[13raiderr]

a double rainbow.. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

[arwenperry27]

ITS SO PURRTTAYY

[jujujujjujujuuj]

1) is the pen a drawing pencil or a orange pen cuz i cant hear wat u say

2) do u have 2 use a plastic or paper cup

Thx;)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jujujujjujujuuj it's called an orange stick - you can use any cup except for styrofoam, polish can dissolve that =)

[JlynGoh]

Lolz... Cha cha cha as a name....

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@reichelbrenner well, my cup is small enough that exact thing doesn't normally happen, but it sounds like your polish is starting to dry - you either have to work faster or find colors that dry slower =)

[samiandlarnbeauty]

The nail polishes you use are the just normal nail polishes or are the special ones designed for the water,I love your videos,expacially water marbles,x

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@samiandlarnbeauty normal polish, although not every color works =)

[PrettyPolish1]

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@PrettyPolish1 check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine =)

[Nishonthie10]

iz dis hard cuz it seems easy but ppl are saying dat they have trouble with it! 

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Nishonthie10 it's different for everyone - I don't find it hard but I've been doing it for years =)

[WeMissYouAmy]

Beautiful Design :)

But I have one question. How do you take care of your nails or how do you protect them? My nails always broke :'(.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@WeMissYouAmy I keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I also take a biotin supplement – check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine. I do occasionally get a tear or break but you can check out my tutorial on silk wrap patching for how I save those nails =) I do "Naked Nails" posts on my blog every month or so where I talk more about like all the specific products I'm currently using.

[Oreobun3900]

This Is A Really Awesome Tecnique.. Is That How You Spell It? Haha I Dunno.. But Anyways.. I Havent Tried It Yet.. But I Have One Question.. I HATE Painting My Fingernails.. Is There Anyway To Do This On Your Toes..??? PLEASE REPLY!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Oreobun3900 it is possible on your toes although I haven't tried it myself - the people who have say it's easier with someone to help you position & dip your toes =)

[Oreobun3900]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Thanks!.. I Saw A Video Of Someone Doing It On Tere Toes.. And You Just Dip Your Toe In And... Well Basically You Do Just Like Your Fingers..;)

[GyMnAsTnAiLs]

How long do you usually leave the water for it to become room temperature? I usually use a little bit warmer water and I can only put 3 drops of color in and it's already dry! If u had any advice I would really appreciate it. Thank you!!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@GyMnAsTnAiLs our brita pitcher is always on the counter so I don't really need to wait - usually only cold water makes polish dry faster, it may just be the colors you're using - it can take a lot of trial & error to find the ones best for marbling =)

[mudpup36]

when do u take off the tape?

after it dries or when u take it out of the water?



[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mudpup36 I usually wait for the polish to dry, but you can do it while wet if you’re careful =)

[sweetpeppermind]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I FINALLY MANAGED TO DO WATER MARBLE AND ITS THANKS TO YOU !!!!! I M SOOOO HAPPY, the design is not really precise yet, its like lots of different waves of colour but it doesnt matter because it finally worked ! (i had already posted a comment saying that it didnt, and asking for help ) so thank you so much for showing this technic to us , now i just keep on watching my nails and smiling and wanting to have more fingers to try other colors LOL THANKS AGAIN

[MYBELLAAK]

Please do a Nail polish collection!!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MYBELLAAK There are some pics on my blog =) I don’t know when I’ll get to a vid

[MrGalaxy789]

is it instantly dry when you take it out? xx

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MrGalaxy789 It’s mostly dry within a few minutes, then I use a quick-drying top coat =)

[mrsbieber55535]

are the nail polishes that i use always dry up reallly quick and it gets annoying

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mrsbieber55535 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

[costaseva16]

what an amazing design! it's just gorgeous!

[ethanybjonas]

where do u get ur nail polishes from in maryland plz respond baq :);)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ethanybjonas I'm in Minnesota, so I have no idea what stores they have there - I go to walgreens, sallys & ulta just to name a few

[crazymonkey122100]

I sent a video response to you but i'm not sure if it worked

[JuicyHeart97]

did you use a white base for this design? :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@JuicyHeart97 yes =)

[KristallGloeckchen]

I tried this without having a base on my nails and it looked pretty cool... but the blue iguana and 108 degrees polish soaked into my nail and won't go away with nail polish remover... now i have my natural nails with a blue spiral on them...

[JuicyHeart97]

this is stunning :)

are your nails real?

if they are , how do you get them to be so long and strong?

everytime i try to grow them, they keep breaking, even with nail strengthening polish :(

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@JuicyHeart97 yes, my nails are natural - I try to keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I also take a biotin supplement – you can check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine. I do occasionally get a tear or break but you can check out my tutorial on silk wrap patching for how I save those nails =) I do "Naked Nails" posts on my blog every month or so where I talk more about like all the specific products I'm currently using.

