Sunny Yellow Water Marble Nail Art Tutorial - Addicted to Color Series

[TheMj786]

@SimpleLittlePleasues What's you favorite glitter polish?? and what one is the cheapest??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheMj786 I don't think I could pick a favorite - what's cheapest is going to depend on what's available where you live but most drugstores carry brands like wet n wild =)

[delishc12]

[Goldensoul70]

I love your tutorials you are very creative, thanks for sharing..btw..beautiful hands.

[starrchild1257]

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@starrchild1257 I've done my nails since I was a kid, I learned about marbling after I started my blog =)

[rainbowunicorn1040]

where can I by some orange sticks?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@rainbowunicorn1040 they’re available most places that sell polish, usually stocked near the files & clippers =)

[becca89891]

[sweetberry2337]

do you like to do water marble nails ??????? :?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sweetberry2337 obviously yes LOL

[gmherps13]

@SimpleLittlePleasues i tried this and did what u say like leave the water out for a hour but the design didnt come out and everything didnt come out right

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@gmherps13 well, the polish plays a part too & of course making a good design takes practice =)

[becca89891]

@SimpleLittlePleasues can you use bottled water ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@becca89891 it should be fine as long as there are no additives =)

[dana20715]

@SimpleLittlePleasues im sorry for saying this but since i subscribed you you started making alot of videos may u explain why please??? reply

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@dana20715 Well, I work full time so I've always made videos as I had time to do so - sometimes I only have time for a few & sometimes for a lot =)

[littlezoe17]

Your addicted to color series rocks! You should start more like it! :) (psst psst, metallics! :))

[YOLYVIV]

Is there something special about wht type of cup u use and water biz I made a hot mess lol

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@YOLYVIV I use a 5 oz paper cup & room temperature filtered water =)

[NailArtLove73]

Check out my nail tutorials!!

[apple12521]

hey im ten and u guess right.i guess i will forget some cool stuff because i will be busy with other stuff but i tink ur very "cool" for ur age

[apple12521]

wat is ur age i just asked cuz u sound a little bit old and old ppl dont know cool stuff

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@apple12521 I'm 30 ... not sure if you consider that old LOL but if you think old people don't know anything cool you must be very young =) are you going to forget anything cool you know once you're "old"?

[krissypooh12459]

@SimpleLittlePleasues You don't look 30 :)

[dana20715]

@krissypooh12459 she does look 30

[AznKristen]

Do you hve to use a fake nail?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@AznKristen my nails are natural =)

[anime10lover]

aww.. u make it look so easssyyy

[CloeJohn410]

Do we really need glittered nail polishes?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CloeJohn410 you can use any polish that will spread in the water =)

[04trinigirl]

very very very lovely.... a great bright idea using the colour yellow :) i cant help but notice that you sounded really sad :( I pray that God will make a way for you and direct your path hun :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@04trinigirl not sad, just tired =)

[ImForeverAwesome]

how do you have so many nail polishes? plz reply

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ImForeverAwesome well, I buy them LOL. I've been collecting since I was a kid =)

[ImForeverAwesome]

@SimpleLittlePleasues =] lol, do u do a new water marble evry day since u have so many nail polishes ? andhow do you have so much time to answer many peoples questions on all yr videos?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ImForeverAwesome I usually change my nails 3-4 times a week =) answering comments doesn't really take that long since I type pretty fast

[ImForeverAwesome]

@SimpleLittlePleasues =] do u change them because u get bored of them or because yr trying to make more videos?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ImForeverAwesome mostly because I get bored - I don't do vids for most of my manicures, just blog posts =)

[ImForeverAwesome]

@SimpleLittlePleasues where did find out aboout water marbling, and posting them online ? i really like your videos i was wondering if u can do a vid of all yr nail polish collection =]

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ImForeverAwesome I read about it on several other blogs before I started doing it myself - there are some pics of my stash on my blog =) I don’t know when I’ll get to a vid but in the right sidebar there's a drop down for my labels - look under the tag "my stash" & I think it's the 2nd post that will show up

[mia180711]

:) ;) <3 

[jennaluvsya2000]

those arnt nails...theyre wepons...wayyyyyyyyy too long

[MsBeautiful2021]

these are beautiful colors i lve them u are amazign i wish i could do it but it just doesnot work for me

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MsBeautiful2021 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 =)

[victoriaenciso]

Great tutorials! I love the addicted to color series. It would be great if you did a blue colored one (:

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@victoriaenciso I'll be doing every color eventually, I'd like to do another soon since it's been a few months =)

[SuperPinkcutie27]

do you have to filter the water???

