Since you know that my time is super limited lately, I was trying to figure out how to so a water marble mani is a short amount of time. At first, I thought about just doing an accent nail, but then I remembered that Bundle Monster has a plate with a water marble stamp and I had that plate (BM 320).
I started with a base coat of NYC MoMa. MoMa is named after the Museum of Modern Art. I only needed 2 coats for this mani. MoMa is part of the In a Minute line and dries nice and fast (I wouldn't say in a minute), plus I really like the brush. They are pretty cheap too so I really should pick up more of these.
As you can see, my stamping didn't work out so well. On the pinkie, I tried Konad Psyche Pink. The colors look cute together, but Psyche Pink isn't as opaque as I hoped it would be. I was having stamping issues so I thought I would try Konad Black with the plate. It sorta worked on my middle finger, but not really. When I was scraping off the excess polish from the plate, I noticed that there wasn't much left on the image. I tried the process several times so I'm going to have to guess that my plate isn't etched very well :(
Check out some other water marble manis below and see if they had better luck than me!
That's so great that there's a stamp that looks like watermarbling! Bummer about the plate, though... I love the colors you used for this, the dark green looks awesome against the bright pink.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually black, but I guessing it is reading a bit like dark green here.
DeleteI really like the watermelon colors. And your stamping is still better than mine!
ReplyDeleteTurned out cute! I have this stamp, why didn't I do this! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen you look at the stamp on the plate, it's hard to recognize it as water marble.
