Coffee and Chocolate inspired Watermarble...

The other day blogger was down and it threw me for a loop...I did this water marble mani the other day and it reminds me of chocolate or coffee...yum!
I loove the shimmer that was also in these colors...the effect was nicer then I expected...

This is what my set up looked like...I used tape to make things easier, toothpicks (you can also use your orange stick), a tissue, a cup of water, color club polishes, and my white sally hansen polish..

The four colors I used were from the Untamed Luxury collection from Color Club (from L to R) Nothing but Truffle, Pretty in Platinum, Positively Posh, and Soft as Cashmere...

I started with 1 coat of White On by Sally Hansen...

So in the cup of water I dropped in dots of my polish and waited for it to spread out before I dropped in the next color...


Then using the toothpick I drew in the design I liked then slowly dipped in my finger and used the toothpick to wipe away the excess polish before I slowly took out my finger...
This is what my initial design looked like...I didnt tape off my ring finger to show more of the design and to show that once again taping off your finger makes clean up waay easier and faster...

I wasn't satisfied with how my pinky turned out because there were air bubbles in the middle.. (can you see??) so I decided to redo it...

see? I changed the pinky ;) I like how you can see more of the 4 colors in this version of my pinky...
