Stamped Water Marble | DIY Nail Art Tutorial

[@jo_tee]

ooooh collette welcome back, missed you so. you didnt bail, dont say that. you have been thru alot. you needed time for you amd thats important. i understand your loss, pets arent just animals they are family. i too am mourning i know exactly how you feel. my father suddenly passed couple weeks ago and its just been awful. everything just goes flat and its so hard to get out of that. but pray and leave it to god, he will give guidance. change ... scary at times but sometimes needed to pull yourself back up. do it....! although i have no idea what twitch is i will definitely follow you. ill be learning something new. cool!! go for it! there's nothing to lose. these colors are gorgeous, design came out nice. not so sure about the process, but end result marvelous as usual!! glad to see you back!! 👍👏

[@MSLP]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for supporting me during your own tough time!

[@kimloughman681]

I love watching you create the pattern in the water. It’s so satisfying and calming

[@lisadunham3845]

As an artist and having gone through the loss of a loved one, I understand the need to create and how grief can block inspiration. Love that this video was raw in showing that things don't always work according to plan. It's ok. Twitch would be a great platform to do streaming on and a great way to expand what you do. Hugs and it will get better.

[@pggysu]

I love that you didn't test first. No better way to understand how to finesse things than actually seeing where things can glitch. And I'll watch your videos wherever and whenever! Glad you're back. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MoonGoddess1371]

I love how you film the entire process. I feel like we paint our nails together that way 😊

[@kc8ueu]

Wow! You're back and you rock!!! I love the colors in this mani and the concept is really neat. I'm going to pass your vid on to a friend who is into watermarble and stamping and see if you get a new subscription. Anybody who doesn't understand where you've been needs a good swift kick. I'm glad you are feeling up to creating again; it's hard to lose somebody you love no matter what. I am watching this for the second time. I saw it last night and wanted to write you a 'welcome back' note but my keyboard had other ideas.

[@MSLP]

thanks!

[@monicamariamclean2198]

I love watching Colette and her channel because she does different things with her nails and it's unique and it's not what everybody else is doing on there now everybody else is just doing basic nails and basic designs and collect it's not doing that she's gone much more than that.

[@lindsay5247]

Thanks for the real moment accidents and fixes you used to make it work!

[@monicamariamclean2198]

I love that blue and a yellow color and I like the design

[@pagestephens8242]

Colette! Great to see you!!! I think I can speak for all of your fans when I say, we TOTALLY understood your need to take time off. I don't know much about twitch, but I hope I will be able to see you there! Thank you for showing us that even the most perfect nail artists make little flubs, and if you don't panic, it can be fixed easy peasy! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for keeping me sane while I was stuck in a wheelchair for 4 years, your videos and nail art inspired me to keep positive, try new techniques, and have pretty nails of my own!

[@handsomebynatasja2947]

Love to see you back! Thinking of you’all a lot✨ Looking forward to your lifestreams!!

[@calichef1962]

You take as much time as you need. I'll still be here. I've been watching you for almost ten years now. In fact, you were my first KZbin subscription, I swear! Your water marble videos were, and are, like magic to me. I'm always hypercritical of my own artistic attempts, so I haven't actually tried to water marble myself yet. But I have recreated some of your more simple designs before. As a lifelong pet steward I know how badly losing a pet can just knock the wind out of your sails. Grief and mourning take their own sweet time and don't let us get both oars in the water on our schedule. I'll try to follow you to Twitch, but I can't make any promises. I've only been there a couple of times so I don't really understand how it works yet. But I'll always be here and I'll do anything I can to help you realize your dreams. Be well, dear Colette.

[@MSLP]

Thank you so much for sticking with me so long! When I announce a date, I'll also try to give a quick crash course for those not familiar with Twitch - it's not hard exactly, but it is different from youtube.

[@ronneesuescott9495]

Hi Colette! This idea is GENIUS! You're so amazing! I cannot believe how gorgeous your designs are. You're so talented! You cracked me up when you said oh sh#t! You're always so calm. This design is gorgeous, as all your designs are. I can't believe you don't have hundreds of thousands of viewers. I have no idea what Twitch is, but I'll watch your videos anywhere. I wish you the best of luck. I'm praying 🙏 you become successful in your nail business! You're one of the most talented artists on utube. Have a wonderful week. God bless

[@lisah6804]

It's great to have you back, Collette! This design is amazing!

