Hi all, boy have I impressed myself with this nail design!
I saw Jacqui’s Watercolour Nail Art Tutorial over on her blog Crafty Nail and decided to give it a go.
I followed Jacqui’s tutorial and chose 6 Nails Inc. colours for my watercolours.
I also wanted to do a little design with my Barry M nail art pen over the top of my watercolour.
As Jacqui says, this method is easy peasy lemon squeezy! You literally paint a white base coat, wait for it to dry, then put your coloured blobs on your nail in any position. The next step is to lay your plastic bag over your nail and press lightly to spread the colours out.
This was a few of my plastic bags after I had laid them on top of my polish blobs.
When you remove the bag, the effect reminds me of water marbling but it is a quicker and easier method!
Once I had my watercolour toes, I wanted to add a little something and it had pained me to remove my animal print pedi, so I decided to do a similar design as last time but over the top of my multi watercolour nails. So I did a mixture of leopard and tiger stripes over the top. This is how they turned out:
I am so impressed with the overall result! I absolutely love this design! It’s so bright, summery and unique; every nail is different. This is a new favourite technique of mine – thanks Jacqui!
You’re welcome!! I love this post and your toes look amazingg!
Thank you, thank you! I keep looking down at them lol!
Omg I love this so much! It’s so fun and colorful… I’ll have to try the watercolor technique too. And the leopard print on top makes it that much more fun!
Thank you! It’s such a simple yet effective technique – you should definitely try!
You did awesome! What a great pedi :)
Thanks Lisa :)
This is really cool and I love the markings too!
Thanks, I love animal print at the moment!
AMAZING – I think yours are the only toes I don’t mind seeing popping up on my feed :D Great job… does Nails Inc flow through your veins?
Thanks! That’s good to know :D Yes Nails Inc is within my blood!
This is so perfect for summer!
Yes you’re right-so bright!
This seems so much easier than regular water marble! I’m going to have to try it.
It’s fabulous – so simple! Let me know when you try it :)
