Happy St. Patricks day!!!

Here is a little water marble tutorial I did! something festive and fun for the holiday!

The colors I used were Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in GOING GREEN, Zoya in GEMMA, Wet N'Wild SILVIVOR and SAGE IN THE CITY, and Ulta ENVY. Other supplies included a small cup of room temp. filtered water, 2-5 polishes of your choice, scotch tape, and an orange stick.

I started by painting a basecoat of SAGE IN THE CITY. Then with the usual cup of room temp. filtered water, I began making my bullseye using the first 4 colors, leaving ENVY for the last, and only drop of that color.

 After I made the bullseye, I used my orange stick to make a pattern in the cup and prepped my fingers using the scotch tape. First, I dipped in with my index, middle and ring finger. I cleared away the exess and created another bullseye, making a pattern, then dipping my pinky and thumb together.

Once I was finished marbling, I used a q-tip and a little paint brush with some acetone to clean up any polish off the skin. I topped it off with a coat of China Glaze's FAST DRY TOPCOAT.

There you have it! My St. Patrick's Day water marble look! Ihope you enjoyed it! Be safe, have fun, and enjoy the wonderful weather (for all you northeastern ohioans)!
