I tried having a talk with my nails. Went great. Really.
Me: hey thumb, I'm going to clean you up now.
Thumb: no, no you're not. i'm gonna give you hell, kid.
Me: hey ring finger, what are you doing?
Ring finger: raging against the machine cathryn, raging against the machine
Me: pinky, you ok? what happened?
Pinky: herpaderp
Me: oh btw, index finger, what's with that weird glare you got there, you know the one not caused by light?
Index finger: black magic.
LOL OH WELL!
I think they look cute so not a fail!
ReplyDeleteYour commentary made me literally L O L!! just keep trying! You just need to remember to pick a spot you like in the cup and go SLOW! GOOD LUCK!! <3
ReplyDeletethey really don't look too bad! xx
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAH, herp derp derp. XD I love your commentary. I think your middle finger turned out quite nice! I have yet to even get this far in water marbling, so you've got me beat. >:P
ReplyDeletethanks, all! my middle finger did come out pretty nice, which is why i didnt converse with it LOL i have the technique down, for the most part, but the edges are always gapped and the basecoat shows through too much.. its ok though, well all get there!
ReplyDeleteI died... since when were you this creative? xP
ReplyDeleteI think they didn't turn out that bad :D But I saw this tip somewhere that might help with the cleanup. Before you dip your fingers into the polish/water mix, you should coat every part except the nail with petroleum jelly. Then just wipe the polish residue on your fingers with a tissue or something. It comes off much more easily.
ReplyDelete@Pearl Lynn- i tried that once and it was a mess. but maybe i was just not being careful enough. will try again next time because the tape causes bubbles on the sides for me!
