Guest Post ~ Water Marble from Captivating Claws


Hey Everyone (or should I say "Hey Dolls"??  lol).  I'm Jodi from Captivating Claws and I'll be sharing a water marble with you today.. they're kinda my "thing" and when Lakeisha asked me to write a guest post, I knew right away I'd do a marble.  So, while Lakeisha's busy getting all smart completing her dissertation, we can all enjoy a fun mani. ;)

An Orly Water Marble:
This is the first time I've used all Orlys in a water marble.  I usually stick with OPI or China Glaze, but decided to try something different.  For this marble, I started with two coats of a white creme.  After that completely dried, I marbled with Orly Wild Wisteria, Lucky Duck, Snowcone and Basket Case.  The Orlys definitely didn't spread as well in the water as OPI and China Glaze, but after a few tries, I became more familiar with their formula and the marble turned out quite pretty.  I did notice the Orlys have a much shinier finish than any other polish I've marbled with, so that was a plus.  All in all this was a fun marble!!

Thanks, Lakeisha, for inviting me to do a guest post.  Good luck in all your studies and hurry back with your gorgeous swatches!!  :)
