A nail art milestone for me! While the rest of the nailworld are doing all sorts of watermarbling acrobatics... I got left on the bench sitting, as a spectator, both in awe and envy 'coz I've been failing even on the basics.
With persistence, I finally made it!! (Well kinda... Here, i didn't drag the polish to do the design)
With the help of Weens polishes, which by the way are the only local polishes that surprisingly work so well with watermarbling technique (for me).
I started with a room temperature distilled water placed in a small disposable cup. I used Weens nail polishes (white satin[as base], colorless, tea rose, melon, sweet surprise, green tea, aquarius & envy).
First, I applied El Corazon Kaleidoscope Cuticle Defender. Then on a cup filled with room temp. water I begin to dropped in a blob of colorless, then dropped in a blob of tea rose right in the center, then the next color. Until I was happy with what it looked. Dip your nail into it slowly at an angel on the top of the design you like the most. Use a q-tip to clean the leftover polishes on the surface of the water, then slowly remove your nail/finger from the water. Peel off the latex barrier and then clean up all the remaining mess using a clean-up brush & Weens scented Acetone.

What you think you cannot do in watermarbling you definitely make up in free hand art...I cannot do that to save my life...you are very good at free hand art!!
