Red, Blue and Purple Water Marble (52 Week Challenge)

I’ve combined the two 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge prompts this week, for a red, blue and purple water marble manicure.

I used Nella Milano polishes, which water marbled really well. They spread easily in the water and didn’t split or disperse when I dragged through them. I used The Rubinator (red), True Blue (blue) and A Royal Affair (purple) for a stripey water marble effect. You can see my white undies poking through. I still get this whenever I clean up – let me know if you have any tips to avoid it.

I wanted to do all my fingers, but I hadn’t left the white base long enough to dry, so most of them didn’t work out well because I knocked them or was too clumsy getting any water bubbles off. I was left with two good ones on my left hand, so stuck with those and painted plain blue and red on the other nails (with purple on my non-photographed thumb nail).