[@azombiemovie]

I've never tried twitch before but I would watch your stuff on there!

[@vickibumbarger5796]

Welcome back! Great video as always. You don't have to be sorry about anything. You need to look out for you.

[@cerisekarpinski9697]

Girrrrrl, after watching this, I would say, patience is your middle name!!! Great Work!!!

[@jenniferhogan7347]

I was playing around with that same technique last night. I didn't think about flipping over the stamper head. I bet you may be able to push down from the inside of the stamper using a pencil stamper to make it more rounded and possibly prevent so many bubbles. Thank you for sharing :)

[@ManionaBudget]

First and foremost, you don't need to "make it up to us". With that being said, the live streaming idea is pretty darn awesome. I, for one, would follow you anywhere. As for the mani, I really like it! I think personally I'll play it safe and stick to dipping my fingers, haha.

[@medape]

Heeeyyyy! I've missed your videos and this one is more than making it up to us! You didn't bail though! Please don't say that. Your life and emotional wellbeing comes before KZbin and any Water Marble month! The lack of creative juices is totally understandable. It happens to me from time to time so why shouldn't it happen to the best of us (YOU)? ❤️ Regarding your going to another platform; I don't usually access Twitch but I would if it meant seeing more of your creative process. Now, I'm sorry to hear that your views on here are stagnating. Whenever people ask me for advice on water marbling or they're having a hard time, I refer them to your channel. You do have the best tutorials on KZbin!

[@MSLP]

thanks so much Mette

[@dawnulrich710]

OMG I did the water veiling on my nails the night I watched your video on it, and They turned out so good and I got a truck load of compliments on them. If i can figure out how to post a pic in these comments I will send you the pic. THANK YOU for posting the video and showing me how to do it.

[@jaykb6587]

Dawn Ulrich I had so much success that I tried doing it with two colors. I had a black swatch sticks, white on the "veil," and I added a pink glitter right to the center just before I picked it up. It was striking! And fun.

[@MSLP]

so glad you gave it a try and it worked!

[@manishamnaildesigns]

Love your nail art and videos Colette. Keep doing what make YOU happy! Take care ☺️🙋🏻💕

[@krisbane2623]

I don't know about other viewers but for me your occasional mishaps make your tutorials more...relatable..I guess,your not just an artist flaunting your new tools like some other nail-tubers lol I find it gives me more confidence to try it out I guess is what I'm trying to say... I would definitely follow to a new platform ,love the idea of responses in real time...

[@melaniselong1197]

I’d LOVE to watch a live stream of your work!!!!!!

[@teellbee]

This was a beautiful design and fascinating technique. Collette, I’m glad when you take time to take care of you. I am unfamiliar with Twitch, but I am sure I would enjoy watching your testing sessions. I’ve every confidence they would be fun and very instructive. You are the best nail art teacher on KZbin.

[@pishnguyen5329]

I don't know if I count as a "trusty fan", since I seldom comment. I do watch all your videos, though. You are one of the few KZbin people I watch/follow that I would follow to a new platform. I love your approach to nail art and your creativity. I missed your annual Water Marble March videos, but I understand why you didn't feel up to doing them. Our furry kids really grab hold of our hearts, and you have to give yourself time to grieve in your own way. This was such a beautiful and striking design! Using the stamper to apply the marble design was a neat twist. I loved watching it. I also love how you included the minor hiccups you encountered along the way, as well as your solutions.

[@MSLP]

you don't have to comment to be a trusty fan! I know myself I don't comment on everything I watch - lurkers make the world go round ;)

[@michelle90104]

You always do such pretty designs

[@realisticskypearson606]

I'm with you on any platform!

[@KrisKbob_Gaming]

Used to live in Minnesota. I honestly miss the winters but by this time of the year, I’m still ready to hunt down that darn groundhog lol

[@MSLP]

That's how I feel - I wouldn't want to live somewhere with no winter, but I could for sure do with a shorter one!

[@monicamariamclean2198]

@@MSLP your nails definitely look like spring how do you keep your nails so long like that Colette it's not snowing over here but it's been very cold and very rainy over here I live in silver spring the cold weather does not want to leave us I cannot wait to get warm I actually can't wait for the summertime I love spring and summer time cuz it's warmer outside.

