Water Spotted Nail Art Tutorial

[@marymetcalfe918]

gorgeous! I know that this is completely different from the people saying to dot the co;or because it is easier. I just loved the look and the way it was done. I have never done nail art, but I feel inspired.

[@AllTheThings_Kyrya]

This is flat out brilliant. You have the ability to look outside the square with nail art, good on you, I'm looking forward to trying to adapt this to share with my students. Thank you for spending the time recording and uploading this tutorial!

[@MsDekie]

I watched this video about 4 months ago and finally decided...I'll try it...but I keep my nails SHORT... I did it.... Had to redo a few and its not as perfect as yours..."awesome" but practice makes perfect....absolutely love this technique... Thanks so much for sharing....

[@pebbles31188]

She is to good!

[@MsDekie]

Yep....

[@allisons2373]

I love how you gave another way to basically make the hand sanitizing spray. I almost went out on a hunt to try and find that spray but its nice to know it probably would have been a waste of time. I love your tutorials because you explain in pretty good detail on how to do the designs. I never knew how to water marble until I watched your vids.

[@anniehua5430]

cool!!! I saw cute polish's tutorial too and I couldn't find spray hand sanitizer. Great technique to make it!!!!

[@abbiecake6239]

You can also use hair spray.

[@MrMrCheeseball]

Actually you can find it for like 99cents at justice

[@biggestcrybabyever64]

abbiecake6239 REALLY?!!? MY MOM HAS LIKE, 5,000000 BOTTLES!

[@abbiecake6239]

Yeah it works if you spray it from a distance.

[@sunshinechuu6711]

Noelia Garcia I highly doubt your mother has 5 million bottles of hair spray. And chill out on the caps!

[@KaiteyRay]

Great tutorial! That pink colour is gorgeous :)

[@PN-sk3ve]

I perfer to use a body spray (one that has alcohol) cause at the and my nails will look good and I will smell good too! can't go wrong with that =)

[@BellaPixi95]

I really don't understand why people would bash you. People recreate nail art all the time, and you did say where you saw it and gave your own twist to it. AND gave tons of information even I was wondering with the cutepolish video. So you go girl ;) I think it's amazing!

[@Moola915]

Your really pretty👌👌👌😊😋

[@MSLP]

thank you =)

[@Missgosstheboss]

I love how committed you are to making this work.

[@LiquidPinkLady]

I love this look on you- no matter what inspired it. Again you present your videos very well. Your creations are dazzling, the outcome speaks for itself.

[@MSLP]

yes - it's on my list & I've done some testing but nothing I'm happy with yet =)

[@MSLP]

yes - it will vary depending on your sprayer but generally closer = larger & further = smaller

[@MSLP]

yes - it's part of the tips & tricks playlist which is linked in the information box - it is labelled as for water marbling but it's the same thing =)

[@MSLP]

I prefer clear because it gives you a more accurate idea of the color - the white ones are like using a white base color

[@robinabdulla5979]

I'm so happy I watched this! I can't find the spray anywhere. I wondered about doing a DIY and low and behold you have the answers! Thank you!

[@pgabrielfreak]

oh, neat! i appreciate all of the work and experimentation that you put into your tutorials, Colette! and the advice. you rock, Lady!

[@Ramo24gier85]

With the sponge you make really good works!!!!compliments

[@y2thev]

love watching your videos. It's a shame some people don't listen to you telling us which nail polish and designs you are going to show us plus, when you have seen a video that shows SOMEONE ELSE doing the design you then show us and TELL US that you have copied it. no breach of copyright anywhere in your videos. BTW, this is my fav, thanx so much for making nails fun

[@glenandcookie]

i really think that you are awsomely talented!!!!! i had been practicing the water marble for almost a full six months before i finally got it. with that time my nails have grown out so i am now able to really see the full designs on myself :) i must now work on doing the water spot technique. i love this. thank you for doing what you do i love learning from your videos.....

