#44 Water Marble March #5 It's not March anymore!

One day late, but I still wanted to upload to finish te Water Marble March 

When I started this tutorial I used totally different colours, but those didn't watermarble well, so I tried different colours.. and those didn't worked well too. I almost wanted to stop and just give up. But I decided to try one more time with different colours and fresh water

And it worked! 

For this water marble I used two colours. A limited edtion from Catrice. 'LOVEnder' and 'Paralilac'

#43 Water Marble March #4 ~ Three colour flower~

The month march is almost over, and I have two water marble tutorials left. This one and one other! At least I hope to get one other tutorial up, it really depends on if I have to work or not. But I'll try my hardest! 

Normally I dip one finger in the design at a time, I find this gives me better control on the finished result on my nails. But for this tutorial I decided to dip three fingers in at one time. And guess what, I didn't film the dipping in part! :'( I was so sad when I found that out! For a while I was thinking about not uploading the tutorial, but I did anyway. Just because I think dipping more than one finger in at a time isn't really that much different than just dipping in one finger. So yeah.. 

But however I'm still pleased with the end result! 

For this water marble I used three colours from Catrice. All from the limited edition collection 'Eve in Bloom' The darker purple/pink 'Bed of Flowers' The pastel orange 'Blossom me, Blossom you' And the pastel yellow 'Bloomynous'

Next time I won't forget to film all of the tutorial! ;) 

Have fun painting and creating,

#42 Water Marble March #3 ~Two colour Swirl~

The fourth and almost last water marble tutorial for the water marble march! I hope to upload two more tutorials on my channel to close off the month! ;) 

But for today I made a swirl water marble with two pink colours. Again both from Catrice. The light pink is called 'You better think pink' and the dark pink is called 'The pinky and the brain'. Both worked perfect, they spread pretty quick in the water and don't lose their bright colour when you apply the design on your nail!

#40 Water Marble March #1 ~ Two Colour Flowers ~

The first Water marble nail art for water marble march! It has been a while since I did a water marble nail art so I had to redo some of the nails because I didn't liked the outcome to much.. Maybe water marble isn't the best thing for a über perfectionist like myself ;) But I like water marbleing to much!

#39 Water Marble March - Prepping!

Before I start the water marble tutorials, I thought it would be smart to start at the beginning ;) The prep! 

I made a quick and short video on how I prepare my nails before I start with water marble. The things I use are:

1. basecoat, 
2. white polish,
3. tape. 

You don't have to use tape, you can also grease your fingers with vaseline to help with the clean up. How ever I prefer using tape. It dries out my fingers a little bit but thats using a little bit of handcream and the dryness is gone ;) 

Again you don't have to use a white polish as a base colour, you can also use the lightest colour of the colours you are going to water marble with. For instance: if you use two colours; a bright yellow and a green polish. You can use the bright yellow polish as a base colour.

#21 Halloween water marble

Messy Halloween Water Marble

Here's another Halloween inspired manicure! A messy water marble. I deliberately choose to make this water marble not so neat and tidy just because I thought Halloween isn't about things being neat and tidy ;) 

After I finished filming this manicure, I really didn't like the endresult. I thought it looks awful and like someone who never ever ever had done water marbling did my nails. But after a few times, I got used to the look and started to like them. Then I decided to edit the clips and make a tutorial for this manicure, even after I wasn't planning to. 

 
I like the way my index and tumb turned out. Sadly some bubbles popped and you can see the white polish on some spots. But hey, that's a risk with water marbling :)

The polishes I used for this manicure

In the tutorial I already had painted my nails with a base and a white polish. And I taped my nails to help with the clean up afterwards. I will post a tutorial on how I tape my nails soon! 

If you feel inspired by this look and recreate it, I would love to see what you did! If you have instagram, just use the hashtag #dutchnailss and I will see your design! :D

I made a tutorial for this manicure. If you want to see exactly how I did this you can click right here and you'll go to my youtube channel.

Black & White challenge! part9! #14

Black and Yellow water marble

I like doing water marble, it's a lot of work but I always like the results. For this water marble I wanted to use black and white. But the white polish I own sadly doesn't work very well for water marble. So I switched the white for a light yellow. I will eventually make a tutorial how I do my water marbles. But for now, this is the end result of the black and yellow water marble

 
The polishes I used are listed below

If you feel inspired by this look and recreate it, I would love to see what you did! If you have instagram, just use the hashtag #dutchnailss and I will see your design! :D
