Hi Colette, I think your videos are wonderful, and very informative. I apologize if you have already addressed this issue, I have been unable to find a video that answers this question. I have been trying to master water marbling for a few months now. My main problem has been bubbles on the nail. Do you have any advice on avoiding bubbles, or getting rid of them if you do happen to get them? Thank you so much!

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@pebbles802 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 or shake off, you can use the corner of a paper towel to absorb them. HTH =)

I have 2 questions=) how do you protect your finger from getting dry and does it matter what kind of nail polish remover you use??

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@youngmakeuploverali for clean up I use 100% acetone - it can be drying but just moisturize once your manicure is dry =)

[BongoAndBoingo]

So the polish remover won't damage the brush, right?

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@BongoAndBoingo no - at least, not the one I have =)

[SimpleLittlePleasues]

@hippolover120 yes, I always recommend base & top coats =)

@mrsengaz do you just mean blue & white or like an actual cloud design?

[pebbles802]

@SimpleLittlePleasues Yes it does, thank you so much! :o)

Your marbling tutorials are great but the extra how-to's that you have posted make them perfect, it makes me well-equipped and knowledgeable before I get started, and also makes a first time attempt more succesful
