It’s no secret that I’ve never been able to master water marbling. It’s been a big fail (and source of amusement for others) for a long time.  Over the last month or so I’ve been acquiring a few items for another attempt. Disposable cups, Pure Color watermarble tool, OPI Color Paints… So today was the day!


I only tried three times and I was so convinced it wasn’t going to work I didn’t even protect the skin around my nails on my left hand. That was some mess to clean up!  It’s a bit marred by air bubbles and gaps, and there’s no consistency between nails but I am gobsmacked that it worked at all.

OPI Turquoise Aesthetic and Magenta Muse

I’m not sure whether to keep practicing or just admire them from afar (so I can’t see the air bubbles)!