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@SuperPinkcutie27 I recommend it - 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 =)

[NicelleLOVE101]

It did not work for me -_-

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@NicelleLOVE101 Are you using room temperature filtered water?

[lChachieBoo]

why does my mine doesn't want to scatter? Just asking!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

[YOLYVIV]

How do u clean it up , is that with regular nail polish..cool

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@YOLYVIV 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 =) it's normal polish although not every color works.

[daisy43214321]

@SimpleLittlePleasues does it have to be filterd

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@daisy43214321 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 =)

[Carolyn63Berry]

Love it

[star19amethyst]

Hi I'm one of ur subscribers and watch all of ur marbling vids if only I could do it my self. I have a big question if u do not mind, how can u find out if the water is room temperatured NOT INVOLVING A THERMOMETER plzzzzzzz thx I really wanna water marble THX SOOO MUCH ~Star~

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@star19amethyst it doesn't have to be exact - I just recommend leaving it out for an hour or so =)

[kisses0114]

I have a question i use filterd water and fairly new nail poish, but it doesnt seen to work for me:( do you know why?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@kisses0114 a couple things - 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 =)

[Emochick9287]

Where can u get china glaze can u please answer I just wanna save a trip to any random store for sake of the penguins :) oh and Omg i did my first marble thingie and I gotta admit I cried but I made it they look

Awesome Thanx .

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Emochick9287 it's available at sallys, ulta & online =)

[beadlescrazy8]

1:29 eeewwww that looks nasty

[PuppieGirl1011]

@SimpleLittlePleasuers Wouldnt they go bad if u kept them for years, Cause I had mine for a year and it's dead.... PS Your awesome at nails

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@PuppieGirl1011 no, polish doesn't go bad - if it gets thick just hit it with a little polish thinner =)

[TheGreenDolphinFilms]

Is it true that SallyHanson tests on animals?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheGreenDolphinFilms I have no idea

[tartarcake]

how much nail polish do yuu have plz let me no

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@tartarcake over 1600 bottles =)

[tartarcake]

@SimpleLittlePleasues wow thats a lot of nail polish

[CitrusWebkinz]

@SimpleLittlePleasues How do you get soo many polish bottles? And where do you store them? My mom would kill me if I got 1600 bottles of polish!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CitrusWebkinz I've collected basically swince I was a kid =) I have 3 helmer units as well as several shoe boxes

[55bumper]

How many bottles of nail polish do you have? And is Sally Hansen a good brand to use while marbling?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@55bumper I have over 1600 bottles =) You can’t really go just by brand - the only way to know for any specific color is to try it

[Mario123547]

What type of filtered water is that?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Mario123547 it's from a brita pitcher =)

[babyjesus1998]

does it matter what type of brand of the finger nail polish u have?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@babyjesus1998 you can use any brand of polish, but not every color works =)

[babyjesus1998]

@SimpleLittlePleasues thx :) cuz i probably would have wasted some polish if i hadn't known

[Malmsteen1990]

It's Only water?, I saw a tutorial but, painting guitars, the "swirl" style, but it says that it's necessary to put "Borax" on the water.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Malmsteen1990 I don't add anything - it's just plain room temperature filtered water =)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@zoeyzoey112 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 =)

[tmillslover]

@viktorija13100 no it's china parks not glaze

[viktorija13100]

Isn't china glaze the girl from ant farm.the tv show from disney

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@viktorija13100 I've never heard of that show so I don't know =)

[liloreoqueen101]

