Things You’re Doing Wrong When Water Marbling Your Nails!

Of course, many things look easy to replicate when you are watching pro-made tutorials. But the reality is such that there still a lot of mistakes to face and we decided to point out the most common ones here so that you do not have to ever fail with your marble nail art!

Things You Are Doing Wrong When Water Marbling Your Nails

  • The container. You should be aware of the fact that a bowl that is too big will make the polish spread and will take a lot longer to come with a design. That is why try using a smaller cup or glass for the best result.
  • Using cold water. Yes, that is the most common mistake that can ruin your design entirely. To succeed with the design you should use only filtered and water-temperature water.
  • Using old nail polish. Old nail polishes are usually thicker and not that likely to spread evenly over the water surface. That is why for the best result you should better use fresh, liquid nail polishes.
  • Slow work. The speed matters, if you are going to do your design at a slow speed, the chances are high that the nail polish will dry out and the design will be ruined.
  • Liquid latex. You should never ever skip this step! The thing is that if you do not use liquid latex, you will end up with your fingers stained all over and sometimes it is close to impossible to clean up the messes and not to ruin the design. You can use scotch tape or glue if there is no liquid latex around.
  • Use nail polish remover. Sometimes even liquid latex can’t save the areas too close to the nail from staining. That is where a flat brush and nail polish remover come in handy. Gently clean all the areas that look stained to avoid the unfinished and messy look.
