So this is my Day 1 post for the Nail-aween Nail Art Challenge from datyorkLOVES/SassyNails. There are 10 themes and I have to complete all of them by the end of October, but other than that, it’s self-paced.
So today’s theme is water marble. I’m not that happy with the way it came out. I tried to fix it, and I think that made it worse. Alas.
I started with two coats of Ulta Snow White and then moved on to the water marble. I went with Halloween colors: black – Orly Liquid Vinyl; orange – Zoya Jancyn; purple – Sally Hansen Rock Hard; and white – Ulta Snow White.
When I was done, I thought some of them looked a little messy so I tried to camouflage with some dots, using Sally Hansen Rock Hard. The polish was a bit on the sheer side, so then I started with a dot of Ulta Snow White and laid a dot of Rock Hard on top of it. Mistake. They didn’t look that great, and the smeared a bit on my index finger when I added a coat of Poshe fast dry top coat, making it look messier than it really was. I should have just left well enough alone and not tried to add the dots.
Cleanup was a little tough with this; I suppose that’s par for the course.
I did like the way the middle finger came out,and the ring finger almost looked like a spider web.

Water marbling is definitely tricky!! I love the color combo you used – that’s usually what gets me is choosing the right colors. My water marble for this challenge was only my second attempt, taping up my fingers before dipping helped with the clean up, but I hear ya, it is a bit of a pain!!
Somehow I actually forgot to tape my thumb, which is why the cleanup looks particularly bad on that one!