I love your water marble tutorials! They're really great. :) I just have a question. How come when I use room temperature, filtered water, my nail polish will not spread. The first drop usually spreads nicely, but the ones that follow do not. Also, when I try to move the design around with the toothpick, it pulls the entire design with it and messes it all up. I have never gotten this to work. Am I doing something wrong?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@liloreoqueen101 a couple things - 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 =) if its dragging when you try to draw it sounds like your colors are drying too fast

[thegrouchmonster101]

a lot of people have been asking what nail polish works best but it is really the thinner ones

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@thegrouchmonster101 I've had good luck with thicker ones as well, as long as they are not so thick they won't drip- th most important thing is that it dries very slowly =)

[allycatnbri2000]

where do you buy the nail polish at

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@allycatnbri2000 all different stores - you can check out my haul vids for some examples =)

[vanya147258369]

I LOOOOOOOVE YOUR VIDEOS! ARE GORGEOUS! :D

Keep it!

Greetings from Peru :D

[Fionahifi]

Thank you! But how do i know when i want to buy a skow drying one how do i know which ones are? and how do i know which ones tht i already have are??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Fionahifi the only way to know is to try them =)

[Fionahifi]

Wow!! how does your nailpolish not dry up on the surface of the water?!??!? i used room temperature, filtered water bt it still dries on the surface VERY quickly. yours doesnt at all!!! Helpp how can i make it not dry uppp???? :/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Fionahifi every polish dries at a different speed & those that dry fast just aren't very good for marbling - if you can't work any quicker then you have to find colors that dry slower =) Also make sure there's not a fan or anything creating a draft on the water as that can make the polish dry faster

[september2199]

i have attempted to do water marble so many times that i cant even count! our table had nail polish all over it and we cant get it off! :D

[happydr3am3r]

I love your water marble nail videos :) they're really fun to watch and intersesting! ;)

[Damarischina]

Can you do it without using any base coat?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[XxPureAddictionxX]

I love ur water marbling videos cuz whenever I see other people on YouTube doing water marble they look like they dnt kno wat they're doing and they're designs never look as nice as the ones that you do :)

[ThePoserDiaries]

i see you always use like a styrafoam cup. i dont have any styrafoam cups, and my mom wont let me use any of out glass cups cuz they can get dirty. i have this container that once held wipes, (like those regualr huggie boxes things) would water marble work with that even though its not a circle?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ThePoserDiaries it's actually a paper cup - polish wil dissolve styrofoam & can cause a huge mess.  Really any container will work, it doesn't have to be round, but I do recommend finding one as small as possible because it seems to let the polish spread easier =)

[EmmisMaleexis]

I've tried this with many colors but my polishes don't spread in the water! And then when I go to swipe the design, it breaks the surface and everything is ruined! Any suggestions??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@EmmisMaleexis 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 =)

[NailpolishGirl27]

Where do u set up ur camera for ur tutorials?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@NailpolishGirl27 just to the side of the cup =)

[NailpolishGirl27]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Thanks! I am trying to find a spot to place my iphone while filming any ideas?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@NailpolishGirl27 not really - do they make an iphone tripod?

[kleec818]

does your base color have to be white

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@kleec818 no - although I do recommend using some color or the marble design can be transparent =)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@CarolinaGates lighthouse =)

[Bianca16797]

Does the polish u use for water marble slow drying??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Bianca16797 yes, that's the most important quality =)

[sasychick2881996]

Chick and hawt love them colett

[GadSammit]

IMPRESSIVE.

[TraceFace87]

Should I only use solid colors like no shimmer or pearl ones?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TraceFace87 you can use any finish that you like, although sometimes colors spread better if you stick with just one =)

[mccloud567]

you did not say what base color you used on your nail for this yellow water marble. joanna

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mccloud567 it was lighthouse - details I forget to mention in the vid are always included in the blog post =)

[Avetoula]

BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU.

[spicysushi23]

Im jst saying, ppl please LOOK AT dUH COMMENTS!! Stop asking her questions!! Ive seen many question askes and answered a billion times!! Let her rest or sumthin!

[il0V3Bi3B]

@simplelittlepleasures thank you so much I look forward to your new videos!

