For this week's Polisher's Inc. challenge we are trying out a new technique! I tried a new water marble technique, I've done water marble two times before, but the traditional way of dipping my finger into the water. Creating a horrible mess and lots of clean up.
This time I tried the stamper technique! I dipped my stamper into the water and let the design dry on my stamper. Once it was dry I applied a layer of top coat and waited for that to dry, then I peeled the design off the stamper and applied it to my nail like a decal!
Sooo much easier! If I didn't like how the design turned out I could just clean off my stamper and do a new one, instead of doing my entire nail all over again. This will make water marbles so much simpler!
I tried to do a Christmas themed marble, using OPI - Alpine Snow, A England - Rose Bower and Cirque - Erda. Erda was unfortunately a bit sheer, so the green in this manicure might be too light for it to be "super Christmasy", but Rose Bower worked pretty well for marbling!
Check out what the other girls have done for this challenge!
Hmmm ... that's an interesting idea for watermarble. I love the look, but I've not tried watermarble so far because of the mess and the apparent difficulty. This might be a better place for me to start. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Nice to know about that new technique for a water marble manicure. Might have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting! I've never tried that before but since I absolutely dread water marbling, this could suit me better :D
ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting! I haven't tried this technique before, so I might have to do that. And the mani looks cute :)
ReplyDeleteGood job with water marbling, this looks really good! :) Interesting technique, I really like water marbling, so I might need to try it that way too. :)
