i love this! the original gradient was a cool color combo, but the black marble over top makes it way more awesome and tones down the "loudness" of the neon, which makes it more inviting to me. i might have a reason to go out and get a neon yellow polish now!
My hubby calls it recycling manicures, his favorite. The gradients was amazing in itself, but the watermarble made it Oh-La-La. I've been dying to get my hands on the clear water. Thanks for sharing!
One of the people I subscribed to calls this kind of manicure a Recycled Manicure. She does one once a week I believe. I think this one came out terrific!
Bubby Dumas I like that name too! When I have one mani go through several versions I call it an evolution, I remember some blog posts had 3 or even 4 evolutions of a design =)
Its so beautiful its like rainbow zebra print nails. This design is so cute. Next time I would love if you could do another water marble tutorial with neon colors so its bright and something like a rainbow.
After a lot of testing, I have found that NYC - Matte Me Crazy works really well for negative space water marbles. I have never tried Clear Water so I cant compare them but Matte Me Crazy spreads really well and doesn't dry quickly.
Kathryn I'll have to try that - I think I actually have it already. I also heard OPI Nail Envy works well, which has that same kind of cloudy look to it ... but I bought a bottle of that and then promptly lost it, so never tested it LOL
I love that. Can you tell me if you can water marble over gel? Once I file off the glossy top coat before I soak off the gel, it's very matte. I'm wondering if I could water marble over it. I've seen a lot of people use regular polish during this step to create designs, just never have seen a water marble gel tutorial... if you know of one, please send me the link..xoxo Lily
Very cute. Reminds me a lot of ProfessionalDQ. I don't know what's happened to her lately, but I miss her videos. The first water marble I ever did, I took tips from both you and her, and I used China Glaze's Rainbow with blue and red on top of white. It did great for the water marbling and added that subtle iridescent sheen to it. Maybe it would work on top of something like this?
Cynthia Giacalone rainbow is great to marble with - I think that's what I used for both my previous marbles over gradients and it does have a beautiful sheen
kc8ueu I haven't tried it recently, but I think it dried to fast (which makes sense since that's why I love it). Oddly enough matte polishes seem to work well, I'll be using matte magic in the vid I'm uploadin tomorrow
quick question... I have water marbled my nails for over 4 yrs now, but the one issue I have is finding a clear coat that I can use with black (or any color) so the colored base comes thru the clear as in your video. Any clear I try dries very quickly or becomes sticky/stringy,(great for cleaning floating film off top), but unworkable. Any tips or brands? Thanks in advance!
I've used about half a dozen clears to marble - they do often get dry and/or stringy, if that happens I just try to work with it. There are some clears that are designed specifically for water marbling, like Clearwater, but I unfortunately don't have any of those yet.
this video is also wonderful like all the other videos and I have also subscribed your channel but I have an question that is, whenever you do water marble, when you pull out your fingers out of the water and when everything is over, do you apply any top coat at the End?
Polishhisnails I do, but I've seen a lot of indies that I'm interested in - almost too many LOL. Plus they can tend to be a little more expensive as there are not many coupons or discount sellers
Hi Colette I love all your water marble and manicures but I can not do it for the life of me I have room temperature water I’ve tried different polishes not only that my regular manicures don’t stay on they peel of the next day what should or can I do different or should I just give up please help
i also recommend the water be filtered - and everyone's "room temp" may be different, mine is usually in the mid-70's. If your manis aren't wearing very long I'd suggest maybe switching base coats and also make sure your nails are super clean before you start
+jinksjeanine I've found it works better than tap (you can see my water comparison vid in my tips and tricks playlist), I get mine from a brita pitcher
naimadubois Well, they used to not last as long - each version maybe a day. But lately I often wear my manicure a full week, whether I keep it the same or add to it, and I rarely have a problem with chips, I think a good base coat & a good top coat are key
SparkleFly LPS I have used Orly Bonder in the past and liked it, also Finger Paints has a sticky base coat that my mom is using and seems very similar to my discontinued favorite
I love this video, but I hate pipe dream polish, they blocked me on Instagram for no reason. And I was gonna buy stuff from them too. But it's a big nevermind.
I like that a lot! Great way to change the look without starting all over.
i love this! the original gradient was a cool color combo, but the black marble over top makes it way more awesome and tones down the "loudness" of the neon, which makes it more inviting to me. i might have a reason to go out and get a neon yellow polish now!
I didn't even recognize that was water marble at first! I thought it was just zebra print! SOOOO PERFECT! GORGEOUS!
It looks completely refreshed and the black marble punches it up!
This mani has turned into the gift that keeps on giving lol I like it even more this time around!
How neat! I really liked the neon gradient. What an inventive way to change it up while keeping the original.
definitely will be doing this for back to school✨
My hubby calls it recycling manicures, his favorite. The gradients was amazing in itself, but the watermarble made it Oh-La-La. I've been dying to get my hands on the clear water. Thanks for sharing!
You truly are the Queen of water marbelling. Another amazing mani!
Nice way to extend the life of your mani and make it new again. Very pretty! Many Hugs and Blessings! Pat
I love it! I loved it from gradient and adding glitter just made it even more awesome, but the marble on top is just pure perfection!
Love it! What a great way to update your polish and keep your nails fun!