[animallover22100]

DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY!!!:D

[astaliini]

that paper is so beautiful! ahaha i wanna do that and use it as giftwrap :D

[mienike0140]

thats amazingg!!! i just have a question for you. whenever i tried doing that, the outter edge of bullseye got thick, and it messed all up. i only did two drops for each color.



[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mienike0140 if the outside starts to dry, just start drawing your desigb a few rings in =)

[theKRMsisters]

IM 10 an have really short nails how does watermarbling work with short nails

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@theKRMsisters if you have short nails you just get less of the design =)

[LBP2Fangirl]

Voldemort

[CtotheRtotheL]

*sighs* i Just cannot get the hang of this and I'm desperate to do it!

[wellsrachael]

hello again Colette, hope u r doing well...i've got a ques. Can the water marble be done on toes? I tried it once and ummm lets just say that it was a definite no.... lol

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@wellsrachael yes, although I haven't tried it myself I've had several viewers do it sucessfully =)

[heartgoestodrizzy]

Thnx colllleeeettttteeee it helped a lot!:)

[heartgoestodrizzy]

I love all your videos you are very talented!:) i have a question, do you put all your nails in at once or one at a time? Plz reply A.S.A.P!:) THANKS SO MUCH COLLLLEETTTEEE!:)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@heartgoestodrizzy I don't usually recommend more than 2 or 3 at once - just be sure they hit the surface of the water & the design at the same time =)

[PolinaSemionovaFan]

do you have to have long nails to do this or does it work just as well with short nails?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@PolinaSemionovaFan if you have short nails you just get less of the design =)

[BrainOfsteel]

I have all the colors in the Island Ascape collection, exept 108 degrees and blue iguana :P

[glamxglitter]

do you ABSOULUTLEY need that stick to mix the colours?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@addie201 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 =)

[cicipickens]

I love your videos and try to do them but every time i put one color in, it dries completely before I can add a second color. There is a dry layer at the top before I can even draw a pattern! Can you help me figure out what's going wrong?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@cicipickens 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

[IrockChristina]

Oh my gosh! You're amazing! Thank you SO much for posting these awesome water marble tutorials! I will be looking so fly when I go back to school this fall! Thank you!

[MsLeona1976]

I love the marble effect of the polish. I haven't tried it yet. Can you suggest a polish that works really well for this?:

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MsLeona1976 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 =)

[787BlueGreen]

Can u only use china glaze opi and Sally Hanson

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@787BlueGreen You can use any brand, although not every color works =)

[jewishgirl1000]

How did you get the polish to travel to all sides of the cup?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jewishgirl1000 it should spread on its own =)

[MLLPope2001]

I love the sound of your voice. Not only do I learn a lot from your channel, but your voice is quite relaxing to me. Thank you, and I do apologize if that sounded odd. ;)

Mandi

[stateofdisorder1977]

i always have a problem with water bubbles marking my polish. how do you do it without getting bubbles? i tried fast, slow, shaking my finger before pulling it out of the water.......but i still get bubbles. can you help me?

btw, lovely tut as always

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@stateofdisorder1977 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 =)

[Zipitizo]

when i do water marbleing i it never comes out right

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Zipitizo what problem are you having?

[Donitalashay]

This its so pretty. I have had so much trouble with the marbling. I love your tutorials because all the others are just so messy where as you have actual patterns. I do have a question, can you water marble with any brands of polish?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Donitalashay any brand yes, but not all colors work =)

[Annabettin]

Thanks for the reply Colette. I'm using 5 oz Dixie brand drinking cups. I've tried cutting it down to 1/2 height thinking it would help but it didn't. It's the strangest thing. I also use fresh water for each nail cuz no matter what I try I can't get all the polish floaties out.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Annabettin hmm, that is definitely strange, the only other thing I can think of is to kind of pull the polish over the the side after a few or after you're all done, to get it to cover the whole surface - similar to when I anchor the design to keep it from moving but a little more extrenme =)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@cutesttanu I do tutorials for most of my freehand designs, but I just don't do it that often, if my nails aren't marbled I usually just use Konad or have a plain mani =)

[250scorpio82]

Nice job even with bubble or smudge. The design and colors hide flaws well! I fail at water marble lol need more patience and practice I guess :). You nails and hands are very pretty

[Annabettin]

