31DC2015 - Day 20; Floral watermarble in baby blue and red

Baby blue, or like bright pastel blue combined with red is a combo I really like! Some how it feels very bold and cool in my mind. Today it's watermarble and I've always wanted to do it in those colors. As the last time I did a dry watermarble, which means that I put polish in water, but waited until the pattern was dry and then picked up the pattern and placed it onto my nails, instead of the dipping straight away. Less mess and easier to get the pattern where you want. I actually tried making it the "normal way" but gave up. Anyhow, I was inspired by Dorisylhow who made flowers but in the end I decided to skip the dots in mine, I also just made accents. All in all I'm super happy with this nail art. :)

Polishes used:
R de L Young - Ruby Red
R de L Young -Waterfall

Dry water marble nail art / DIY watermarble decals

In this post I want to show a bit more pictures of my manicure from the mani swap with Lakobotan and also talk about the technique I used. This mani is also my post for Blue Monday.

Lakobotan did a regular water marble but I decided for the first time to make a dry water marble, some time called water marble decals. Which means that you do as usual and drip polish in water and then create a pattern. But instead of dipping your nails in directly (with some cleaning to do after) you just wait for it to dry. Then pick it up and cut it into a nail shape and place it onto you nail! It was harder than I thought but much less cleanup comparing to the normal water marbles. XD
