Prettynpierced I love the pink/yellow marble! Its easier to clean them up if you tape your fingers. I did a marble tut on my blog http://eyelinerandspraypaint.blogspot.c ... bling.html or go check out mysimplelittlepleasure on YT, shes the best.

Some recent offerings. Sorry the pics are massive, I resize them for my blog and I can't be bothered to do them again!

I actually ditched the tape idea. too messy and the air bubbles were an issue. so i used paw paw oinment instead.
:o works perfect cause all i do is wipe it off and my finger and nails are clean. im going to do another look tonight cause im going out tomorrow night to see a band with my bf and a few friends. not sure what colours i'll decide on but i'll post them on here when im done for sure ;)

thanks for the heads up on your tutorial. i'll check it out :P

I was happy to leave my nails just black, they looked so shiny. But i didn't because i tried the water marbling again.
Although a few nails didn't go the way i wanted them too they still turned out pretty awesome.

As a base i used Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardener (my nails are loving this stuff

Base for the marbling i used OPI- Black Onyx.
For the marble affect i used Rimmel 60 seconds Rapid Ruby and Zeitgeist, Jac Cosmetics Fresh Paint and OPI Alpine Snow.

For the top coat i used Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat. (keeps them shiny and chip free for days)

This one i titled - Dark Magic.
