Water marbling is a technique for doing nails that allows you to have a sort of swirl affect.
These colors feel like summer to me which is why I did them, like this.

Step 1: Materials

You will need purified water, a round disposable cup, nail polish, scotch tape, and nail polish remover. If you do not use purified water you will have a disastrous time trust me. Also it needs to be room temp water. The colors I used were Xtreme Wear™ White On, Mellow Yellow, and Sun Kissed. My two top coats were China Glaze™ Fairy dust, and Seche Vite top coat. You will also need an orange stick or Q-tip to mix the colors.

even though i'm a teenage girl, i have to agree with you I8nite
the smell of nail-polish is so chemical-y and disgusting
i can't stand using it often because of that
