Water + nail polish = awesomeness!

I don't care what people are saying about water marbling but it's fun! You don't need fancy polish or special water, I've been using my stash of L.A Color polishes from the dollar tree and they work amazingly in my ordinary tap water. What I like about this is that the possibilities are endless...and you don't need to struggle with doing your other hand.

What you will need, plus scissors and tweezers.
Start with one coat of base
 and a coat of white.


tape your nail.
Make your bullseye, let each drop spread before adding more
don't just pour it in!
draw your design. then pick your best spot to dip.
dip try to keep your nail flat into the water,
keep your nail submerged, blow and clean the excess on the water
with a q-tip. slowly remove your finger.
remove tape and clean any polish on the skin.
then repeat LOL! 
be careful cleaning around the cuticle - not like me :(
I boo booed! apply 2 coats of top coat when done!