YAY! I have all these polishes. My problem is when I drop the polish dead center of cup it spreads to a side, not covering the surface. I get a cross-eyed not a bullseye. LOL Tried all kinds & temps of H20 & made sure table was level. Happens every time even w/fresh water. Any ideas to help a big fan??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Annabettin what size cup are you using? smaller seems to help it spread more evenly, mine is just 5 oz =)

[katiieee1103]

I tried to water marble this week, but failed miserably and I'm not sure why...I used room temp bottled water and Orly polishes, but when I went to make the lines with the orange stick, the polish just got thick & bunched up which ruined the bullseye. Any idea why that would happen?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@katiieee1103 It sounds like the polish is starting to dry – you either have to work faster or find colors that dry slower =)

[Mseastlondonprincess]

how many drops do i have to put in

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Mseastlondonprincess as many as you want - different number of drops will create slightly different designs =)

[xCrazyNails]

I use bottle water at room temp. And I work fast.. Still I can't do water marbling, this is the only nail design I can't do !! "/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@xCrazyNails make sure there's not a fan or anything creating a draft on the water as that can make the polish dry faster, other than that it's all trial & error to find the colors that work best =)

[xCrazyNails]

@SimpleLittlePleasues I will make sure i do that, hope it works!!

[BlkIsBtful]

Is it possible to do this with my real nails

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@BlkIsBtful my nails are natural =)

[PrettyMuchMe94]

i apsolutely love these :D amazing <3 need to have a try at marble effects

[lilpunkstarsana]

awesome

[ChasterrChay646]

Were you the first one to invent water marbling?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ChasterrChay646 no, I read about it on several blogs before I started doing it =)

[elmocookiemonsters]

do you have to drop new drops of nail polish for every nail?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@elmocookiemonsters for this design yes, others you can dip multiple nails at a time =)

[JBLover1320]

This used to work for me but now it doesn't, what can i do to fix it?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@JBLover1320 not every color works - it just takes a lot of trial & error to find the ones that work best =)

[DarkangelKat]

thats crazy!!! is that some kinda special nail polish and water or something? :o

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@DarkangelKat it's normal polish & room temperature filtered water =)

[sportscrazy26]

y do u always draw lines to the top and to the bottom when you start making your design?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sportscrazy26 I don't always, but it helps the lines to become more stripes than circles for some designs =)

[7890joanna]

How do you do the tape thing

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@7890joanna you can check out the taping tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how I apply it =)

[piessMAN96]

i have a huge problem.. when i dip my finger in and get it out i have my design ruined and mixed up in a new colour..how to avoid that?? And can i have only bottled water?? and when i drop second colour in the first one itwont spread at all!

help?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@piessMAN96 I think it sounds like you are using a little too much polish - try using a few less drops. The layer in the water should be very thin & should look the same on your nail as in the cup. Bottled should be fine as long as there are not additves. sometimes even colors that each spread on their own don't work well together - you just have to keep trying different colors & different combinations =)

[nanna88100]

how do i get rid of the little bubbles? lol..

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@nanna88100 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 =)

[scrunchie25]

This is your cutest one yet :) and I'v seen them all!

[lairgrl101]

I tried the water marble, I didn't use the exact same polish as you, and some of the drops like sank to the bottom or didn't spread at all, does the type of polish matter? Thanks :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lairgrl101 you can use any brand, but not every color works - 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 =) also be sure to use filtered water

[lairgrl101]

@SimpleLittlePleasues I tried it again dropping it lower down and it worked great, my nails look awesome thanks! :D

[lexiloveskayley]

Do you have to let the nail polish dry like normal or does it dry faster doing water marble?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[lexiloveskayley]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Thank you, I will definately try this out(:



[imacoolkid8]

Pretty:)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@PunkieHell the colors are all listed in the information box =)

[mamichulis83]

How do I do it so the nail polish won't come out thick?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mamichulis83 if the polish is thick you can use polish thinner - if the design is thick, just use fewer drops =)

[mamichulis83]

Will it work on fake nails too?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mamichulis83 it should work fine =)

[MissAngel1491]

What's the nail polish you used at 0:35? ♥

[RavishingYou]

@MissAngel1491

Blue Iguana <3

[MissAngelface400]

Wowie! You have gorgeous nails! And you are amazing at coming up with designs and how they should go together! Oh and how do you get you nails so long??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MissAngelface400 I try to keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil & I also take a biotin supplement – you can check out my Nail Maintenance vid in the Tips & Trick playlist for my full routine. I do occasionally get a tear or break but you can check out my tutorial on silk wrap patching for how I save those nails =) I do "Naked Nails" posts on my blog every month or so where I talk more about like all the specific products I'm currently using.

[coreawilliams]

Love the color combinations!

[rawr2560]

OMG ur great!! It's awesome!! i love it!!

