{Nail Polish} Marbling

 

Today I have a fun project using nail polish to create a marble effect.

 

 

Using an old shallow container {I used an old plastic take out container}filled with about an inch of water, I drizzled each color of nail polish onto the water's surface.  Using the end of a thin paint brush, I swirled the polish colors together until it looked cool.

Working rather quickly, I placed a piece of water color paper face down onto the swirls and then removed it.  The nail polish adheres quickly to the paper.  I set it aside to dry and then you are left with the most gorgeous paper to work with!

 

 

Work in a well ventilated area because the odor from the polish is quite strong.

 

 

I created an envelope wrap for this week's Make It Monday 

and used a sketch from CAS(E) this sketch!

 

I LOVE this second piece with the blue and orange combination.

I can't wait to use it on my next project!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!
