Water marbling with gel polish

[An*Gel]

Hi girls. Can u please critique my shellac marbling. This is my first go and I think they look ok. The only thing that's bugging me is that I used 3 colours on a few of them and I don't think it shows up that well. Am I doing something wrong? Sorry the pics a bit pants. I had to do it on my phone xView attachment 12520

Are you using your dotting tool to swirl the colours?

I think you'll get a better effect if you use a toothpick and you'll be able to see the colours a bit better that way.

They look lovely well done!

Only thing id recommend is also not over swirling and using a tooth pick/blunt pin as can create cleaner swirls! Swirl in a continual / repeated pattern too.

Happy marbelling and well done again xx

You can Def mix shellac colors. But not all brands can be mixed. I have a gold one from lechat, and whenever I marble it with shellac or gelac it takes twice as long to remove.

If you love the look of actual water marble with polish, just do it over your shellac or gelish. It will stay. I've done it.

The more dots the better if you ask me

I usually use three different colours for my dots and then really lightly swirl them using an S motion.

Thanks for all the advice everyone I done my own the other day, used more dots and they look much better. I shall keep practicing x

I've had a go with shellac-going to do them on my daughter tomorrow! Xx

I love the purple one on the left. What did you do & use to get the look?x

 

[Pooh8bear]

I did this back in September when I first started, but haven't done it on any clients as I was under the impression that we could not mix shellac colours only layer.

Can someone clarify whether we are able to mix Shellac colours together or not please ?

Resurrecting this after a search
Was just wondering on the longevity of these, seeing as you need to do your second coat with marbling thicker. Any help greatly received xxx
