Christmas Poinsettia Water Marble Nail Art Tutorial

[IamMe4662]

Do you have to add the colors to the water every time you dip a nail in?

[magiman1988]

@IamMe4662

yes.... she sad that in the "green video" and is logic :D

each finger and even more times if you don't get it in the way you wanted :) quite a job

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@IamMe4662 yes, although depending on the design you can dip more than one at a time =)

[shortymarleth]

what is the water temperature?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@shortymarleth it's room temperature filtered water =)

[MrsAyniaxGaga]

@SimpleLittlePleasues How you put the adhesive tape around your finger?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[calebboyd81]

that looks pretty but not as spiral water marble(8)

[walknfaith92]

Can you do this with 1 color?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@walknfaith92 well, I suppose, but you wouldn't get a design =)

[MsLoVeLiKeWoE15]

I tried this a little while ago, And i used the scotch tape so my fingure wouldnt get messy, but when i tried to get the tape off it pulled the polish off my nail too... Any tips?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MsLoVeLiKeWoE15 check out the taping tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how I apply & remove it =)

[marweebee123]

my colors never spread? what sohuld i do?



[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@marweebee123 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 =)

[NeyaWasHere]

my problem is the nail polish dries before i can make the design, what should i do with this?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@NeyaWasHere 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

[mstar998]

what is she using to draw the flower, is that pencil or something ?? if it's not, can i use a pencil instead of that ?? :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mstar998 it's an orange stick - you can use anything with a fine point =)

[HannahLVaughn]

and what kind of cup is best??? like a plastic or glass?????

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@HannahLVaughn I use a paper cup =)

[HannahLVaughn]

where do u get the sally hansen nail polish from?? i looked alot of places online and i still didnt find the colors.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@HannahLVaughn I get mine usually from walgreens or target =)

[bambamonkey]

what as she got the water and polish in?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@bambamonkey it's just a paper cup =)

[katelynkinzz]

this is really pretty :)

[PtitPluiDeLunEtiolE]

Sorry my English is approximate. I am fascinating by this nail art. Thanks

[ipOszje4012]

so beautyfull

[OrangePuppy10]

you're REALLY good at nail art!

[ally2497]

can I use a toothpick instead of an orange stick?

[MrJrCheeseBurger]

@ally2497 Yes.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ally2497 anything with a fine point will work =)

[andreadvkiely]

it's doesn't works on mine :/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@andreadvkiely Are you using room temperature filtered water?

[lucja03]

[hwkman12]

It ok! -_*:

[hwkman12]

This video us okay!-_- but its not one of the great nail desgins and she could do better cause 1st:I believe I u

[pocketfrogprincess16]

Amazing I love the flower! Beautiful nails. I suck at doing nails. I will try this tonight. What colours are the best in water marble?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@pocketfrogprincess16 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 =)

[peaceluvbiebs123]

why does the water look blue????

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@peaceluvbiebs123 it's tinted from the green polish =)

[Lelexi99]

Whoa, I thought It was a big bowl until I saw her fingers moving it and I was like WHAT THE HECK. But then I realized it was just a cup. haha.

[YZaynah]

That's awesome very creative

[MrSnuffian]

Im a man, and i find this amazing.

[WillsGirl2005]

Very nice! Very creative.

[Kanani1199]

REMEMBER TO KEEP WATER AT ROOM TEMP :P

[leahwormhoudt]

wow it's beautiful!!

[MaddyBabiee]

why don't my nail polishes spread like a bulls eye?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MaddyBabiee 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.

[Liekxx]

What brand of nail polish do you use most? So I can also buy those.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Liekxx 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.

[Liekxx]

I was looking for this SO long !

[mix1324]

hi i am having problems as well!! :( i have done them before a couple of times ( not an expert of course) but i have had some common problems as everyone else!! once i get to my 3rd drop it doesn't expand like it does on yours. it takes a whilleee and by the time its expanded the polish is dry and i cant pull on the polish :( what to doo please help!! :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mix1324 sometimes even colors that each spread on their own don't work well together - you just have to keep trying different colors & different combinations =)

[vevevevevevevevev]

Sorry but I have some problems, I hope you can help me to do this nail design :( ... First when I put the first nail polish into the water everything (Y), but when I put the second one, it doesn't expand itself, it just... it's a spot!!! What can I do?!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[cupcakesrule0211]

do you have to have white nails before you do it?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@cupcakesrule0211 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 =)

[flylikeacg]

how come the color doesnt "harden" up so fast? mine does :( what kinda water do you use?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@flylikeacg 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. I always use room temperature filtered water

[ItsGaizkaBitch]

You should do a video on how you do your make-up! It's beautiful!

[svhien]

Did you ever do water marble wrong sometimes?

because i do

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@svhien sometimes, but usually just when I'm doing my tests =)

[Othelie]

Now I kind of want to quit my job and find work where I'm allowed to have long nails.