[@ginnyr8711]

Omg, so beautiful. Love ur color choices. Pls keep ur youtube channel I love watching ur videos. But I love the idea of watching videos live. That would be so amazing to interact with u. Hope u had a great weekend.

[@MSLP]

I'll for sure always keep my channel =)

[@Babyyogana]

love your videos, i’ve been watching you since i was 7 years old, im about to be 19! 😩♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ your videos are so satisfying

Me too! Except I started when I was nine and now I am about to be 21!

Grace omgggg 😭😭😭

[@EssenceofPolish]

The colors are so pretty and vibrant with silver as the base, i love the color combination😍!! I dont kno what twich is but I'll make an account jus to follow you lol because I would like to see some live videos too..Glad to see you're back and so happy you're feeling better!!😊

[@stepscoun48]

Yes!! Please live stream your art. I love the nails

[@wendyrichmond2996]

This was awesome ! Love marveling never knew you could stamp it !!! Brilliant ! Thank You enjoyed it !

[@chanjrox81]

Another amazing manicure!!! I love your tutorials and try to implement them in my nail routine! Would love to watch live video of your testing! Keep your head high and looking forward to see what you do in the future! Much love!!!

[@Zindzdesigns]

Go for it! You have the talent and voice to go with it. I would definitely watch you on a live stream🙂

[@ginnyc8271]

An interesting way to watermarble! Great job on the clean up. Thanks for the video.

[@jackiefloyd610]

Colette, whatever you decide to do with your channel, I'll still follow, subscribe, view and all that jazz. I truly enjoy your work and techniques. And, I agree with one of your subscribers that you didn't bail on us, you just needed some "me" time. God bless you in your next endeavor.

[@JJMedusa]

--- What a beautiful design! I'm glad to see you uploading a new video & I hope you are well. :)

[@silentwinged]

Glad you're back! I am all for watching live testing on Twitch! :D I've been in such a creative slump myself - we bought a house and then had to put our 17 yr old cat down. Feeling a little inspired by this video though!

[@ronneesuescott9495]

silentwinged so sorry for the loss of your cat. And Congratulations on your new home. God bless

[@MSLP]

My heart goes out to you, I can only imagine that the stress of moving made that even harder. Glad I could bring a little inspiration to your day!

[@carmenbarrera9878]

Would love to see a live stream of your process for water marbling!! And I would also follow you to twitch, even though I've never heard of it. I've never tried water marbling before, and would like to. So, I'd like to see a very basic, very beginner tutorial. Thank you for all that you do!!

[@ronneesuescott9495]

Carmen Barrera I agree 100%

[@allisonskinner4198]

This is so beautiful! Thank you for posting this video! I am new to nail art/stamping and I'm having a great time learning.

[@mrs.schrado7421]

Welcome back lady!!! I would follow you to twitch!! I love seeing your tests, what works and what doesn't. Helps us get passed some of the mistakes that can happen. Have you thought about mixing in some more themed designs, like when you did hunger games designs? That could help bring some variety and new viewers. Though I know the algorithm has been hurting many types of channels for a long while now.

[@MSLP]

I have, sometimes I hesitate a little because I don't want people to think "oh, she's just jumping on the (fill in the blank) bandwagon" or something like that, but I should just get over that & do it!

[@tamithompson2533]

Love the colors. And yes I, in North Dakota am still having winter. Ugh

[@Emjay-kc9td]

Welcome back, Collette. You were missed. Yes, I'd be interested in live streaming. Never heard of Twitch but I'll try it. Just let us know! TFS BTW, you didn't bail on us. You needed time. Life happens. Just glad to see you back. 🤗😀

[@MSLP]

Thanks so much

[@ssue4q]

