Yucky yuck yuck ew! I decided to try out the nail marbling trend at home which resulted in very mild success. At least I was a source of entertainment for my hubby who watched as I unceremoniously stuck my fingers into strange, swirly liquids, hoping for the best. I think I did a decent job not turning my hands into a globbly nail polish mess thanks to the tips from others who have tried this (put tape your fingers or use vaseline, etc.), but it seems almost inevitable that you WILL make some kind of a mess during this process...

Thankfully the polish is only a very thin layer, so it's not that hard to clean off. The designs came out pretty cool on my nails but I had some problems with bubbles and wrinkling on the edges where my nails meet my skin. Overall it was fun but slightly tedious and I feel like I was using a lot of nail polish for just one nail at a time. I think I might be happier if I practice this and experiment with proper color combinations because the white base looked really bad with the colors I chose. (I picked a white base because most of the tutorials suggested that.) I will totally attempt this again at some point.
