Gradient Water Marble Nail Art Tutorial

I'm headed to Chicago for a week! Looking forward to seeing some of the Top Contributors I met at last year's Summit in California again at this Local Meetup.

As I said in the vid, nail art always has room for improvement in my opinion, but this really is nearly exactly what I had in mind - although the overall look, with Rainbow on top, is a bit more purple than the blue I envisioned but since I LOVE purple that's not a bad thing for me!

Nail polish and products used:
-Essie - Bikini So Teeny
-Essie - Butler Please
-Essie Clutch Me if You Can
-China Glaze - Liquid Leather
-China Glaze - Rainbow
-Sponge (I use a makeup sponge, any kind is OK)
-5 oz paper cup
-Room temperature filtered water
-Orange stick (or any sharp tool)
-Scotch tape (optional)

Step-by-Step
-Start out with clean, dry nails and apply a base coat
-Use Bikini So Teeny as your base color
-Sponge a gradient using Bikini So Teeny, Butler Please & Clutch Me if You Can
-In a cup of room temperature, filtered water, build your bullseye using Liquid Leather & Rainbow.
-Draw in the design with the tip of your orange stick
-Dip you nail(s) into the design
-Clean the top of the water
-Slowly pull your nail out
-Remove tape
-Clean up around the edges with a small brush & polish remover
-Finish with a top coat!
