Yep regular polish, I've only tried it a few times, it drives me insane.
You'll find different polishes dry at different speeds and some colours show a lot better than others. You'll need to work quite quickly to avoid it drying as you drag to create a pattern in the water and some people say filtered water works better. Quite messy too! Lasts as well as polish usually lasts.

I used an old yoghurt pot and orange wood stick and also taped around my nails to avoid getting polish everywhere There's loads of YT vids on water marbling.

I love the look of water marbling but I really cannot get the hang of it! I've tried lots of different brands of polish but to no avail - I don't think there is any secret on how to do it, I think it's just trial and error, really wish I could could master this technique as I love the results!! Like rory love said there are lots of vids on youtube (I get so jealous watching those talented ladies!) xx
