki It should work fine, its one of the few designs that'll work on teeny tiny nails, lots of luck with it and happy Valentine's Day :)

[meeraaa1818]

did you used tissue to wrap around your nails?

[IndigoNova1]

@meeraaa1818 sticky tape :)

[108rr]

@meeraaa1818 its tape:)

[janebandit]

do i have to use mineral water?

[IndigoNova1]

@janebandit Nope, but I find that the polish spreads better in it than in tap water...just experiment and see what works for you in your area :)

[TheKpopAwesome]

Aww, i think my nails are shorter and shorter than this...

i can't find vid. that has my nail size.. -___- Lmao... i think my nails are the most shortes nail in the whole world.... Laaah~ but i think not!!! Btw, this vid. is awesome. :)

[IndigoNova1]

@TheKpopAwesome My nails are super short right now too, there isn't even any white on the ends their so little lol

[TheKpopAwesome]

@IndigoNova1 hehe !

[KoraLynne]

Great idea....a shot glass so the colors won't spread as much :)

[IndigoNova1]

@KoraLynne Yeah, I started using it cause I hate how much polish you waste in a cup, so it's really good for using just a few drops :)

[maxisgirl64]

That is really cool! How long do you keep your fingernail in the water/nailpolish? Thanks! What colors did you use in the green marbling? :)

[IndigoNova1]

@maxisgirl64  I only keep my finger in long enough to clean up the excess polish...and the polishes used are listed in the description box :)

[Glitzygirl1091]

Beautiful! :)

[IndigoNova1]

@Spartania13 Really? Huh....got no idea why that would happen......maybe if you watch a few of SimpleLittlePleasues water marble videos you'll pick up a few tips, that's how I learned to do it :)

[mackiemcrackie53]

I Love how you chose to do ur middle finger XD

[MissCookiesNeon]

i  love the nails

[IndigoNova1]

@MissCookiesNeon Thank you :)

[thecavykeeper]

i love the way you shoot your finger into the water really fast LOL :P

[IndigoNova1]

@thecavykeeper Lol  xD

[AmeeSoRaww123]

Do You Have To Use A Certain Type Of Nail Polish? I Used Two Different Nail Polishes. But It Never Works Out. & My Colors Always Dry Out So It Doesn't Spread Like It's Supposed To... D:

[IndigoNova1]

@AmeeSoRaww123 Nope, you just have to experiment with different brands and polishes. China Glaze cremes work well :)

[AmeeSoRaww123]

@IndigoNova1 Okay, Thanks :D

[dreammakeup5791]

Sooo pretty...I love them! Would glitter nail polish work?

[IndigoNova1]

@dreammakeup5791 Its a bit dodgy....some glitters work but they tend to dry much faster on the water than creme polishes. Water marbelling is all about experimenting and seeing which polishes from your collection work, and which don't :)

[mcObigmac]

Nice video :DD 

[Aleczan]

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I've tried water marble trick many times before. My first drop is like...always instantly dry when I drop it into the water, so when I try to drag the colour, it always wrinkles and ruins it all XD I tried with a brand that dries very slowly and it still messes up 2 out of 3 times. Sad!

[mznatural1]

Cute :)

[Truthseeker153]

excellent

[kicksallstar]

U like attacked the water lol

[laughs7]

do you switch out the water after each nail or keep the same water for each nail and just clean off the top with a tooth pick?

[IndigoNova1]

@laughs7  Keep the same water and clean it with the toothpick :)

[laughs7]

@IndigoNova1 okay thanks :)

[MySoxRox123]

so am i supposed to like, paint the nails first?

[IndigoNova1]

@MySoxRox123 Yep, with the lightest colour you're using :)

[livingofmemories]

mineral water? like... the drinkable? do i explain myself? lol x)

[IndigoNova1]

@livingofmemories Just regular bottled water...that you drink lol xD

[livingofmemories]

@IndigoNova1 lol okay thank you, i'll try this! i really like it :D

[metleg227]

@indigonova1 does it have to be mineral water?

