Tri Polish Tuesday - April - Watermarble mess

Hi all!

For today I have another watermarble... a mess... well part of it. I did two nails with a different technique than your standard 'dip your fingers in the water'. Those two are a mess. The normal ones are actually not half bad.

This week's pink, yellow and blue (and some black):

• W7 - 28 Black
• Essence - LE Tribal Summer - 01 WAKA-WAKA
• Catrice - LE Glamazona - C04 Lime Heart Is Beating Like A Jungle Drum
• Catrice - 400 Blue Cara Ciao

I am wearing WAKA-WAKA as a base (2 coats). For my index and middle finger I tried using a stamper to transfer the polish. I got a lot of waterbubbles caught under it. I later learned that if you dip the stamper at an angle this doesn't happen. I also let the stamper dry and then tried transferring it over a sticky topcoat. The result was incomplete transferral and not a pretty sight. My ring finger and pinky were dipped in like you normally would. And I am pretty happy my ring finger turned out like it should! Perhaps I will get the hang of it one day!

This little experiment taught me that dipping your fingers in is so far still a good technique for me. All that pre-work of taping your fingers etc is just a lot of work.
