Watermarbling is a fickle mistress -- one day it works great and one day you spend five hours trying different color combinations to find something that will work. Guess which one I experienced for the watermarble day of the challenge?
I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the pleasant one!
For some reason I just could not get anything to work with me this time. I tried a ton of brands, different water temperatures, types of water, vessels for the water, marbling tools... the universe was just NOT having it. It's even more frustrating because I've been able to successfully marble a number of times before.
Finally, I was able to achieve success using Zoya Malia and Zoya Kristen. I was much too fed up to do more than two nails. Oops, I mean, it was totally intentional to use the watermarble as an accent! Yeah...
I also added some 2mm square pastel studs from Born Pretty to spice things up. I rushed the application a bit so unfortunately a few bubbles developed, but you can't see them in person, I swear! These studs come in the cutest colors and I love the square shape. Be sure to use the code "CKG10" for 10% off if you're purchasing!
This is also the first time I've embellished my marbled nails! I added some dots with Malia in some of the larger spaces, and I really like the way it turned out.
