Eleanor Water Marble

Yet, another water marble!

You know, water marbling can get quite addictive once you get the gist of it. Seriously.

Fellow blogger friend, Kadazanbonita told me she got the same perfect marble when using cheaper nail polish called Eleanor from Sasa. Off I went to buy some cos they are more than half the price of a Sally Hansen.


RM6.90 each. Cheap no?

The whole process is addictive. Starting from the moment I drop the polishes on the water, making a pattern on the whirl effect, dipping the finger in the water and finally, getting a perfect water marble nail art. I just love looking at the colors forming like batik. Ha!




The only demanding issue for me when it comes to marbling is the fact that I can't quite get the perfect clean-up post marbling. It is usually messy around the cuticle as the polishes tend to flood along the cuticle. Even after using the brush method, my nail cuticles still looking flooded with polishes. Ah well, looks like I just have to practice more.

A friend asked if I could do this one her nails. Unfortunately, I am not confident enough to do on other people's nails cos this nail art requires LOADS of patience and time consuming. It's like trial and error. If it doesn't work, you have to try again till you get the perfect result. Well, I didn't have much problem with my nails so far but I'm not sure how it goes when trying to do on other people's nails.

Eureka!

OK, I just have to share this with you all.

Water Marbling.

Have heard of that? I bet you have.

When I first tried water marbling nail art, it took me a freakin' FOUR hours to complete all ten finger nails and it wasn't a smooth sailing process. Albeit getting it done at the end of the day, I haven't really got the process done perfectly.

I tried again several times after that but failed.

I tried again yesterday and this is what I got.


I had to do at least two attempts on each finger to get the above photo. That means, no consistency. And the nail polish I was using not helping either. I used Revlon's nail polishes by the way.

Read somewhere that the final result might be due effect from the selection of nail polish as well. So I remembered my newly bought Sally Hansen colors. Tried two colors; Sunkissed and Green with Envy.


Bingo!

I had no problem dropping the polishes into the water. In fact, I even managed to drop more than ten times and still the whirl effect looks fine.


Perfect marbling effect.


What do you think?

Need to work out on the rough edges along the cticle as well as getting rid of air bubbles.



Took me less than an hour to complete all ten nails and this polishes really hassle and stress-free. The color combo is not my favourite so it definitely means, all the reason to go nail polish shopping again! Excited!
