Water Marble - Kleancolor Metallics

This is another old picture set.

I decided to try water marbling... again... My first few attempts yielded less than perfect results. This one wasn't perfect either, but I did love it anyway!

I decided to do a rainbow and I chose Kleancolor Metallics Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Sapphire, and Purple.

First, I put on Sally Hansen Celeb City as a base coat.

I figured since water marbling tends to make polishes more sheer, and just in case there were any gaps, the silver foil would look nice.

i don't have any pictures of the cup of water or the swirling process, but i don't think they're really important. For reference, I used a small, ceramic bowl, bottled water, and a knitting needle to swirl.

i didn't tape off my skin because the tape didn't stick... so I had a major cleanup to do.

Here are some pics of the initial mess:
