Moses' Marbleizing

These are done with Robin Moses' marbling without water technique. I had tried marbling without water before and it never turned out. After watching Robin's video I tried using a small paint brush instead of the toothpick that I was previously using. It made all the difference! Now I use an old brush so I don't have to worry if it gets a little gooey.

More Marbles

More marbleizing. The first time I did this, I used shades of green, but this time I decided to use nudes and browns. Also featured in this picture is the beautiful nail polish ring made by Dannibean13. It's a Clarins 230 ring... Which is officially the closest I will ever get to owning Unicorn Pee.

Marbleized

I think some of the most popular and successful nail art designs are  marbled. Water marbling and the technique of marbling without water always turn out the most beautiful nails. I have tried water marbling, and it turns out I'm not so good at it, plus it's just too messy. I have tried marbling on my nails without water (if you're wondering about this, check out Robin Moses's video tutorial here), and I enjoy it, but I don't think it's *that* spectacular. So I decided to attempt a faux marble design of my own. And these are what I came up with!
Since this was a bit of an experiment, it didn't come out perfectly, and after trying it a few more times I think I've perfected my technique. What do you think of the design?
