Another huge gap of time without doing my nails or posting.. I wanted to get back into the nail art mode by doing a simple technique: spray marbling. This was my very first attempt and it was so fun, easy, and eye catching!
I started with painting two coats of Sinful Colors' Gold Medal. I set out my usual water marbling equipment: container of lukewarm water, a tooth pick, napkin, acetone, and glue. Plus, I had only one polish - Sinful Colors' Secret Admirer - instead of two or more to use, and hair spray. I started the spray marble process by painting glue onto the skin around my nail bed to my first knuckle. The glue is there so the nail polish doesn't stick to my skin. The polish gets on the glue and I am able to peel it off at the end instead of rubbing polish off my skin with acetone.
So, I painted the glue on and waited for it to dry. Then I used three drops of Secret Admirer and briefly waited for all the polish to spread out. I used three drops so the polish would turn out black instead of grey. If you look below at my pinky, you can see that the polish is lighter than my other fingers because I only used two drops.
Once you have your polish in the water, you take your hairspray and aim toward the polish. The polish ends up opening up; all you have to do is pick the spot you like the best and dip your nail into that portion of polish.
I waited a moment before taking my toothpick and clearing the water of polish around my finger. I repeated the process with all of my nails - drop polish, spray, clear the water. When I dipped my fingers in, the glue moistened once again, so I had to wait for the glue to re-dry before peeling it off. God bless, glue!! I barely had any polish to clean off of my skin besides right around my nail bed and under my nails. Top coat and done!
