She makes DIY, beauty videos and amazing nail art tutorials. I love how they are always so creative, easy to make and they always turn out fantastic. So we decided to join our nail art forces and create mix and match nails. I came up with this all black and white design, while she created a gorgeous colorful one. Make sure to watch her tutorial.

It will be linked at the end of this video and in the description box. But first, let me show you how to achieve this monochromatic creation, so go grab your black and white polish and let's dive in. My black and white polish are ready but let’s put them on a side for a minute because we have to prime our nails with a base coat first. This way we block the nasty staining and keep our nails pretty and healthy. Alright, now our nails are prepped and ready for some color. Paint your thumb and pointer black. I have to apply two coats for an opaque result. Then paint your middle, ring and pinky finger in white. At this point your nails should look like this.

Quite a funny manicure! But don't worry because we are just getting started! Time to take out your artistic skills and make some designs! On the ring finger we are making a beautiful flower design. Dip your medium sized dotting tool in black polish and make five dots close together like that to represent the petals. Make several of these flower shapes all over your nail. Some can be bigger, some smaller because there are all sorts of flowers out there. I still need some smaller dots to make the design fuller. Leave the polish dry and then proceed with the white. Make smaller white flower shapes on top of the bigger black ones. This way you will keep that black flower silhouette, which I think looks so stunning. And it seems like the design was so difficult to make when it’s in fact so easy! To complete the design make black dots in the center of each flower. I think this design is so pretty even as an accent nail to a solid manicure. On my right hand I made this design on my thumb and I just switched the colors - so I have white flowers on black background and I absolutely love it! On the pinky we are making the easy and always cute polka dots design. Make a row of dots along the center of the nail and then add two rows by the sides. You can go for bigger or smaller dots, I went for a medium sized ones. If you don't have a dotting tool youkan use a q-tip or a toothpick to make this classic but lovely design. So far we made two black designs on the white background. But, on the middle finger, will making a yin yang which represents balance and will connect all of the black and white designs into a story. Here's how to make a perfect yin yang sign in an easy way! I like to mark three dots along the center of the nail.

Now just connect these dots making an "S" shape using a striper, precise brush or even a toothpick. It doesn't have to be flawless right away, you can always go in later and perfect it. Then color one half in black. Yin Yang represents how opposite forces are actually interdependent and give rise to each other. All we have to do now is make a black dot on the white half and white dot on the black half of the nail. Help! Moving to our black background designs. On the pointer we're drawing white triangles all over the nail. I am using my precise brush, which I got in a craft store for very cheap. And you guys know that I love it for nail art. The triangle lines don't have to be perfect and opaque yet – we are just making a draft first! Now we can go over all the lines again making them bolder and neater. I love this design! The white triangles look so cool on the dark background, don't you think? This design itself could work great on all the nails or as an accent on a ring finger for example. On the thumb let's make some classic and classy vertical stripes. I am not very good with a striper. That's why I decided to use a tape,

which makes perfect stripe designs super easy to achieve. Stick parallel tape pieces along the nail, apply white polish and peel away the tape. Here I am using a nail art tape, but you can make your own DIY nail art tape using usual scotch tape and scissors in minute! My white polish was getting quite thick and gloopy so I had to mix in a few drops of nail polish thinner. Voila! The perfect stripes in no time! Oops I did it again! No problem because the precise brush takes care of such small errors in a sec. And here is our last design all done! I made the same designs on my right hand but I made horizontal stripes on the ring finger and flowers on the thumb. Finally we have to apply a top coat to seal all the designs, add some shine and protection. A matte top coat would look gorgeous on these nails too, but unfortunately I couldn't find it in any local store! That is it for my monochrome mix and match nail art. Youtube

WATER MARBLE Nail Art Tutorial - Black & White Design How to Basics Techniques

Then a layer or 2 of a white nail polish I’m using this glass candle holder with a 5cm diameter opening it’s not too big so hopefully I won't have to use too much nail polish to fill it you can also use any round shaped containers or cups whatever you can find around the house then I filled it with tap water and let it sit for about thirty minutes or so until it becomes room temperature you don’t want the water to be too cold because it dries up the nail polish quicker So I’ve got my 2 colors ready.

It’s just a simple 2 color design. have them open so you can access them quickly starting with the black polished one drop and wait for that to spread then continue with a drop of the white polish and repeat steps until you get few rings of each Colori recommend not dripping it from too high otherwise it will sink to the bottom of the cupid hear other people say to use filtered water just use the tap because the water here in Australia is pretty clean and it definitely works for me something to note about the type of nail polish to use did a couple of polish tests to make sure the colors spread properly some nail polishes don't work very well either it doesn't spread or it doesn't allow other polishes to spread on top of them so test it out and see which ones work for you so once you have this bulls eye ring in front of you looks kind of hypnotizing doesn't ingrate a stick with a pointy end I’m using an orange stick here and start anchoring the outer rings like this you do this so that when you drag the designs later on it doesn’t move around I think missing this step was why my last water marble attempt failed so miserably now that we have our spied web set setup we can start dragging the rings together. There are lots of ways to create designs with water marble this is probably the easiest way so if you want to see me do more water marble designs let me know in the comments and any suggestions for color combinations that you may have so now that I have created a few petal shapes

I’m just going to turn the glass around to a position that is the easiest for me to dip my finger in then aim where you want your design to be and lower your fingernail into the water hold your finger in the water and scoop away the remaining polishes from the water surface once the coast is clear you can take your finger out and there you go looks like a bit of a mess but you can easily clean that up with some nail polish remover you can always tape around the fingers to prevent them from getting on your skin too much on now that I have shown you the basics let’s try another one and I’ll show you how to do them 2 at a time to save you some nail polish so

before you start dripping again make sure the water surface is clean of any polish residues now once you have everything set up use your orange stick and drag 3 lines across the rings to create 4 big petal shapes like this then drag 2 more lines in-between the first 2 petals to make them into smaller ones you can dip the orange stick to combine the petals to make a point now that we have done the first design do the same on the other side to create the second one once you got your 2 designs ready dip one of your fingers in the first design than make sure the surrounding polishes have broken off slowly take that finger out without disturbing the rest of the design next dip your second finger in the second design hold it there and scoop away the remaining polish and take your finger outseen killing 2 birds with 1 stone or something like that after you clean off the surrounding nail polish from your fingers this is how it looks but knowing me I like to go the extra step so I added some dots in to make the marble even more interesting to look at add some black dots in the white area and white dots in the black area then once you’re done add top coat for a lasting finish.
