Watermarble Wednesday No Base

This week’s Watermarble Wednesday challenge was to use no base with a random design. I cheated ever so slightly on the base, but it’s definitely random! So here’s Watermarble Wednesday No Base…

I started with a glittery base, but there’s still plenty of nail showing through. Since I hate having visible nail line, this is a really big deal for me.

As for a random design…it certainly is!

Polishes and tools

Your favourite base and top coat
ILNP My Private Rainbow X
OPI Purple Perspective and Pen and Pink

I added two coats of My Private Rainbow X before a layer of top coat. While that was setting I applied Zap up to my first knuckles.

For the watermarble, I used a drop of each of the two colours, followed by one drop of clear.

The custom-branded clear polish spreads extremely well, but dries very quickly too. You can’t hang around or making a design is impossible.

I created a basic eight-pointed star design, outwards first, then into the centre. I dipped all my fingers on each hand together, since I didn’t want the same design across them all.

I dipped my thumbs separately, mostly because I don’t have a big enough cup!!

I can’t quite get used to seeing my nail line, so don’t feel entirely comfortable with this design. I prefer my left hand which has a bit more tip cover.

But I have had lovely feedback and compliments from people seeing this one. It’s certainly unusual!

Are you a fan or is this a waterfail Wednesday for you? Let me know in the comments.
