Hi, I've got problems with the nail polish, Well mine dries quickly so whenever the first drop is in, the second drop of nail polish doesn't spread out because the first one has already dried. :( i tried changing brands, but i dunno :/ it's the same.
@sisiwbabes 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
Oky this maybe a silly question but do you use anything on your nail before dpping it in the water to make it stay, and just the nail itself? Im super dying to do this.
@tjandbeth311 I clean up as much as I can, if there is still residue I'll take one drop of polish over the whole surface, let it dry & pull up the whole piece, it will grab any tiny bits also =)
@SimpleLittlePleasues Thanks for the quick reply! I've done 2 water marbles so far and they've turned out pretty good. Practice makes perfect! If nothing else I can just pour out the water and start over!
I cannot seem to get this right. When I drop the polish in, it doesn't spread out like yours. The water seems to be right, not cold. And if it does spread, when I try to swirl it as soon as my toothpick makes contact with the polish it clumps up on the toothpick. Do u have any tips, like "make sure you..."?? I'm dying to do this, and it's extremely frustrating. It's so easy for you!!!
@wuteveryouwant are you using filtered water? other than that, it's just 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 =)
@BlackAsianMs 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 =)
@iheartflowers8 what do you mean by beachy? there's also the ocean waves design but with fall coming I am not too much in a beachy mode LOL. 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 =)
@sweetashxx1 if it's colors you requested, it can be - if it's not what you had in mind then you need to be more specific =) I get a lot of requests for all color combinations so I rarely do anything for a single request
@YuCraveTiny 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 =)
I try dis on monday & my nail polish kept goin down it didn't spread at all ; do da water suppose 2 be cold? ; yu could use paper cups or any cups & bowls??
@YuCraveTiny 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 =) I always use room temperature filtered water. You can use any container, but polish does spread better in a small container & stay away from styrofoam as polish can dissolve it
I love seeing your tutorials come to my inbox! Although I still have NOT mastered water marble, you're a great inspiration to trying it again and again until I do *smiles*!
@niala66846 I don't really have any special tips other than what I share in the vids - it just takes practice =) the more you do the better you'll get
@justsallme sometimes even colors that each spread on their own don't work well together - you just have to keep trying different colors & different combinations =)
wat kind of nail polish are u using?and is it just a simple polish? no added something on that because i tried the marble nail art with my nail polish the polish doesn't spread out? wat should i do?
@preciouscadion the colors are all listed in the information box - it's normal polish, but not every color works & it's also important to use room temperature filtered water =)
@SimpleLittlePleasues I actually it works but the problem is that its always by the side and when it's normal and I madethe drawing from all varnished with the object
@belgaportugaisa are you using room temperature filtered water? also it seems to be easier in a small cup so if you're using a larger bowl I'd say find a smaller container =)
@11stefff 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 =)
I am completely floored...your nail art is sooooooo beautiful. I just recently started designing my own nails and I will try this on my own....This is so awesome!!!!
i've done this 2 times and i fail everytime . ur video on short nails really helped me but i still am havin trouble getting my finger NOT to miss the design . i guess if i keep practicing ... i''ll get better . (yn) Thanks again .

