I did it myself!

So, I blogged about my favourite nail tutorials.. and thought it would be best to try them out!
Over the last few days I have tried out the nail marbling tutorial.
To be honest, the first time I tried it I found it very tricky! If you want to try and recreate this look make sure you have plenty of time on your hands. First time I tried this out it took me over an hour! So this is not something you can do if your running late or as a last minute thing.. this takes time!

Here's the marbling process.

I covered the top of my fingers and around the nail  with sellotape. I did this because it was much easier to clean up afterwards, just pull the tape off and all the mess is gone!






You can use a small dish, or plastic cup to drop the nail varnish into, with filtered water (works best! all you need to do is use boiled water which is left to cool completely!) 


As long as you follow the tutorials, you can't go wrong!
I chose to use pink and coral.. however, I don't think these colours were too effective as they are very similar.. So I tried again, but used pink, white and coral and I thought it was much better!


The nail varnishes I used were Pink and Coral from Barry M, and the white was from natural collection. (I got mine from Boots as they were on offer, three for the price of two!)

Second attempt.

I was so pleased with how these turned out. By mixing the white in I think it gave it a much better pattern... it made them stand out! This look will be perfect for festivals. I can't wait to try all the different colours, and your guaranteed a different design every time.

Have you tried out any of the designs? Let me know how you found them!
