Maybe that would have helped the overall appearance, but then there's the hot mess that is my thumbnail... -_-<br />I'm sorry your Cult experience hasn't been so great :( Maria was just fabulous about my first experience so I'm definitely flying high off that still. I thought the discounts were afforded to everyone? Then there's the new Compound Interest thing, which seems beneficial, but I'm still trying to figure it out.Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-40122000136731947432014-05-05T10:09:20.275-07:002014-05-05T10:09:20.275-07:00I'll definitely have to read your tutorial. I...I'll definitely have to read your tutorial. I swirled the colors around with a toothpick, maybe I shouldn't have done that? I dunno, I foresee much trial and error but I look forward to the day when I can lead off a post with a water marble, lol. Thanks so much, girlie ♥ I think these three New Day polishes would make a gorgeous marble (and I'm sure it's already been done, lol).Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-82642999686291575262014-05-05T10:04:43.527-07:002014-05-05T10:04:43.527-07:00So it is available now.

This being my first experience with Cult Nails, I'm trying to get a handle on how they operate (which seems to be a little different from the norm). I made an edit to my post up there. You've got my brain going about possible Shimmer accents, myself! <br />Oh gosh, the water marble, lolol. I know I have a shot glass gift from back in the day wrapped up somewhere. I think I'll finally actually use it next time I make an attempt since it sounds like a tiny surface area is the way to go. I don't doubt yours was presentable-- you're one of those who just has a knack for that type of thing ♥Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405705989668452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-8923544041862675582014-05-02T22:06:22.206-07:002014-05-02T22:06:22.206-07:00I also LOL'd at "like, all the way throug...I also LOL'd at "like, all the way through." :P teehehehe!! YES, I do suppose that would be a good idea! But I heartily congratulate you on trying a water marble (I did it once like, 2 years ago?!) and I did manage some nice swirls (nice enough to wear to work) but nothing spectacular and OHH the MESS. >_< I think next time I'm gonna try someone's suggestion to buy tight-fitting latex gloves and just cut a hole as close to the nail as I can get! Also, I admire your willingness to try it again despite the "fail!" ;) Way to persevere, chica!! :D And SERIOUSLY, did you HAVE to show me the holy grail of peachy pinks (or pinky peaches?) and then tell me there's a 90% chance I won't be able to get it?! :( *momentary sad face Oh well! I am happy that you are able to enjoy the awesomeness for us all!!! ♥ ♥ It is soooo beautiful on your baby points! For reals, yo. :) Hm and knowing me though, I'd be putting a Shimmer on it (Aireanne - sp?) as an accent, or maybe like a holo TC... Northern Lights like Dani just got?! :D It's blingy, yet subtle & very classy - like YOU!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871454381043731090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-5517560564008428562014-05-01T11:43:28.850-07:002014-05-01T11:43:28.850-07:00You water marble is a thing of beauty, and we must...You water marble is a thing of beauty, and we mustn't laugh at it :P But seriously if that is your first try with no tutorial, then I bow to you! You did so well, watermarbles are so hard. I'm excited to see your next attempt! <br /><br />While I do like the colours Cult Nails has, they have lost their charm for me. The way she does business just doesn't sit well. Things like only new customers get discounts (what about all her loyal customers?) and I've purchased quite a few of her shades, among other things have turned me off.

I have faith in your water marbles!!! Definitely filtered water. I bought 2 giant jugs of spring water that I keep in my pantry. I've tried tape and vaseline and I like the vaseline better, when I remember to apply it, hhaahaha! Always start from the second bullseye in because the outer always dries first! Those are just some tips that I've found works for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-83648176573494271022014-05-01T10:47:59.912-07:002014-05-01T10:47:59.912-07:00I used Aquaphor ointment only because I don't ...I used Aquaphor ointment only because I don't have any petroleum jelly around at present. Do you think tape would work better? Interesting about filtered water, too-- I'll definitely buy a designated jug.

I think you were headed in the right direction, but taping off around you nails is definitely a good way to help with how overwhelming water marbles are. Also I buy jugs of filtered water to use and get much better results. I can't wait to see the next try!!! Also I now kind of want to do a water marble....Mommy Doeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054918906703413358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951956383109405008.post-3233563442321717392014-04-30T22:40:52.652-07:002014-04-30T22:40:52.652-07:00Love this color on you!
