So usually when I water marble I use a white base...no matter what color's I am using for the marble. But I was inspired by my friend Jeanette over at The Swatchaholic. If you haven't checked out her blog, (which I'm sure you have, she is amazing and I am such a fan girl, high pitched shrieking as if I'm 10 and just met Justin Bieber obsessed with her but not in that I want to stalk you sort of way, more in that I think you are so talented and we should be BFF's sort of way) phew, then you definitely should! She did a water marble (one of her first and it was devine, so unfair but I'm happy for her cause like I said, obsessed) and she used black underwear instead of white. It turned out so pretty and I thought to myself, girl get out of those white granny panties and throw on these sexy black ones. So that is exactly what I did and boy am I glad I did!
Sorry the pics are not the greatest, I am really annoyed with my phone, I hate having to use it for photos. My camera crapped out and I am saving for a new one. Bear with me for a little, the new camera is coming soon!
I used the China Glaze Bohemian Collection for this marble. They are so so so good for water marbling. I used them once before with no base and I was really happy with how it turned out. I am much more thrilled with this sexy number! I never thought about using black as a base but it works really well, at least for these shimmery somewhat duochrome-y polishes. I'll have to give it a shot with regular polish and see how it goes.
Hope you guys enjoyed this one and a huge thanks to Jeanette for being my inspiration!
Happy Polishing Loves!
