Water Marbleing

I have heard my friends raving about this new cool amazing design for all shapes and sizes of nails, so I just had to try it. You probably have heard of water marbling. Its when you pick your favorite colors of polish and drip them in room temperature water and then stick your finger in the color and tada it comes off on your nails! Its absolute amazing! The first things you'll need are four to five of your most favorite nail polish colors, a glass/bowl that you wont mind having polish in, room temperature water in the bowl, tape, and a lot of tooth picks!
Steps:
1.  Get all your materials put together in one area so you have every thing you will need right by you.
2. Paint a base coat of a light nail polish (white).
3. Cut little tape pieces and start putting them all around your nail on your skin.
4. Take off the tops of the colors of polish that you are planning to use and line them up. (Its easier and faster when dropping the color in the water)
5. Color after color in whatever order you'd like drop one drop of the color in the water.
6. Then take your tooth pick and create any design you'd like.
7. Pick a place in the polish you'd like to have on your nail and slowly submerge your nail into the liquid.
8. With your other hand take another toothpick and collect the remaining polish around your finger.
9. Pull your finger out of the water slowly.
10. When the polish dries get the clear polish and paint over your design to make it last longer.
11. Take a q-tip with a little nail polish remover on it and go around the edges and clean them up.
12. Repeat to your other nails.
