Teal and Purple Water Marble

Hurray for marble! Is it time consuming? Yes! Is it messy? Yes! Does it waste perfectly good nail polish? Yes! Is it frustrating? Hell yes! Does it look OMGAWESOME?! YES IT DOES!

My local walgreens is having a sale on Sinful Colors nail polish, 99cents per bottle. I had pretty much exhausted my options for polishes that spread well duing water marbeling (and they were mostly pink, blech!), so I set out speciffically to find colors that would look nice together. I came out with Let's Talk, a deep purple shimmer, and Rise and Shine, a teal cream. I also picked up Snow Me White (which is a very dirty name, in my opinion), to use as the base.

This time, I made my own video to help others looking to duplicate the pattern. Here is the most important part: distilled water. Using tap water is simply an excercise in frustration.

The finished product, including Sally Hansen's Mega Shine topcoat:

And up-close!

Not too shabby! I'm especially pleased with how vibrant the white base made the marbled colors.

I picked up a few other things while I was out, including Sinful's Hottie, a blue holo glitter, and Kaleidoscope by Wet n' Wild. I know, I know...Wet n' Wild is the cheap stuff right? This might be true, but their Gray's Anatomy lasted a hell of a lot longer, and in my opinion, even looked better than OPI's Not Like the Movies. And hey, it's always 99cents!
