Yet another go at water marbling!!!

Yet another go at water marbling!!!

Yes I've been at it again.......this is my 3rd attempt at water marbling. I thought I'd try and use some different colour contrasts.

Just thought I'd put them on here to see what you guys thought.
Any constructive criticism is welcome.....or perhaps other ideas that I could do with this technique.

Much appreciated!

I really like that... got to say though, they're a bit messy around the edges.

I seem to be having a few problems with the messy edges!! I've tried using a corrector pen, a cotton wool bud soaked in enamel remover and even rubbed in stacks of Solar Oil to try and loosen it off. Can't seem to get that perfect finish.........

Any ideas
What else could I try.
Let's face it , you could have the best design in the world but if the finish isn't good it lets the whole thing down.

An old L+P brush (or similar) dipped in Nailfresh should do the trick

Is this similar to Scrubfresh as I don't have any NailFresh?

Nailfresh contains ether so it evaporates quickly, but Scrubfresh will do the job. The acetone content is what makes it fab to use for 'tidying up', it's easier to do when the nails are 'just' polished.

Its fantastic!!!! Little help and from me how u can use your pen corrector - take a small glass put inside aceton( Scrubfresh- never try it to clean with it), deep your pen there and wipe on paper. With this way u can keep fresh and clean your pen without need to change the apex every time.

great colour combo .. like Sandi says get some nail fresh for those edges..

It is a fab product and just melts the enamel into the nail plate. I've only been using it for a few months, after reading all the benefits on here, but Its made a huge differences in the finish of my colour application (especially dark shades!!)

great for lift prone clients also.

Try that tip I said before.. about dipping the nail in either nail varnish remover or scrubfresh if you prefer. Then wipe the nail where you want the pattern to stick and make sure its a CLEAN IMAGINARY LINE you are wiping. you'll see its perfect that way.
HTH xxx

Lovely use of colours by the way. You are really into this now arent you? LOL