[TheBeny98]

nice :)

[yumireiku]

This is way too much work for ONE nail at a time ._.

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@yumireiku I (obviously) disagree, but depending on the design you can dip more than one nail at a time =)

[yumireiku]

@SimpleLittlePleasues I love the designs, I've watched like 30 videos of yours today, but I just don't have the patience to do this. I have a hard enough time just painting my nails XD

[batistaerika4]

why does ur water look blue?



[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@batistaerika4 it's tinted from the green polish =)

[tasneemrainbow]

mine just failed miserably and sank to the bottom ¬¬

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@tasneemrainbow 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 are you using room temperature filtered water?

[aiixaPR]

i love water marble, people stare at my hands and ask me how do i do it, of course i owe it all to you so i link your videos to my friends, now they are all trying, i hope they could do it :)

[julyrose2010]

The water must be cold or hot? :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@julyrose2010 I always use room temperature filtered water =)

[MsChas77]

Why does this never work for me :(

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MsChas77 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 =)

[AlainaLeeMoxley]

Dear Simple little pleasures, I am a little scared to water marble, does it ruin your nail polish? Sincerely AlainaLeeMoxley (i love to do nails! :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@AlainaLeeMoxley no - your brush shouldn't actually touch the water, the polish should just drip off =)

[tarixy786]

Mines doesnt happen like that, It happens really bad. :/

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@tarixy786 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.

[FSipolatti]

muito perfeito !!!!!!!

[jessica061608ily]

Have you ever tried to do zebra or cheetah print?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@jessica061608ily not with marbling =)

[MsLolright]

you are the queen of watermarbling!

[Soccerrocker20]

Could i use one layer of the design for multiple nails ?? Or would that look messy ?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Soccerrocker20 yes - it all depends on the design you're doing =) I show dipping multiple nails in some of my other vids

[lanaAmour]

seems like an excess waist of nail polish

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@lanaAmour 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

[stephanieklooz11]

Older woman to my opinion seem trashy with colors with such a design

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@stephanieklooz11 ... seriously? what does the color of your nails have to do with being trashy? completely aside from the fact that 30 isn't that old LOL

[stephanieklooz11]

Needs a darker red. I like the water marble myself but some colors can be too little girlish. Js.

[PikaPikaSmiles]

i absolutely love your nails im soo jealous. haha. will does 99 cent nail polish work? and when u dip in ur nails, and then take it out with the designs do u still hafta wait til it dries? or its already dried?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@PikaPikaSmiles you can use any brand although not every color works - It’s mostly dry within a few minutes, then I use a quick-drying top coat =)

[popitzit12]

why do you need to clean the sides after u put it in?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@popitzit12 otherwise it will stick to your nail & ruin the design =)

[popitzit12]

@SimpleLittlePleasues oh thanksss.

[chihuahualover17]

oh cool!!!



[schnulliefee]

CUT YOUR NAILS!!!!!



[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@schnulliefee no =P if you don't like don't look

[hannebanana27]

It's so sooting to watch the nail polish spread out.. :)

[TheDreambelieber]

do u need to do that for every nail?????

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheDreambelieber for this design yes, others you can dip more than one at a time =)

[coco2948]

Does the water have to be filtered??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@coco2948 I always use room temperature filtered water from a Brita pitcher because 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 =)

[sexi2rude1]

whats in the cup...water...acetone???

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sexi2rude1 it's room temperature filtered water =)

[cocoloco5648u743]

does the nail polish have to be new?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@cocoloco5648u743 no =)

[whitedreams23]

isn't that orange stick-thingy just a piece of cut wood?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@whitedreams23 basically, yes =)

[whitedreams23]

@SimpleLittlePleasues haha! i am now using the end of a brush! works just fine ;)

[ILikeCheese770]

i have a problem so the first time i drop the colors it spreads out nicely but when i try to repeat the colors it does not really spread out could it be the nail polish the or the water

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ILikeCheese770 could be either - are you using room temperature filtered water? also sometimes even colors that each spread on their own don't work well together - you just have to keep trying different colors & different combinations =)

[tonightkills25]

Those are really cute and a very good idea! Thanks for this tutorial! ~Leah

[mandoloo96]

Varm or cold water!?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@mandoloo96 room temperature filtered water =)

[Ryanlauph]

Love how the green spreads slowly but the red just wooshes to the side :3

[Glamour462]

WOW!!! THIS IN INCREDIBLE!!!:DDD

[MsMemo1416]

VERE VERY VERY NICE

[tunes0022]

HOWWW?!?!! ive tried sooooo hard. how do u filter ur water? the filter on the tap faucet? cuz i have that and this still aint workin

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@tunes0022 I get my filtered water from a brita pitcher =)

[lahgazi]

WOW that is so cool!!

