Nail Varnish (No, Not for me) (No, Really)
Jump to: Newest in thread
Okay, so a few weeks ago someone posted on a thread about a YouTube video showing a technique for doing posh fingernails. You dripped different colours in a bowl of water, made a pattern using (a cocktail stick?), then somehow got the whole thing onto your finger by dipping it into the water.
Buggared if I can find it now, and our daughter is experimenting. Anyone remember it, or know what the technique is called please?
Many thanks

If she's experimenting with colours and textures, you should see if you can get hold of the Ciaté advent calendars in sales. There may still be some available.
You get loads of mini colours and glitters and beads. |

i dont think textured things may have the desired effect as it needs to cling evenly with even weight throughout ? |

"I remember doing some marbling at school 
A bit like tie-dying 
Don't know how you'd do your nails without doing your fingers as well !"
the nail is likely prepared prior as is the skin . But also skin is rough and has crevises so it wont cling |

You're mistaken. There's several types of textured polishes on the market, like caviar, feathered, leather, glitter. |

They're good quality polishes, only problem is that if you stick to certain types of colours (like I do) you won't use half. I buy my teenage cousin it every year as she likes to play with them. |

No. The OP wanted one technique named, I suggested a pack of several polishes to keep his daughter happy. There are more looks she can try than just marbling. She can use the polishes in the pack for the marbling anyway, if she's as hellbent on it as you are. |

My Mum used to work for Silver Cross prams and everytime I smell nail laquer it takes me back to waiting for her to finish work after primary school.
Strange how smells, tastes and music can trigger memories.  |