[@MSLP]

remover can work in the short term but isn't really good to use because it breaks polish down, I'd recommend polish thinner because it actually replaces what's dried out =)

[@sweetboo1022]

Great Tutorial once again and I am loving your new hair style! I can't wait to do this mani. I have one more Valentine's Day one this week then this is next on my list. Keep up the good work and I too would love to see how you do an acid washed mani.

[@MSLP]

if you wanted, it would be similar although it would be difficult to create the same level of true randomness & different sizes of dots

[@MSLP]

I haven't tried hairspray - but I explain in the vid how I was unable to find spray hand sanitizer & had to make my own

[@bubbydumas]

I never went to the store to search for the sanitizer, I took a tip from a comment on another persons channel and used alcohol. Scotch to be specific. Worked fairly well although having a moisturizer in the liquid I don't think is an entirely bad idea. So, to water down the sanitizer like you did may be the best solution. Thank you fo your indepth research about this nifty nail art alternative! Rose

[@MSLP]

I did a rainbow ombre as the base of my acid leopard design

[@ThePamster]

I really would love to see more of these type designs with different colors Colette! Thank you for for doing this for us FANS, the haters need to go somewhere else. I mean what is with all these dang judgemental comments?? Sheesh! THANK you for all you do in spreading the joy of Nail Art! I hope these negative nancy's don't discourage you Colette. ♥

[@Therma3]

I love this just might have todo a blue/green/yellow gradient. This is amazing. Love your nail designs.

[@MSLP]

mostly above - maybe about 8 inches from the cup but I think this could vary depending on your sprayer

[@EdnadeAssis]

Congratulations for the wonderful tutorial, I am learning a lot with you. his nails stayed gorgeous

[@LaynieFingers]

Holy cow, Colette, this is phenomenal! Watching your video had me at the store buying hand sanitizer (we really don't keep it on hand) and a spritz bottle. Turns out I did something pretty different with mine. It still needs a lot of work, but I'll have a video on what I did soon, and it's all thanks to your video here!

[@MSLP]

it is hand sanitizer mixed with alcohol. Some places, you can maybe find spray sanitizer but I had to mix it myself

[@squirrellover07]

i just tried this on my ring finger for a accent and i love it!!! I tried useing one spray far away from the cup of perfume and it work really well! thanks for the idea!! :)

[@MSLP]

I haven't heard of that technique but I'll add it to my request list

[@shedevilsexy1]

I think your nails look way better then how the opi spotted nail polish comes out. Love them!

[@chasetaylor0000]

This is so cool! Thank you for telling us your trial and errors. I can’t wait to try this look!

[@swordrose]

Thanks for the "hand santizer plus rubbing alcohol" idea, it worked beautifully!

[@ashleywayne2114]

oh my God, thank you so much for coming up with alcohol & gel sanitizer, I was looking all over for the spray kind & could not find it ANYWHERE! but before I saw this cute design I'd see it all the time lol.. but your's turned out so pretty, I wish I had longer nails like your's to do this, but we'll see how my poor short ones turn out. :) great video.

[@chitownRonnie]

I stumbled onto your channel by accident ...and I'm so glad I did!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@piccologirl2005]

I haven't seen cute polish's nor do I care where this came from but this is so cool! Your designs look really nice and I have watched a few of your videos and love them! I will be trying this when I can figure out how to do the water thing and thanks for the tip on the spray santizer!

[@Kyrose711]

love it!! I would love to see t with my school colors, dark blue and gollden yellow. THanks, keep up the beautiful work!!

[@MSLP]

I don't use fimo but when I have rhinestones I just use normal polish remover

[@caitlinblair3255]

If you have like really strong perfum like in a spray bottle you can also use that. I did that and it came out just fine.

[@MSLP]

I haven't tried that, but it's worth a shot

[@maliprasavath2861]

Very creative! I will try it for the first time.

