    I loooooove this look but can never get it too look right. It's also a fuck ton of effort that wastes a fair bit of nail polish.

    It'll only glow in UV lighting of you use UV light nail polish.

    I'm just considering trying out the shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day.... such a shame I didn't see this before Valentine's Day... the hearts I've seen made with this technique are soooo cute!

    I love marbled nails they look so cool! They're a bitch to clean up though so I don't do them as often.

    Have you tried Konad nail stamps? I like using those a lot for different patterns and they're a little easier to work with and they have a bunch of cute designs!

    Me either! Hah.

    I tried it last night... oh my... I need more practice. There is a learning curve for sure... but maybe I'll be able to get it right by the time St. Patrick's day rolls around and I can rock some Shamrock nails.

    Oh I thought you meant something like free-hand marbling without the water. Sorry, I got confused.

    Yes... I did the tape. The tape was the easiest part. The most difficult thing was getting rid of the excess nail polish-film after you submerge your finger in the water. If you don't get rid of the excess floating on the water, when you take your finger out... the film will double over and look like a hot mess... and take forever to dry... and look kinda lumpy. I'm not very patient, nor am I particularly thorough.... so of course I thought I could get away with skipping that step or fudging it a little. NOPE.

    Other difficulties:
    -Finding the right nail polish... not all of them spread across the surface of the water.... I have about 60+ nail polishes... none of which happen to be the brands recommended (OPI and China Glaze). Hah! I have several sally hansen colors but they were hit and miss.
    -Time... I have to learn how to work quickly because the film dries fast and the swirls look raggedy if I don't speed things up.

    To be continued!

    This is old.

    I use to get this in the beginning of middle school like 10+ years ago.

    If anyone in here is from NYC ( the hood lol ) they should remember.

    All I remember is they used to dip my nail in a cup lol