[italychic148]

i love ur nails but ive tried this with tap and bottled water but my nail ploish wont spread out like urs does any help?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@italychic148 make sure the bottled water has no additives - other than that it's all trial & error to find the colors that work best =)

[TheTerrancejayy]

That is prettty.

[ElenaRox1994]

Beautiful!



[MeBeIvana]

you nails are way too long, you look like you can scratch me to death xD

[wellsrachael]

@MeBeIvana na she has gorgeous nails :))

[meggosta]

do china glaze polishes work best?? ;)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@meggosta not really - 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. HTH =)

[TheMusicGurlz]

Could You Use Nail Polish Thinner To Thin It Out?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheMusicGurlz yes, you can use thinner on any polish =)

[libbythegymnast]

Why don't my nailpolish drops spread after the first drop?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@libbythegymnast sometimes even colors that each spread on their own don't work well together - you just have to keep trying different colors &  different combinations =)

[ilysfmx0x]

what was your starting base color ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ilysfmx0x plain white =)

[123inderpreet]

how do u delete videos?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@123inderpreet just click delete next to it on the my videos page =)

[chantels60]

Very cool

[KTYells]

I water marbled my nails for the first time and i had a lot of trouble getting my polish to spread. and i later noticed bubbling!!!! Please help!!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@KTYells Are you using 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 =)

[Michele1411xx]

how often do you redo your nails??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Michele1411xx 3-4 times a week =)

[lalahdastylist]

I tried a water marbling with bottled water.Heard it works ok but it didn't for me.Was using several brands of polish and it wasn't really spreading and was a all a clump when I tried to drag a design :( Don't know if it was the bottled water or the polishes...uggghhh

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lalahdastylist check to be sure the bottled didn't have any additives - that can affect the polish spreading =)

[ohmygodgasp]

Should the water be room temp??? Also this is amazing Ive never heard of it before!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ohmygodgasp yes, room temp filtered water =)

[iridescentmakeup]

omg! these are awesome!

[bequia86]

Thanks for showing how you test a design, I've seen others use acrylic nails but didn't want to buy those just to test designs. Now I can sit and watch your tips whilst testing out my polishes and what designs they will work with. Thank you!

[sweetpeppermind]

This is so cool ! I wish I could do that ; but my nail polish doesnt "run" through the water as it does in your videos ! :(

[lalahdastylist]

@sweetpeppermind Mine didn't either.Clumped all up into a mess..so sad :(

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sweetpeppermind Are you using 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 =)

[ashy13241]

Where can I get China Glaze? the colour are so pretty and my own nail polish doesnt seem to work for water marbling.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ashy13241 it's available at Sallys, Ulta & online =)

[ashy13241]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Thanks. :)

[brnize1969]

too cute

[Barabeks]

So amazing thank you!!

[Katlynrose123]

Ive been trying for months to get my nails to come out like yours but i can never perferct it! I dont know if im doing it wrong, but every time i pull my nail out the have a TON of polish on it. Then while im waiting for them to dry the polish like slides of because its so wet still. Ive looked at your tips and tried the different brands, water temp., water type, and orange sticks but they never work. Help?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Katlynrose123 I think it sounds like you are using a little too much polish - try using a few less drops. The layer in the water should be very thin & shouldn't have a problem sticking to your nail as long as you are using a base color =)

[Katlynrose123]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Thanks! I'll try it later and let you know!

[tacos5938]

TOTALLY SUSCRIBING ;D

[ashy13241]

Can you do something for Canada Day? It's coming up on friday and I'd like to see what I can do in celebration. :D

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ashy13241 I honestly don't think I'll have time by then, especially since I'm trying to fit in a design or 2 for the 4th =)

[SionAndOllie]

@ashy13241 i'm trying to do that too! i went out and bought some yesterday, just a plain white, a plain red, and then a shimmery red. :)

[ashy13241]

@SionAndOllie Ooo! Pretty! Man. I need to get better Nail Polish. >.< I tried to do a Water Marble but my nail polish didnt work with it.

[SionAndOllie]

@ashy13241 sad D; splurge splurge splurge! LOL. it's what i did. :3

[ashy13241]

@SionAndOllie :P mine dries to fast. It dries like the second it hits the water so it doesnt have time to spread. >.<

[SionAndOllie]

@ashy13241 suuucks D; i had that issue with one of mine. i'd try to put another drop of colour onto it and it would just sit there, so i'd poke it and the whole thing would collapse. LOL. epic fail xD

[ashy13241]

@SionAndOllie Lol. Thats basically the same thing happened to me. And that was my GOOD nailpolish to. D: Guess its not so good afterall

[SionAndOllie]

@ashy13241 suuuuuucks D:
