It’s that time of the month again, Polish Days. This is now my second Polish Days and the theme this month kind of pushed me to attempt a mani that I had been putting off, the water marble mani. eeeeekkk. This is one that I have been considering for ages but I knew that for ‘Something New’ it had to be this one to give me the challenge.
I have heard a few people say that they have had trouble with this one and looking at other bloggers gorgeous water marble mani’s was really daunting, but I went for it anyway. And this is what I got.

So these are just close ups of my two favourite nails from this mani.
I used Barry M Matt white for the base and for the water marbling I used Barry m Matt white, Barry M cyan blue and Barry M Grey.
I did learn a few things whilst doing it, the main one is that the polish spreads much better in warm water (should have realised this) and that I need to moisturise my hands more often.
I’m going to try water marbling again some time and maybe have a little more patience with it and try a more uniformed design.
What did you think of my first attempt? Did you have any more luck with your first water marble mani?
