Friday Fail - Watermarbling

The last two manis, I've tried to watermarble.
What I've learned:
1) The concept actually works and is quite easy to do yet hard to get to look cool.
2) More than, say, three colors just makes things complicated and not work so well.
3) Move quickly.  Not as quickly as Konading but the polish will dry on top of the water after a minute or so.
4)No matter what, use tape around the nail or else...
5)Different polishes work better than others.  Some are not as opaque and some colors show up differently (a Sally Hansen wine color looked more pink than red).

The first watermarble I attempted was last Saturday.  It turned out okay - not good at all close up but from a distance it looks pretty cool.  Then put some Konad stars on top of the ring fingers.

The second watermarble attempt was earlier Friday morning and...well...miserably failed. The goal was to make it red and white with silver and black accents in honor of the Nebraska Huskers.  Just look at the pics :( Also, Seche, why, oh why, must you bubble and shrink today? WHY?! Needless to say this mani is gone now!

Ew.
