HOW TO: Spring Pastel Water Marbled Nails

I have been a very busy bee recently and tweeted a picture of my pastel water marbled nails. I had no idea how or if this was going to work but I found a great tutorial on YouTube using darker colours. I decided to make it a bit more 'spring' and tried it out for myself with my Barry M pastels. I think they look pretty cool! I'm so happy with how they turned out, I'm not gonna lie, it took ages, and I did have to re-do a few blobby nails. I think they are pretty original and eye-catching, so if you're interested, let me tell you how!

You will need:
♥ A small bowl of water
♥Toothpick
♥Cotton pads and buds
♥Nail polish remover
♥your favourite pastel nail polishes

Let's get started:
♥Paint you nails with a base colour, I chose two coats of white, I'd recommend this if you're using pale colours
♥Get your bowl of water and add a drop of you pastel nail polish in to the middle
♥Add another colour, and so on until you are happy. I'd recommend 2 or 3 to get started! (Do this quickly or it will dry out)
♥Using the toothpick, gently pull the edges of the polish in to any pattern that you'd like
♥Place your nail down on top of the edge of the colours then push your finger down in to the water for 10 seconds (you have to do this one by one, waaah!)
♥One your nail is immersed pull the excess nail polish on the surface away from your finger with a toothpick
♥Lift your nail out slowly and use nail polish remover to clean around the nail, use cotton buds for the cuticles!
♥All that's left to do is to add a top coat, and you're good to go!

Experimenting with the different patterns!