[beautifulsissta]

i wide really like to know why my marble is not working. my polishes aren't spreading. pls help i love

marble.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@beautifulsissta Are you using room temperature filtered water?

[urbabylorenea]

what is the type of water i cant get it to work that good?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[il0V3Bi3B]

Will you do a candy corn water marble for this season? I love your videos! Keep doin what your good at!(:

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@il0V3Bi3B I did a candy corn marble last year, so I don't know that I'll revisit it this year but there are definitely some halloween looks coming =)

[laylay1027]

you are very good at that =)

[sweetashxx1]

Can u do a vid on make up pls for me with your nice nails

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sweetashxx1 I haven't completely ruled it out but for right now I don't plan on doing any makeup vids =)

[friendswoah]

can you do a spider web looking water marble for halloween? :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@friendswoah I have one from last year =) I may revist the idea but I'm not sure yet

[xtyertry]

@friendswoah she did already

[Frediscoolerthanjosh]

Do you think cheap nailpolishes would work?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[132435Sarah132435]

You must go through a LOT of tape. :/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@132435Sarah132435 not really - the pieces are pretty small. I realized the other day I've been on one roll for like 2 years now =)

[MsMeyara]

@132435Sarah132435 not to forget about the money of the nailpolishes, I mean those aren't cheap xD

[sweetashxx1]

Can u use any water

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sweetashxx1 I always use room temperature filtered water from a Brita pitcher - 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 =)

[mikkym04]

What was on your thumb when you dipped it in the cup??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mikkym04 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 =)

[maddielovesnick]

did you put a base color?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@maddielovesnick yes, I used lighthouse =)

[prettyqut2]

how long does it take for the manicure to dry when you pull it out the water?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@prettyqut2 It’s mostly dry within a few minutes, then I use a quick-drying top coat =)

[MissesMitch]

soo sad :/ it NEVER works for me D:

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MissesMitch 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 =)

[JuliaRusan]

this never works for me!! does it nessecerly have to be a paper cup?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@JuliaRusan you can use any cup, other than styrofoam with polish can dissolve, but 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 =)

[blueyedmacluvrxxo]

i love watching the nail polish spread out in the water its so cool im mesmerized ,i think i have a problem :P i can't wait to see some halloween stuff :D

[abstractxXxsmile]

out of all the nail polish brands you have tried (for both water marbling and just a regular nail painting) whats the best brand as for quality and how long they last?

thanks so much, love your tutorials <3

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@abstractxXxsmile fior marbling 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 =) even for a normal manicure I think wear has as much to do with base & top coats as the brand, and I don't wear mine more than a few days so I don't really see how most polish wears long-term

[xMawnstur]

How Many Times Do You Do Your Nails A Week ? [: .

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@xMawnstur usually 3-4 times a week =)

[xMawnstur]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Oh Okay . Thanks . [: !

[StarStruckPanda]

I tried this and the polish does spread like what you show in water but when I try making some design everything just sticks to my tooth pick the minute I dip it in. Is it necessary to use an orange stick??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@StarStruckPanda no, you can use anything with a fine point but you have to make the design while the polish is still wet - it sounds like your polish is starting to dry so you either have to work faster or find colors that dry slower =)

[StarStruckPanda]

@SimpleLittlePleasues ok I will try some different polish then. Thanks a lot!! :). I love all your designs :D

[legolover3321]

dose it matter what sally hensen you use because lile theres 20 differennt different vers of that bbrand like sally hensen glitter and stuff

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@legolover3321 yes - every polish is different in the water & not every one works =)

[thechloandsoph]

@simplelittlepleasues, sorry i didn't mean to say it like that. i didn't mean to be rude or anything i love ur videos by the way

[thechloandsoph]

@roringsnow, don't get me wrong i love painting my nails. i wasn't insulting anyone people r aloud to say their opinion if u didn't like me comment (which u didn't) u showed it.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MakeupwithAnnmarie room temperature filtered water =)

[crazymonkey122100]

Can you do a Halloween water marble using orange black and silver??
