I saw that video too! when she started doing the flowers I wondered why she'd want to cover the awesome marbling. My nails stress me out too. You did a great job! was it 2 hrs for both hands?

Yes! And I dropped a brush loaded with black polish on my sweater which added to the stress, haha. Thanks so much!

They look amazing. I give up after 5 minutes.

Thank you! It would go better if I would plan and lay everything out ahead of time. I'm constantly fumbling around mid-tape/wet nails to get something else I need!

I have no clue how you did this but it's brilliant.

Looks great! Water marbling is hard. You did very well.
Thank you! This is the one design where I took the time to experiment with different colors to find out what worked together and used sheets of paper to see the transfer. Usually I just throw some stuff in a cup then hope for the best, lol. The frustrating part was that I got the marble the way I wanted it, then the flowers were goopy and transparent. Another reddittor told me acrylic paint is the way to go with daisies, so... next time!!