[IndigoNova1]

@metleg227 Nope, but I find it's the best to use. The polish doesn't spread as well in tap water.......give tap water a try and if it isn't spreading well try filtered or mineral water :)

[metleg227]

so awesome . thanks:)



[NANCYSIMPSON85]

So do i doo the p\olish mix for each individual nail?? and whats round hernail, is it tape?? HELP PLEASE!! lol i reallly wanna try this

[IndigoNova1]

@NANCYSIMPSON85 Put tape round your nails to stop the polish getting on your skin, and then dip the nail. You can do as many nails at once as you like, but its easier to do one at a time :)

[gsmmeid]

Huh? For me it does not work. The nail polish is like a gag from sticking together when I have a thing going through. Sorry for bad English, i'm forum the Netherlands.

[IndigoNova1]

@gsmmeid Try lots of different polishes, and room temp bottled water. Also try to work quickly.  I still get lots of problems with marbelling, so good luck and keep practising :)

[Imakestupidmovies]

@gsmmeid hoi gsmmeid ik ben ook van NL en het werkt voor mij beter met dunnere nagellak ik gebruik er vaak OPI nagellak voor ze koste wel veel. :P

[jodievik1]

thats a really good idea to do it in a shot glass!!! i going to use that idea ty and get myself some mineral water cause my polish dont like the tap water

[IndigoNova1]

@jodievik1 Yay! Glad it helped, good luck  xoxo

[raspberryboo2]

would it be possible to get this design on ur toes

[IndigoNova1]

@raspberryboo2 oooh heck, I wouldn't wanna try dipping my toes in a water marble...very messy. But you never know, it might work :)

[raspberryboo2]

@IndigoNova1 i tried this (on my fingers) and it didnt work out the nail polish didnt do what ur nail polish did wen i put it in the water

[IndigoNova1]

@raspberryboo2 Try different polishes, and room temp mineral water :)

[megzzzz322]

did you put the tape over your nail too? this is so cool!(:

[IndigoNova1]

@megzzzz322 Nope, just over the skin leaving the nail peeking out :)

[geminiako0528]

do ur nail have some tape before u deep it in the water with mix nail polish you've made?.

[IndigoNova1]

@geminiako0528 I put tape over my finger to stop the polish getting all over my skin :)

[geminiako0528]

@IndigoNova1 so the nails must not covered by the tape.any kind of tape can do?.

[IndigoNova1]

@geminiako0528 Don't cover the nails at all, just the skin around them. Any tape will do, but I prefer invisible tape as its more flexible :)

[geminiako0528]

@IndigoNova1 ok tnx i'll try to do this amazing nail art by doing some marbling,.lol

[itzelnavarro1995]

i am so confused? this is regular drinking mineral water? and you just put it into a shot glass?

[IndigoNova1]

@itzelnavarro1995 yep

[ROXYGURLluvschocolat]

can tap water be used or not?

[IndigoNova1]

@ROXYGURLluvschocolat Check out my channel page FAQ :)

[lidiakrebsky]

it works better if you are a little bit more gentler when making the flowing thing.

[IndigoNova1]

@thergoesmybaby Try room temperature mineral water, and different polishes

[QueenJC21]

I love the design, its perfect for shorter nails. My nails are about the length of yours right now, and I think that design would be perfect for me!!! Thanks for posting :)

[IndigoNova1]

@QueenJC21 That's great! Thank you :)

[babebrown5215]

Love it and your way is easier then a prev vid I saw on youtube thx!!

[greeneyedbutterfly17]

@IndigoNova1 would this work if i dropped in glitter polish?



[IndigoNova1]

@greeneyedbutterfly17 It just depends on that individual polish really. I did use glitter polish in one of my other marble vids and it was fine, you just need to experiment. Adding thinner can also help if its too thick :)

[nailskorner]

pretty.. love e green marble..

[katchan1]

That is so freaking cooL! thanks!

[IndigoNova1]

@katchan1 you're welcome  :)

[SandyzSerious]

Kinda like a starburst design. love it! 

[IndigoNova1]

@SandyzSerious thank you!

[shaiinuhxx]

This looks really cute! I've never seen the method of dipping in the middle of the design. Very interesting and helpful.

[IndigoNova1]

@shaiinuhxx Fantastic! Thank you <3
