What makes it special: The dotted contrast made by the water marble and the hexagons
How long it lasts: About five days. The texture allows small repairs of the nail polish so as soon as the edges start to peel off you can keep them a day or two more by applying transparent or lightly glittered top coat.
To cook this look you need:
- 3 kitties
- Base coat (optional)
- White nail polish (I had white with sand effect light glitter)
- Blue nail polish
- Pink nail polish
- Yellow nail polish
- Black nail polish
- Pink hexagon glitter
- Black hexagon glitter
- Top coat
- Plastic coffee cup (fill it with water)
- Stick (toothpick or even pencil, everything works)
- (Optional) Tape or hand cream
- Nail polish remover and some cotton for it
Steps:
- Apply the base coat
- Apply one or two (or three) layers of white nail polish. My white was pretty crappy so I had to apply three. Wait for it to dry.
- (Optional) Cover your fingers with the tape or carefully cover the skin with the hand cream. This is optional because the water marble makes a total mess which can be cleaned with nail polish afterwards. According to me: it is better if you have less to clean from the skin.
- In the cup filled with water drop pink nail polish, then yellow, then black, then blue.
- Dip some of your fingertips - two, three or all of them! In this case I did the thumb and the pinky in one turn and the rest on the other. You can do one by one but I don't find it very productive.
- With the stick or the object you have chosen to serve as a stick, mop up the surface of the water in the cup.
- Take out of the cup your fingers.
- Repeat 4-7 until you cover all your fingers with colourful nail polish.
- Wait to dry. If you are satisfied with the result, you can skip the next steps. Personally I liked the contrast on some of the fingers but I was highly disappointed with others so I went on.
- Apply the hexagon glitter - act creatively. You can put some black hexagon nail polish on the light colours (yellow, white) and pink on the darker (blue, dark pink) or just anything on anything (which I did)
- Apply top coat. I always apply top coat.