[@hkreations5108]

I was recently turned on to this method, but I used plain alcohol in a spray bottle. I painted one color on my nails and used one contrasting color in the cup of filtered water. 1 or 2 drops of polish, then spray w/alcohol and the results were that of a mesh look. Dipped my nails and WOW!!! It turned out great! Sinful Colors seem to work well for "meshing".

[@anglik122]

Tus ideas son exelentes!! La mejor que eh visto

[@MSLP]

a veces incluso los colores que cada pliego por sí solos no funcionan bien juntos - sólo tienes que seguir intentando diferentes colores y diferentes combinaciones =) también estás utilizando la temperatura ambiente del agua filtrada?

[@JillianLaManna2]

WOW that pink is bright!!!

[@pristineobscene]

Your hair looks gorgeous in this video!

[@jasminewilliams1695]

Thanks for the tips I also couldn't find the spray and tried using it In a spray bottle but my dots were to big so now I know how to thin it out :) thanks and I Luv your nails

[@somethingreal09]

Thank You!!! thank you for sharing your talents and ignore the miserable haters on here they are just miserable people that unfortunately are looking for company plzz don't let them discourage you from making your wonderful tutorials that most of us appreciate!!! oxox

[@briannagrzelak7855]

Thank you soo much!! This was much easier to follow than the other videos! And I'll be sure to send some pictures when I try this!

[@gracewesthof8981]

Awesome vid! I love your nails and designs, so creative! I admire your perseverance throughout this video.

[@laylacat787]

your nails are very pretty and long and they look well taken care of!

[@vickytoria992]

Well I would just like to say thank you very much for doing this video. I was having such a hard time doing it like cutepolishes video since we don't have that sanitizer spray here in the us. I found the same CVS one and had zero luck. So thank you for doing the research and providing me with a solution.

[@mrzcrwn]

I'd like to see other combos I need a little inspiration :) I'm new at this nail art thing! I'm loving it so far

[@preethabasu22]

Thats exactly what i did i.e pour the sanitizer in a small spray bottle and went ahead and it worked great and i didnt even see your video until today! Looks like am becoming a pro too! :D

[@lorelei2gia]

Wow, that came out perfectly. Love it.

[@LK-MARS13]

Bravo, tu es une artiste ! Kiss from France !

[@MSLP]

¿Está utilizando agua a temperatura ambiente filtrada? También hay que tener en cuenta que no todas las obras de uñas de la marca - en realidad no importa, pero cada color es diferente en el agua y sólo se necesita una gran cantidad de ensayo y error para encontrar los que funcionan bien. ¿Quieres uno con buena pigmentación, tal vez un poco en el lado grueso, pero lo suficientemente delgada como para goteo y por encima de todos secado lento

[@Ainjhellica]

thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been wanting to try the opi spotted and with it being an overseas excusive, it wasn't happening. so cool!

[@The1HOTMOMMY]

omg this is the 1st vid ive seen on nails when u started i had no idea how u were gonna do the spots it looks like u did the black first its the most awesome nail vid ive ever seen i am so gonna try this out this weekend :)

[@Megaritos2000]

Thank You so much for this tutorial I bought the same exact sanitizer from CVS and the same exact thing happened then I tried this and joyfully it worked! Yay thanks so much an I will be enjoying this design for a long time! :)

[@MSLP]

I haven't tried that but it might work

[@MSLP]

not usually, unless your faucet has a filtration system - I get mine from a brita pitcher

[@MSLP]

I don’t know when I’ll get to a video but there are some pics on my blog =) use the tag drop down in the right sidebar & select “my stash” I think it is the 2nd post that will show up

[@Tina931]

OMG! So many of you people carrying on about CutePolish! Please, watch Colette's video BEFORE you complain about copying. Colette CLEARLY gives CutePolish credit. Besides, who the hell cares??? I've never seen CutePolish, never heard of her until today. I would not have seen this technique had it not been for Colette showing it. Colette, you ROCK!

