[xephann07]

[IndigoNova1]

@xephann07 Yep, some will work, some won't, you just have to experiment :)

[EliAmbrosia]

My mind has been blown. I can't even. I liked this before I even watched it. Wow.

[kelseypm4]

wow! i usually think water marbling looks tacky, but this is really cool!! i love the flowers and dots... that just makes it awesome!



[MissesCreativeNails]

I like yours better ;)

[meirles]

I love your natural nails! I can't stand the "claw" nails look, so it's nice to see some short nails with awesome designs on them! :)

@ics2209 I put my water thru the coffee maker then add small bits of cool water & just wait for it to cool down, trying it every minute or so until it spreads easily but doesn't try quickly. PATIENCE! it took me about 2 hours to do the designs on all my nails.

@IndigoNova1 I use filtered but I'm going to try mineral. I did this design sort of. Marbling hasn't been easy for me. I know practice practice...I painted mine white, and i changed from a small plastic cup to the shot glass. The shot glass size helped I think. The flowers were a 'no go' I'm afraid :(
