Black & White Watermarble

Hi lovely people!

I have so so much going on with uni work at the moment so this will be a short sweet post. I did a water marble a couple of weeks back and lets just say it was not the easiest time I've had. It was a really cold night and I couldn't make any of my polishes that are usually fine work. Anyway eventually this happened...





I can't even tell you how many polishes I tried the night I did this. It looked as though some polish explosion had happened afterwards though, as there were bottles of polish EVERYWHERE! In the end I had to go back to my trusty a-england 'Camelot' and OPI 'My Boyfriend Scales Walls' and this time I added INM 'Northern Lights' to the mix. I also put a layer of 'Northern Lights' over the top of everything too to give a teeny bit more sparkle.


Overall I don't think this came out too bad. Lots of people seemed to like it, but I just knew how much trouble it was, so for that reason alone I couldn't love it too much... Anyway, hopefully next time I have a little more luck.

      Aw thanks so much! I don't usually have so much trouble as this (only if I'm visiting my family in a colder city). Glad I managed to get something ok out of it in the end though :)

      Hi Rachel. From personal experience there are 2 things that seem to make all the difference. Temperature, if you live some where really cold, make sure the water AND the polish are not too cold. And the type of polish. Some polishes will work well with some but not with others. I have found found some brands much easier to use than others (OPI and a-England work best for me). I think the main thing is finding what works best for you which can be frustrating. Just keep playing.
