The best thing to do is paint the nail white first to give a good base coat.
Then drip the varnish or paint into the cold water, Let it spread out well before you dip the nail into it.You can use a small stick to swirl it around this will give a nice pattern. Also always do the light colours first.

The other option is sponging which looks great - have you tried that?
 
No i havent how do you do it?
 
  1. base nail with basecoat and base colour of choice
    [*]press the sponge, damp is best, in acrylic paint...........
    [*]press sponge on paper to remove excess paint............
    [*]press onto the nail................ just like when you sponge effect a wall............
    [*]then change colour and follow steps 2-4, then seal art with top coat............

I dont have that option - its probably coz i'm not a premium geek so i'm afraid you're gonna have to imagine my pics or go to my website and have a look - they're on one of my galleries, lol!!
 
Caz, you can always take out a pic if its an old one and replace it with a new one in your gallery, thats what i did, that way you can update your pics if you do something better.
 
Saying that i doubt you can at the mo.....oops sorry Sam, i realise you are busy, trying to have your holiday, so keep having a good time and dont worry about the site.
