Nail Ideas: Vintage / Retro Water Marble

Happy Sunday everyone!!

I finally had some time last weekend to do some nail art! After much thought, I decided to practice my water-marbling again:


I was feeling slightly retro-ish for some reason so I went with these colors: OPI Barre My Soul, OPI Sparrow Me The Drama and Zoya Bevin. I love the color combination but I think I still need to work on my water-marbling. For some reason, the center is not particularly neat - I tried to pull the design closer to the center but I end up with bald spots if I poke at it too much. Perhaps I should have added more drops of polish before dragging the design; that might give me more polish to prod about. :/ What do you think?

xoxo,
mich

    Looks like an awesome success to me! I tried water marbling once, fail miserably and never tried again. Kudos to you for trying again (:
