    Was in a Guarda station today getting a form signed and the guard was in awe at my marbled nails. She wanted to know all about them, she asked if I was a nail technician:p

    Re: water marbling - does the polish dry quicker or does it take the usual time?
    I was watching a few on YouTube and the polish looked dry when the nails came out but no one said if it was or not! :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 423 ✭✭stargirl.gra


    It's dryish but depends how many drips of polish you put in the water I found. I suppose just be careful and if you have the time and patience do one hand first and wait til that's well dry especially if using the sellotape as it can get very messy :)

    It's more or less dry when you take your nail outta the water. I've found that it leaves such a thin layer of polish on your nails that it lasts longer too! No smudging and longer lasting - I may be doing this once a week!
    Here's my second attempt (From Saturday) Love my index fingernail this time, it's like flames.:)

    Any ideas if Seche Vite top coat can be bought in Ireland? Preferably in Galway - and is it worth it?

    I have seen it in various Boots for e17 :eek: however you can get it on eBay for much cheaper. I got some online and it was delivered this morning so I tried it out.

    You're supposed to apply it when your polish is still a bit wet. It does make your nails dry much faster and leaves them super shiny, but it does not completely prevent chipping. Then again maybe I didn't apply it properly as I did it in a rush.
    If you can get it cheap online I'd recommend it but I wouldn't be paying e17 for it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭Eviledna


    Thanks! I'm so clumsy and impatient to boot, so it's the super fast drying that I'm after it for. Sounds good too, it's funny boots galway don't seem to stock it at all.

    Major downside is that it contains toluene, known as toxic and even as carcinogen!:eek:

    Hmmm...anyone else know of alternative products that dry nails as fast?

    Boots sell some spray that apparently makes nails dry faster. Never tried it though.

    Personally I don't see how painting a layer of Seche Vitre onto nearly dry nails would make them dry faster. Would't it just smudge the polish??

    Ah girls, I'm an awful eejit, tried water marbling for the first time today.... and forgot to tape my fingers off!!!! The stuff was everywhere!!!! Here's a pic after AN HOUR of cleaning varnish off with everything from cotton buds to nail remover pens. Still not 100% cleaned off but hoping that if I keep up the topcoat over the next couple of days, it might wear off the skin round my fingers. Such a daft mistake!!! Was so excited to get started...:o Anyway:

    0000000000000000nails.jpg

    Some of my nails look really dark and glam, others look psychedelic!!! That big blob of green on my thumb was when the yellow ran into the blue :) Still, really happy with it and will remember to tape off the next time!!!!