[TheNaruten]

do you have to add tape on the finger ? And if you have to , how do you put the tape ? Like all over the finger or what ? (:

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@TheNaruten it's not required but it's much messier without it - you can check out the taping tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how I apply it =)

[tunkuabdullah]

im a dude and i came here to look at the art!

[mygloriousnails]

Great design! Check out our channel! :D

[IamIzzyF]

the pink one like expoldes its so cool

[ievoons]

Does nail polish which are You using is based on water, the contain of them? Because mine polish (I have only few), are'nt making circles, they stay in a point like I put them in, and some are sinking :DD I'm really doing all like You! I watched all Your water marbling videos..

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ievoons it's just normal polish, although not all colors work =) also are you using room temperature filtered water?

[ievoons]

@SimpleLittlePleasues I think I was using quite cold water from a well, it's coming straight to my house. :) And I used a clean cup and the water was clean - I was watching - there was no layer. Maybe my polishes isn't working very well.. I will try some time again with new ones, when there will be posobility to by some. :) Thank You for Your responsiveness! :))

[GirlLovinLifee]

@ievoons I had this problem at first to but then i put a toothpic in the water before the colours and found it had like a clear layer just on top of the water, one I cleared that it seemed to work fine agiain?

[THEWOWZAPOP]

can you do this on natural nails that are short

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@THEWOWZAPOP my nails are natural - 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 =)

[leraandalina]

What temperature there should be a water?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@leraandalina I always use room temperature filtered water =)

[leraandalina]

@SimpleLittlePleasues

i see!!!! We very much liked your video!

[leraandalina]

@SimpleLittlePleasues thx!!!!!

[sasukewoof]

My polish always seems to mess up as I am pulling my nails out of the water. It seems to fold on top of itself... Is this my fault, my polish, or... What?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@sasukewoof I think it sounds like you may be using a little too much polish - try using a few less drops. The layer in the water should be very thin & shouldn't have any trouble sticking to your nail =)

[redirises]

beautiful! you're a marbling genius!

[ladds35]

Your so awsome!! love watching your tutorials, theyre so informative and you inspire me to do my nails each week. THANKS ;)

[DOKYNAILART]

is that hot filtred water or cold

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@DOKYNAILART room temperature =)

[Lindorize]

Compliments!

[TootsieRollTM]

It expands fast. o-o LOL. I love your videos~<3

[ievoons]

Hi! How do you apply the tape on the fingers? I cant figure it out by myself ehhh....Can you show it, or you did show somevhere it?? Please help me! :)))

You are the greatest nail designer guru on the youtube I've seen!!! Have a nice day!!! :)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

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

[animal8891]

I AM EXTRMLEY IN LOVE WITH YOUR VIDSSS :) 

[wildnuncontrollable]

can you use diffrent brands none of my nail polish is the same brand?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@wildnuncontrollable yes, although not all colors work it's fine to mix brands =)

[GagaLover2106]

3:59 Is that glitter I see?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@GagaLover2106 I added fairy dust on top of the marble for the finished look =)

[GagaLover2106]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Oh okay! So, if I finished painting my nails, and just dumped dry glitter on the nail, wouldn't that ruin the look, or would it be okay? 

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@GagaLover2106 well, it depends on the type of glitter - & I would recommend applying it lightly rather than dumping it LOL but it can work just as well as a glitter topcoat =)

[GagaLover2106]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Ohhh Okay. Woops. No more dumping. O__________O XDD

[herberth905]

you are so good i wish i was you

[MORENOR89]

I love this one alot!!!!! And it works if u use good nail polish , cheap brands just sink down good brands spread like on the video

[awesome4evr2778]

@ilicecreamx3 it does to work you are probably not doing it right...

[ilicecreamx3]

EPIC LIES IT DOESNT EVEN WORK

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@ilicecreamx3 yeah, I photoshopped the whole vid *eyeroll* & so did every fan who has posted pics on my facebook page =P

[ToyTelevision]

This looks beautiful!

[Kawasoky96]

is the water cold?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@Kawasoky96 it's room temperature filtered water =)

[Kawasoky96]

@SimpleLittlePleasues

thank you :)

[MsGagaFann]

@SimpleLuttlePleasues Do you need to touch the water or not? And need your water to be cold or hot?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@MsGagaFann the polish should usually just drip off =) I always use room temperature filtered water

[peacelovemandyy]

When you are water marbling do you have to coat your nails with white before you start, or can it be a different color?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@peacelovemandyy it doesn't have to be white - it's just the most neutral it doesn't change the color of the marble polish on top of it =)

[Juliatmll]

I did a YOUTUBE nail design if anyone wants to take a look! The video is on my channel :)

[yaz101202]

Do you think that this particular design will work on short nails?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@yaz101202 yes, although you may not get the whole flower design =)

[mrleggsdiamond]

@yaz101202 yes i do it alot