[@AdiBuki]

I LOVE YOUR ORIGINALITY - YOU ARE THE BEST I KNOW

[@QueenAbikeIdowu]

I love EVERYTHING you do! Your work is fab! Wish u were in Chicago so we could meet. I make my husband watch your videos and he is ready to do my nails! We both love your new hairstyle. Keep posting, I follow you blog and I think fb.

[@brianamarie8490]

wow!!! nice job you did good.You did just like cutepolish,you and cutepolish are the best.

[@TANAMOE]

The people who say she stole this obviously didn't even watch the first 30 seconds of the video. -_- She said that she was requested to do this and found out how to do this look from Cute Polish. Sounds like credit was given to me. Not to mention this video is way more informative on how to achieve this look. And that's why I love SimpleLittlePleasues!

[@angelakemp4879]

Those are absolutely fab!! Im most def going to try all these!!

[@MSLP]

I use a brush dipped in acetone for what's left after the tape is removed - you can check out the clean up tutorial under the Tips & Tricks playlist in the information box to see how =)

[@StevieLynnOsborne]

Those look amazing! I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the effort you put into them. Thank you for what you do.

[@MsBoliqua]

This looks is so neat and original!

[@honeybwp1]

I love dots or spots on nails they look ultra cute. I haven't seen any of your videos since the fall so I had to catch up and I wasn't disappointed you are great my friend. I requested this before but I thought I would try again for your to do list maybe, something with a cheetah print for the summer. Meowwww

[@mcldclaudia1]

you are sooo good u make it look easy for peps to do it i saw one of ur water marble videos and i cant stop watching all your other videos thanks for shareing ur knowlidge... :)

[@ellenbartsch4105]

Amazing! You're so clever and crafty!

[@MSLP]

I'm not sure - I think it depends on the sprayer as much as the concentration. But even when I tried with plain alcohol it created a cool design, just not the round spots

[@MSLP]

it's listed in the information box

[@NClovely620]

your hair looks wonderful!

[@MSLP]

it's linked in the information box

[@loliinadin]

Ohhhh Hermosaaas! Me Encanto Esta Nochee Me LAs Ago Asi Espero Que me queden Asii Me Encantoo Saludos!

[@ESmithonlyonthursday]

Great info! We would have never known what to try for those of us in the US.

[@whitesun99]

How did I miss this?!?!?!?!?!? I'm SO doing this over the water marble I have on my nails right now.

[@MSLP]

well, it depends on the brand but I always top my manicures with seche vite & that dries even stubborn polish

[@brendaaraujo143]

Wow! That ended up perfectly!

[@MSLP]

I'll add that to my request list

[@solospiritgirl7886]

thank you a really useful little tutorial. Given me the confidence to have a go x

[@darkchocolate198]

im bad doing marbling. but i love ur work so much. it look so elegant.

[@riverhatesu]

I love this! I'll try it if I ever find a container or something o do the water part in! Thanks!

[@MSLP]

this was just a makeup sponge, I've used artist sponge before also

[@lllntran]

I never seen that design on nails. That's pretty cool.

[@olgasosa]

I have the OPI polish that produces this same effect (can't remember the actual name now). The technique you show here looks identical. Love it.

[@MSLP]

Ah, the coveted European Exclusive Black Spotted =) I wanted it & thought about buying it on ebay but never did

[@MSLP]

there are tons of websites, I don't know that there's any best one - any place from amazon to ebay to more specific nail polish sites

[@ssue4q]

Love it as usual. Sure hope u do more in other colors.i dont have blk olish im gonna try acrilyic paint if that doesnt work im going to do some shades of green for the sponge with white spash. Or same colors as urs with a green splash?just white nails mabe a pearl white with the black splash would look really good ah? please do another one of these in ur choice of color pallett soon love all ur easy to understand wonderful tutorials.
