OPI Nail Marbling Tutorial

[shannon2660]

OPI... this is a water-marbling tutorial FAIL. Not only is it fugly, and the video quality stanks, but the way the technique is demonstrated here is not the best way to a successful water marble IMO. Sorry to be a hater, but really!

PS ladies, all brands of polish will work. It may take some experimenting to find which polishes spread in the water well together. Glitters don't really work. Everything else is just fine. Use room-temperature filtered water for optimal results as well!

okay i can not get the second drop of nail polish to spread out to save my life. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!?

[Lcycold88]

This is soo cool thx so much!!

[soccerkat0214]

@Haileyscomet803 I thought the same thing but actally I guess there's something in nail polish that just makes it spread and float on top of the water

[soccerkat0214]

@triplethreat02 yea I know that's why I went straight to walmarts and bought some cheap nail polish to try with and it works great I didn't even use a top coat and 5 days later and it's not chipped:)

[soccerkat0214]

@OceanGirl1128 try sallys or n.y.c. I used those and they work, but you can prob just go to walmarts and pick up random colors I bet they'll work(that's what I'm gonna get tommaro)

[OceanGirl1128]

I just have to say that this is an extremely bad waste of an expensive nail polish

And has anyone tried doing it with other brands of lacquer?

[bluefuzzysox]

@OceanGirl1128 yes. essie, orly, china glaze, sally hansen, sinful colors, etc all work. some colors from those brands might not spread well, though. it depends on the color and not so much the brand. it also depends on the water temp.

Why's the prize a t-shirt? Can't it be something like, um, I dunno. NAIL POLISH?

[haileyscomet803]

You just drip nail polish in a cup of water? And the nail polish doesn't get watered down? Sorry I'm lost

[triplethreat02]

what a waste of nailpolish....

[Ariberri18]

she said lacquer 80 times

[g3chico]

Looks goopy.

[livelovelaugh9311]

not sure if someone posted this already or not, but instead of using tape, i just use chap stick, it makes the nail polish that gets on your skin wipe off with just a piece of paper towel :)

[TuyetNhiViet]

can we do this with the shatter nail polish?

[ohmyitsjesss]

kinda sucks..

[TINBITZPHAM]

she kinda sucks

[vivianlin123]

what happens if you use the black shatter?

[TheDushy14]

It works with all the polish?

[wutUPsZ9]

How long does it last ? someone please reply !! thanks :)

[kelliferrr]

She kinda sounds like Sarah Chalke. :)

[d4nnii90]

wow that looks fantastic..it's bit time consuming, but i will have to try it one day.

[TheKyndalPaige]

Would this work with the burlesque glitter polishes as well?

[pamelahl1]

i love the info on this opi channel, but why do they seem blurry and so out of focus? i would think that opi has enough revenue from sales to provide loyal customers with better quality videos. not complaining, just noting. it is alot of fun to do and i use cheapie polish for this technique~ i wouldn't waste my opi gems on water marble!

[OpiProducts]

@pamelahl1 Thanks for the suggestion. These videos were entirely impromptu and will be clearer next time. :)

[snowflake357]

@pamelahl1 I agree about using cheaper polishes, there is no way I would be able to use OPI polishes for nail marbling no matter how good they are, they are over $20 a bottle down here in Australia, outrageous!!!!!. I use Sally Hansen and Revlon, get as good as designs for a third of the price!!

[Vettle]

@snowflake357 wow that is awful!! I only pay 9 dollars for a bottle, and sometimes 2 for $15 deals come out in salons. boo!

[snowflake357]

@Vettle Where abouts are you?......If you're in Oz somewhere I should get you to buy the polishes for me!

[snowflake357]

@Vettle Where abouts are you?......If you're in Oz somewhere I should get you to buy the polishes for me!...

[snowflake357]

@pamelahl1 No way would I use OPI polishes for marbling, at $20+ a bottle, I'd be broke in no time!!!....

[madisonc96]

@pamelahl1  I totally agree. I would think the same. Haha

[gld6437]

Can you do this with glitter polishes?

[OpiProducts]

@gld6437 Yes you can. It's great to do with shimmers as well, they stand out wonderfully.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

So... do you guys just not accept video responses, or do you not pay any attention to your YouTube channel other than when you're actually upload a vid?

[MissCityChic]

this looks really cool. i might try it. will take a long time for all 10 fingers tho.

[PomMommy83]

Your voice is annoying BAHAHAHAHA

[Tofu4eva]

[DrtyLtSecret91]

This seems like a big waste of nailpolish. It looks cool, but is it worth so much nailpolish?

[lindadaly]

So the prize is a T-shirt?? Sad.

[LuvCatz905]

Hey when can u guys do the Justin Bieber nail polish line video?

[fadsandgonads]

Random question, but what exactly does your job entail? It looks so fun haha

[jofunkfoot]

Awesome job! I tried it and I love it!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

Do you have to be on Facebook to participate? I'm not on there (& really have no desire to be) but I'd love to submit an entry as a video response if that's a viable option =)

[DinorahBabyy]

This is gorgeous !

[KittyKlassy]

Do we just submit it as a video?

[OpiProducts]

@KittyKlassy Should have been more clear with that. If you head over to the OPI Facebook page you can find details.  :)

[sexxie54321]

just from my experience, there is a MUCH better wat to tape off your nails. but what do i know ;)

[DinorahBabyy]

@sexxie54321 Huh?

[cherryiceox]

that is beautiful!

[dinavienna]

freakin awesome!
