Marbling Nails

Hello Gurus!
Tried to do water marbling last night and it worked...I just don't like the color combination. It didn't seem quite right to me. Anyway marbling is easy to do its just time consuming.
The first step is to use room temperature water. Some folks will tell you to prep your nails by taping the skin or using petroleum jelly to help with the clean up but I just use nail polish remover the others get in the way for me.
Use a base coat often times white will work the best. In this I used my orange as a base. The choose two or three colors any more and it will be to busy a pattern. Put one drop in the water of your first color and let it spread. Follow with the second and third inside of each other so you get a bullseye effect. Then with a pointed object like a tooth pick or hairpin pull the center color out to create a pattern.
Dip your finger in with the nail facing the part of the pattern you like. The take your pointed object and swirl it on the top of the water to remove the excess. Repeat!
Mine are a little messy because i didn't finish cleaning them up.
Have a magical day!
