How to Watermarble!

Hey Guys! So from now on I think I'm going to try and post a tutorial every Tuesday. I'll call it... Tutorial Tuesday!! haha but anyways I'm going to show you how to watermarble. It's super easy and if you don't get it on the first try don't worry! This is one of those designs the you HAVE to practice on to get really good.
I used:
 -Plastic cup filled with filtered water from the fridge
 -Scotch Tape
 -Toothpicks
 -L.A Colors White for a base coat
 -Wet n Wild - Eggplant Frost
 -Sinful Colors - Innocent
 -China Glaze - Splish Splash
First, prep your nails by taping around your cuticle and sides of your nails for easier clean up. Also, do a white base coat to make the colors pop out more. I just did one coat since the white doesn't ever show. If you're using silver in your design it might make it easier for the base coat to be silver.
Have all of your nail polish open and ready. Try to pick nail polish that drips easily off the brush. Now in any order drip the polish colors one by one into the cup. They should spread out and start to look like a target. You can put as many drops of polish in as you want. I did two of every color except the blue. Then use a tooth pick and gently move the polish around to make a design. When you find the design you like dip your nail right onto it.
Keeping the nail in the water use the tooth pick and get all the extra polish around the sides of the cup. Gently pull your finger out of the water. If you have any water drops on your nail take a corner of a paper towel and touch it to the water and it should soak it all up:). When it's dry take the tape off and clean up your nail with a Q-tip dipped in polish remover.
And here's what it looks like at the end!! I only did two and the rest of the nails with the same color, but you can do all of the nails too!

Tips:
-Try not to be straight under a fan (it dries the nail polish in the cup too fast)
-If the polish won't spread out do like 2 drops of polish in the cup, take a tooth pick and spread it all the way to the edges. Gently blow to dry it and remove all of the polish.If you have any questions comment below!!