That is so pretty. I love both designs

Love the colours, your amazing at water marble, tfs xoxo
Looks really pretty.
freaking gorgeous!
Matte top coats work amazingly for negative space water marbling! Try the NYC brand from Target. You'll LOVE it. 😍
One of my favorite looks
Beautiful! That's one way to extend your original manicure!!!
love your nail art
very summery love them
Those are awesome. I love this mani great job!!!
I love this nail tutorial!
Gorgeous all the way around! I love to switch up my mani's too. Glossy then matte and then add a design! Not necessarily in that order. Lol!
Looks like zebra stripes, very creative!
You're actually a watermarble magician. Nobody else on this planet can say they find Walter marbling that easy or can do it that well!!!
I find it's pretty much all about the type of polish you use other than that it's quite simple.
OK cool love all your nail styles cute and better every day😎
So pretty!!
Cute as always
Wow, really cool! Good job, I love your videos
Love this soo much! very pretty x
Thank you for your reply Colette
Very beautiful!!!!💙
Love Love LOVE!! Super fun :)

From all the versions i like this one best :)
Gorgeous
I love this!! However, it reminds me more of zebra print rather than chevron but still pretty none the less!
Super cute way to change up a nail design when you get bored with the original!
Beautiful
Que bonito quedó! :)
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!
Very cute!
cute nails
I want these nails!
awesome - as always!
love love love this
Love this!
I love this! It looks like neon zebra :)
that is so awesome .
Very nice
This is awesome looking, one day I will be good at water marbling as you are.. lol =)
Love this tutorial! (:
Cool, it's like a neon zebra on your nails.
Love love love!!!
Pretty
Love it!

Lily Seymour I've never used gel, but i've heard of people doing reglar manicures over gel so I'd think a marble would work also
Very cute. Reminds me a lot of ProfessionalDQ. I don't know what's happened to her lately, but I miss her videos.

Love it! But I have nands-from-ass to repeat ((( trying to make any marble design so many times, and have never get success...
Absolutely cool! The Fairy Dust sets off the colors and the black perfectly. Silly question: will the Seche Vite topcoat work for water marble?
kc8ueu I haven't tried it recently, but I think it dried to fast (which makes sense since that's why I love it). Oddly enough matte polishes seem to work well, I'll be using matte magic in the vid I'm uploadin tomorrow
My Simple Little Pleasures I should have said, matte topcoats ... regular matte polish I've had mixed results with
this is so cool, so do you have to use a anis , cause i use to use sally hansen
+Maria Love the only way to know for a color is to try it and see
Beautiful just beautiful :-)
The sparkles kind of make it look like a sunset with night sky, but without the usual red and orange in between.
love it.
Did you put a base color like white before you sponged on the neon gradient to make the colors brighter?
+Kendal Kraft yes - there is a separate vid for the gradient if you want more details on that
cute you should do a 4 of July one
+Aubrey Lawson I have a whole 4th of July playlist including several water marbles
quick question...

+Diya Dutta yes, I always use top coat - well, except for a few intentionally matte marbles I have done
+My Simple Little Pleasures thanks for the reply
Never thought I'd hear an indie brand come up in one of your videos. From what I remember you seem to stick to mainstream brands
Polishhisnails I do, but I've seen a lot of indies that I'm interested in - almost too many LOL. Plus they can tend to be a little more expensive as there are not many coupons or discount sellers
What are the best nail polishes to use for marbling?
There's no particular best brand, it all comes down to trail & error
thanks soooo much

for the marble... does the water have to be filtered and if so what filter water do u use?
+jinksjeanine I've found it works better than tap (you can see my water comparison vid in my tips and tricks playlist), I get mine from a brita pitcher
How do you get your polish to last long enough to be able to work these evolutions?
naimadubois Well, they used to not last as long - each version maybe a day. But lately I often wear my manicure a full week, whether I keep it the same or add to it, and I rarely have a problem with chips, I think a good base coat & a good top coat are key
Pipe Dream Polish is going to restock Clear Water tomorrow (29 June)!
good to know!
Brazil!!
What base coat do you use? My base coat is terrible!
SparkleFly LPS the one I use is unfortunately discontunued
My Simple Little Pleasures Oh... :-( Do you have any recommendations? PS Thanks for replying!
SparkleFly LPS I have used Orly Bonder in the past and liked it, also Finger Paints has a sticky base coat that my mom is using and seems very similar to my discontinued favorite
Thanks for the advice! I will try those
what are the name's of the nail polish you use
+Aubrey Lawson they're all listed in the information box
My Simple Little Pleasures OK cool will you please answer my comments thankyou
HOW DO YOU DO DAT WITHOUT TAKING THE WHOLE NAILPOLISH OUT?!
+Mine Kat you have to draw the design while the polish is still wet. once it dries is when it will start to pull when you try to draw
OK how do u get he paint on it finger off
+Chasalee Easley that's what the latex is for. If you don't protect your finger then you'd need to use polish remover
I love this video, but I hate pipe dream polish, they blocked me on Instagram for no reason. And I was gonna buy stuff from them too. But it's a big nevermind.
💅🏻💕
I have tried doing this........ It always fails
Marlene Hernandez it takes a lot of practice as well as trial and error to find the colors that work best.
tradução em português
Can humidity affect a water marble? My marbles are looking like trash right now and it is quite humid where I live.
MsKala I'm not sure but I'd say probably just because everything seems to affect how marbling works LOL
😍😍😎😎😎
Nice video but I think It would be better if you were to have music in the backround
+Alahna O'Brien I only include music if I have long clips where I'm not talking
+My Simple Little Pleasures Oh right.Well I like your videos btw :)