At first I was a big fan...so cool how she could make her nails look! Then I relized all she is doing is the same thing with different colors.woopie... And for that UNSUBSCRIBE
@amberkim2010 Plastic is okay, too. And I have NO idea, but they just do not work as well at all. Styrophome gets holes in it from the polish after a while, too. Which is unfortunate.
@SimpleLittlePleasure thx sooo much!! xD and srry but i have one more questions can these designs work on short nails cuz i cant keep my nails long cuz i have to play piano :]
@FaithSTARlee 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 =)
I tried the water marble today and I think mines came out pretty decent. Its just hard to get those nice designs u do. But practice makes perfect. Love your work! :)
I was really excited about trying this but it has not worked out. My polish is drying to quickly and often it is not spreading I tried for hours to get this done. What may be the problem?
@lilacvoice are you using filtred water? also 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
@SimpleLittlePleasures oh thx x] and i have two more questions: my dotting tool has this one end that said it could be used for water marbling can i use that instead? And also can i use room temperature bottled water?
@FaithSTARlee anything with a fine point will work to draw the design =) I haven't tried bottled myself but it should be fine as long as there are no additives
@bifmy 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
OK, I finally got up the courage to try water marbling last night. I had a Dixie cup of room temperature filtered water, and I chose southwest colors: dark brown, coral, teal, peach, and a shimmery white. My polish would start out ok, but by the 4th or 5th drop, it refused to spread out anymore. Several times by the time I was ready to draw a design, it was completely dry and my toothpick just picked up all the polish! I was very quick with dropping the colors, so I guess I need to try again!
@dollcina Yes - if you can't find similar colors that dry slower, another option is to do the first few rings with a color you know dries slowly, then use the colors that you really want just in the center so they don't have as much time to dry =)
@SimpleLittlePleasues I tryed doing something, i had all the nail polishes i needed from the same brand, so when i put in the red put it didnt speard room tepreatrd water, but when i put the yellow it worked. Do u know what is the problem? Please replay!!
@Lpstigerproductions not every color works, and sometimes even colors that each spread on their own don't work well together - you just have to keep trying different colors & different combinations =)
My polish won't even spread ! I use filtered room temperature water , and no matter what nail polish I use , it sticks together . When I poke my orange stick in , it turns dry :| Any tips ? .
@XxIHeartCupcakesxX 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
you're so good about answering questions so let me go ahead and ask: When I drag my stick through, the outermost ring always drags. I noticed that you kind of aimed your stick towards the third ring...is this to avoid the dragging? It's like the outer ring dries too much...what do you think?
@TiffanyTries sometimes the outer ring does dry faster than the others - I think I maybe subconciously start a little ways in, also when you dip your nail you rarely go all the way to the edge of the cup so the middle is where the design really needs to be best =)
@mentalblender777 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 =)
@karianne430 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 =)
Very pretty! I'm hoping to see some "B roll" footage, or Bloopers someday so I don't feel so bad about all the mistakes I make when water-marbling. hehe
Thanks for explaining your blog a bit on this video. I always wondered why you mentioned it at the end of your videos and now that I know what's there, I'm likely to spend more time looking at your blog.
@Annabettin I do plan on doing a "fail" vid, I had some colors I was SURE would work together & it was a gigantic fail LOL. This weekend is turning out even busier than I thought though so not sure when I will get to it =)
@medasst100 It's on my to-do list to do a comparison between taping & lotion or vaseline/chapstick etc, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Aside from the fact that it seems like it would be very messy, several viewers have told me that they can leave a residue in the water that makes it harder to do the next designs, which is why I've stuck with tape so far =)
my first water marbling attempt was ok I guess. I have to keep trying and as far as the taping technique... too difficult. I put a few drops of polish remover to room temp Tap water and it worked out ok... I think I should have waited a little longer for my base coat to dry before I dipped. and then, I sorta smudged it taking the tape off. (BTW, please don't be a dunce like me and tape both hands at the same time..LOL) I have an idea about a remedy for that.. will update later. Keep trying tho.♥
So pretty! I love the blues and the hint of glitter - I fail at water marble too - but keep watching any ways in case I can pick up a useful technique or hint like how you do thumb and pointing finger at same time.
are you a pratesional

@amberkim2010 why?
XxDevineSorrowxX 6 months ago
@amberkim2010 Plastic is okay, too. And I have NO idea, but they just do not work as well at all. Styrophome gets holes in it from the polish after a while, too. Which is unfortunate.

@SimpleLittlePleasure thx sooo much!! xD and srry but i have one more questions can these designs work on short nails cuz i cant keep my nails long cuz i have to play piano :]
FaithSTARlee 6 months ago
@FaithSTARlee 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 =)
SimpleLittlePleasues 6 months ago
I tried the water marble today and I think mines came out pretty decent. Its just hard to get those nice designs u do. But practice makes perfect. Love your work! :)
xoxnelly07xox 6 months ago
I was really excited about trying this but it has not worked out. My polish is drying to quickly and often it is not spreading I tried for hours to get this done. What may be the problem?
lilacvoice 6 months ago
@lilacvoice are you using filtred water? also 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
SimpleLittlePleasues 6 months ago
@SimpleLittlePleasures oh thx x] and i have two more questions: my dotting tool has this one end that said it could be used for water marbling can i use that instead? And also can i use room temperature bottled water?
FaithSTARlee 6 months ago
@FaithSTARlee anything with a fine point will work to draw the design =) I haven't tried bottled myself but it should be fine as long as there are no additives
SimpleLittlePleasues 6 months ago
when i try to draw my design using my toothpick, the entire pool of polish sticks to the stick. any solutions or steps that I did wrong?

