I began with a single coat of Revlon Iced Mauve for my base colour. It was opaque with only one coat.

I used China Glaze Lemon Fizz, Peachy Keep, Light As Air and High Hopes. I added a drop of each nail polish and then repeated the sequence again. Then I pulled the nail polish into a design I liked. I did three of my fingers at once and then repeated the process doing my last finger.
I had lumps where air bubbles had gotten caught and then when I added a top coat of Seche Vite the air bubbles burst and you can easily see them in the photo below.
I only took photo's in artificial light the night I did the water marbling.

This marbling didn't turn out quite the way I hoped because it had large air bubbles trapped under the surface. I usually get small air bubbles when water marbling but I think the large ones appeared as I did three nails at once so as the water was displaced more air would enter the area where the next nail would press.
I had a lot of fun playing with water marbling. After doing this water marbling I decided to try other colours and went through about 10 different nail polishes before I found one that worked! So if you're going to try this I suggest you start with colours that other people can confirm work otherwise you'll probably get so frustrated you give up.
