How to: Flawless Water Marble Manicure!

So I remember the first time I came across a water marble nail art video on youtube, I got totally hooked! But I also remember that I tried and tried and just couldn’t get it right urgh

To all of those who don’t know what water marble is, don’t worry, Cyra‘s here for you :*

its just like marble cake except with nail colours and you can’t eat it

I thought we could start off with a simple tutorial and then move on the tips and tricks!

Isn’t it just GORGEOUS?!

And totally easy to do 😀

Here are a few things you girls need to keep in mind:

• Make sure the water is room temperature filtered water.
• Do NOT let the nail polish dry while in water.
• Wrap a material (preferably, transparent tape) around – but not on top of – your nail to make sure the nail colour does not come on your skin.
• If your nail polish still spreads on your skin, dip a q-tip in your nail polish remover and use to tidy up your beautiful manicure.
• Best nail polish brand for water marble manicures, from my experience is China Glaze.

Now here are a few of MY successful water marble nail art:

I don’t know about you but I’m a huge blue+purple fan!

These PINK hearts took a lot of trial and error but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do 😉

Its perfect for ♡ Valentine’s Day ♡

This is how you should make the designs on your cup for the hearts!

Now for something funky!

The BUMBLEBEE stripes!

I did this for my friend last Halloween:

All you have to do is make sure you make a black and yellow bullseye in your cup of water and use your toothpick to make straight lines left and right.

Its not necessary the stripes have to be yellow and black:

This Midnight Blue and Silver look is perfect for a date, girls night out or a late night party!

Here’s a really COLOURFUL and adorable one:

Perfect for a fun day at the beach or an afternoon picnic ✿

If you have really long nails like my sister’s then you can even do a half marble and accessorise it with some gems or beads *_*

Did this for my sister on her wedding. (Love you Anyla!)

So that’s it for water marble manicures.

Hope you try it and LOVE IT!

Kisses,