@SimpleLittlePleasues ah! I always sit in front of a fan. no wonder! thanks so much

OK, I finally got up the courage to try water marbling last night. I had a Dixie cup of room temperature filtered water, and I chose southwest colors: dark brown, coral, teal, peach, and a shimmery white. My polish would start out ok, but by the 4th or 5th drop, it refused to spread out anymore. Several times by the time I was ready to draw a design, it was completely dry and my toothpick just picked up all the polish! I was very quick with dropping the colors, so I guess I need to try again!
dollcina 6 months ago
@dollcina Yes - if you can't find similar colors that dry slower, another option is to do the first few rings with a color you know dries slowly, then use the colors that you really want just in the center so they don't have as much time to dry =)
SimpleLittlePleasues 6 months ago
@SimpleLittlePleasues I tryed doing something, i had all the nail polishes i needed from the same brand, so when i put in the red put it didnt speard room tepreatrd water, but when i put the yellow it worked. Do u know what is the problem? Please replay!!
Lpstigerproductions 6 months ago
@Lpstigerproductions not every color works, and sometimes even colors that each spread on their own don't work well together - you just have to keep trying different colors & different combinations =)

My polish won't even spread ! I use filtered room temperature water , and no matter what nail polish I use , it sticks together . When I poke my orange stick in , it turns dry :| Any tips ? .

SimpleLittlePleasues 6 months ago
you're so good about answering questions so let me go ahead and ask: When I drag my stick through, the outermost ring always drags. I noticed that you kind of aimed your stick towards the third ring...is this to avoid the dragging? It's like the outer ring dries too much...what do you think?
TiffanyTries 6 months ago
@TiffanyTries sometimes the outer ring does dry faster than the others - I think I maybe subconciously start a little ways in, also when you dip your nail you rarely go all the way to the edge of the cup so the middle is where the design really needs to be best =)

idk what to say or how i feel right now cuz i cant breath because of how amazing that was....so im just gonna say apples.

hi amm I try to do the water marble but the paint nails is not expanded why ¿'
mentalblender777 6 months ago
@mentalblender777 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 =)
SimpleLittlePleasues 6 months ago
@karianne430 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 =)
SimpleLittlePleasues 6 months ago
you can cover your finger around the nail with nail polish ! it equals easy clean-up & a lot less hassle then putting tape all around. :)
mebeamaris 6 months ago
Very pretty! I'm hoping to see some "B roll" footage, or Bloopers someday so I don't feel so bad about all the mistakes I make when water-marbling. hehe
Thanks for explaining your blog a bit on this video. I always wondered why you mentioned it at the end of your videos and now that I know what's there, I'm likely to spend more time looking at your blog.

@Annabettin I do plan on doing a "fail" vid, I had some colors I was SURE would work together & it was a gigantic fail LOL. This weekend is turning out even busier than I thought though so not sure when I will get to it =)

did you know that you can use chapstix on your fingers instead of tape?
medasst100 6 months ago
@medasst100 It's on my to-do list to do a comparison between taping & lotion or vaseline/chapstick etc, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Aside from the fact that it seems like it would be very messy, several viewers have told me that they can leave a residue in the water that makes it harder to do the next designs, which is why I've stuck with tape so far =)
SimpleLittlePleasues 6 months ago
my first water marbling attempt was ok I guess. I have to keep trying and as far as the taping technique... too difficult. I put a few drops of polish remover to room temp Tap water and it worked out ok... I think I should have waited a little longer for my base coat to dry before I dipped. and then, I sorta smudged it taking the tape off. (BTW, please don't be a dunce like me and tape both hands at the same time..LOL) I have an idea about a remedy for that.. will update later. Keep trying tho.♥

@FaithSTARlee You can use any brand of polish, but not every color works =)
SimpleLittlePleasues 6 months ago
So pretty! I love the blues and the hint of glitter - I fail at water marble too - but keep watching any ways in case I can pick up a useful technique or hint like how you do thumb and pointing finger at same time.
