I've tried water marbling a few times and have never been successful. The nail polishes I've tried are Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear, N.Y.C, and a few different Avon Colors. I use Sally Hanson Diamond Strength Base Coat, and Revlon No-Chip Top Coat. Every time I go to design the pattern in the water, the polish sticks to the Tooth Pick, and then I have to start, and I'm wasting SO MUCH nail polish! Any tips? Thanks!

Oooh I've done this. In fact, I am about to do some marble art now for college tomorrow lol. I'm really not usually into nail art and can never normally do stuff like this successfully, but for some reason, marble art has come easy to me. . . I'm braggin, I know, but this is a huge achievement for me =P
Believe it or not but I use really cheap nail varnish and it works. I use George (Asda's brand or Walmart if you're in America) nail polish and it works a treat. I also use Rimmel.
Your problem may not actually be with your nail polish though. It may be that your taking too long to do the swirls. When I do it, the polish usually hardens almost straight away. The trick is to be quick and not let it set. And when you swirl it, don;t start right from the outer colour. Kinda start in the middle out. If that makes sense. Also, I use a straightened hair grip to swirl mine.
Hope this helps and all the best!

Different ways to apply nail polish?

What are some ways that you can get different effects with your nail polish, like water marbling?
Answer
I like newspaper nails!
How to..
Paint your nails white/light grey (Put a base coat if you want to)
Dip your nail in rubbing alcohol for 5 seconds
Firmly press newspaper on your nail for 10 seconds. (Only print words work, I've tried pictures and it didn't work.)
Take off newspaper. The words will be on your nail and put a clear coat on top of it so it stays.
