So, how can a self-confessed inartistic person end up being hooked with nail-art? Well, thanks to the internet, social media to be more specific. Since I was already into this love relationship with my nails starting my teen years, it didn't take so long for me to actually tell myself I can give it a try whenever I see beautiful nails pinned on Pinterest or shared on Instagram and Facebook (well, the easy-looking ones, that's all!). Nail-art is actually a strong word for me since I don't consider myself an artist, I'm just someone who has the patience and the stable hands for it! It became a sort of stress-reliever.
This was my very first attempt in recreating a design that I saw on a Youtube video tutorial. The technique is called water marbling. I decided to do this because the materials needed were all handy: a glass of room temperature water, q-tips or cotton buds, nail polish remover and the nail polishes that you'd like to combine together, preferably the bright-colored ones. It was tricky but very interesting, I had so much fun doing it though I rarely do this technique now because I actually find it quite laborious. I was so happy to have stumbled upon the video tutorial that I followed, Sara, the lovely and very energetic girl who did the tutorial clearly explained the whole process without making it boring. Click and watch her video that I linked bellow and you might want to give it a try yourself!
SaraBeautyCorner's water marble tutorial actually got me hooked into her Youtube channel, thus, prompting me to follow her other nail art tutorials. This one here is a very simple yet happy design made using the help of a drinking straw. You recycle and get beautiful nails, not bad for a reward, eh?
