About this design:
I tend to avoid conventional water marbles for good reason - I find them so hard to do! So while this look is very simple, it was very challenging for me. The two water marble nails I did multiple times - my middle finger I did twice, and my ring finger four times! Cirque's Holo-day Cheer was the perfect accent. This polish is actually limited edition and you can read more about it in my review post.

Final thoughts:
These Cirque glitters are difficult to incorporate into nail art. I learned the hard way that they don't work well for glitter gradients, so you're pretty much confined to accent nails. In this case, I like the combination of glitter and water marble. And the challenge of trying to do a conventional water marble makes me want to do more.

ReplyDeleteI would not have guessed you had issues watermarbling, it looks great! I personally have issues watermarbling. I rarely do more than one finger as well. I can get the polish to spread, I just mess up the designs. It never looks how I want it to.
ReplyDeleteThe gold base stands out perfectly against the marble! I have only attempted the technique once.. and it sucked, lol!
