The Marble Antidote // Red & Gold Marble Design

New nails! I finally got the 'new' watercolour polishes from Born Pretty that are constantly sold out and let me tell you; perfect marble nails. I only managed to get hold of 3 colours; blue, red and black but I'm going to try my best to get my hands on the other colours because holy moly. I'm going to do a full post on them because what a great invention.

Anyway, I saw a design like this on Born Pretty's instagram but they blinged it up with huge rhinestones stuck on top. I love these burgundy/blood red shades and decided to do my own version.

I love how these turned out. I'm gonna be doing marble watercolour nails all the time now. This polish makes it way easier than using acetone with normal polish or acrylic paint with water. You just pop a blob of the colour on, then use the clear solution to 'watercolour' it.

How I did it:-

I started off with 1 coat of The Antidote on my thumb, index and pinkie and then stamped on the gold designs from Tropical 36. I used one coat of White Heat on my middle and ring finger then applied a couple drops on the middle and only 1 drop of red colour on the ring finger. The more drops you add the more pigmented the colours will be. It will also be harder to get that watercolour effect so add drops sparingly. I added drops of the clear solution to create the effect. Once dry I stamped on some gold marble design from ND-076 then added a matte top coat to everything :)

I feel I may have to invest in some rhinestones to create a truly basic mani now...
