Anywho, onto the (fail) nails! After I saw Jackie from Adventures in Acetone put up this fabulous needle marbling mani for a Cult Nails contest, I instantly decided I wanted to try it. Hers turned out SO beautiful I was like "psh I can do that." Not. Haha.
I used this tutorial from Liquid Jelly.
I decided to use a white base, China Glaze White on White and then marble ORLY Fowl Play. I thought that the lovely flakes in Fowl Play would show up, but sadly they did not.
There's a few nails I DO like, but since they were so inconsistent and I really kind of hate the color combination (sadly since Fowl Play is one of my faves) I consider the whole mani a fail. I think maybe if I would've used a black base....or Fowl Play as the base and maybe a silver on top, it would've been better. Meh. We'll see if I try this again, haha.
Have you guys tried needle marbling? It's less effort than water marble, which is why it appealed to me :)

P.S. I'm going out of town for some training for work for a week tomorrow! I'll have my laptop, so hopefully I can update, but I may not have much time. We'll seee!