Hi Collette oh man I must tell you I still think your color combinations are the prettiest of any of the nail tutorials on KZbin that is a huge compliment but that is the truth!!! Absolutely gorgeous and sure I'd follow you to Twitch I'll have to Google it cuz I have no idea what that is for live videos and Lynette everybody understands about Dude. Our animals truly are family members everybody knows that you don't have to apologize for that for not being here for a while it's to be expected and I know you're still hurting and missing him I lost my dog 2010 I'm still miss him every day at least I got almost 17 years with him but it's never long enough anyway this water marble stamping so pretty I've missed you making me laugh as you did tonight thanks so much for sharing welcome back.ps on a little side note I had tried something new myself watching another nail Channel so I bought these powders+ gel polish a nail dryer the powder is a holographic glitter well yeah it came out pretty but it was so time consuming I've recently found that the newer types of glitter polishes that I actually got at the Dollar Tree a Holo glitter polish with two coats of that and I get exactly the same result much easier and quicker! Guess the point I'm making I guess it's been a long time since I bought glitter type of nail polish because it never had coverage like you've used a powder before just had to share that

[@MSLP]

Thank you =) Twitch is a streaming site that started out mainly for gamers but has a growing creative community. I'll be sure to explain it a little more when I announce a date!

[@lynnheals6169]

I'd definitely watch a twitch stream especially if you're open to color suggestions! I'm always on twitch too so that platform would work for me. I hope you're going into this because you would really enjoy streaming, not just from a business perspective.

[@MSLP]

Yes, I think it would be great to get color suggestions from the chat, and interact with the audience as I'm doing things not just after the fact. It's not strictly a business decision, part of it is being bit by the streaming bug after watching on Twitch myself for about a year now.

[@louisesteyn8064]

I thinks its bloody brilliant!

[@shyniestar]

i’d love to see livestreams! can’t guarantee i can catch them if you decide to do them, but it’d be great if you kept the past broadcasts available after you end the streams.

[@MSLP]

Definitely! Twitch unfortunately doesn't archive VODs (video on demand) permanently, only for a few weeks, but I'd put everything up here too.

[@elizabeththomas8395]

Just keep me informed I will follow. Love this design.

[@jaykb6587]

I've been missing you, but you have been in my thoughts and my heart. This is a beautiful mani... But... I think I would have more disasters than it would be worth. The "veil" technique that you tried encouraged me to try. Total success! For some reason my right orange stick, which I was using, kept getting almost stuck. Using just a touch of cuticle oil stopped that problem. When I did try to water marble, I couldn't get a bullseye for the life of me! I'm wondering if the problem was my use of too small of a container. I was using a small plastic hospital pill dispensing cup.... As for your live-streaming... I stay off of ALL social media except KZbin... I'd hate to miss it but think it's probably a good idea for you to follow through with. And again, I have missed you, but TOTALLY understand!

[@MSLP]

so glad the veil technique worked for you! I feel like that has so much potential, I'm looking forward to playing more with it myself. I usually say smaller is better than larger when it comes to cups, but one that small may be too tiny. It's OK if Twitch isn't for you, the content will get uploaded here too after the stream =)

[@hopenlove3258]

Beautiful nail design.

[@hatengoogle4969]

I love this, glad to see you back. Thanks for showing all your struggles, it’s so helpful. Wondering how often you clean the stick when dragging in the water. I may watch livestream, but don’t know how to twitch! Also so sorry for you Minnesotans I wish spring was everywhere.

[@MSLP]

For this one, I was wiping my stick about every other stroke - it can depend on what polish you're marbling with, how much gets built up on the tip, you want to try and keep it sharp to get nice clean lines in the design. Twitch is a streaming site & it's very easy to use, you don't even have to make an account unless you want to chat. I'll be sure to include more info when I announce a date, for those unfamiliar with it

[@stephaniejonesrcs3028]

I would follow you and I think live is great! You can answer questions in realtime....

[@Imokanurnot]

You're so talented, love your tutorials!

[@PixTheMallow]

I followed your twitch. I also really love you channel its so sweet and relaxing. I appreciate all your hard work you put into it. Thank you very much 💕

[@MSLP]

Aw thanks! Fair warning, things are slightly less sweet & relaxed during lives LOL

[@PixTheMallow]

@@MSLP good 💖

[@Prescilla24]

This one was action packed! 😁 Love the colors and more casual Collette! Honestly, not sure if I would follow you to Twitch. I need to research if they have an app and how it works and it depends on what time you'd stream. But if the stars align, I will definitely give Twitch a shot and you will be the reason why!

[@MSLP]

they do have an app, or you can also use a mobile web browser - I'm not sure what time(s) it would be yet, and I'd love it if you join me there, but if not that's OK too =)

[@jodiejohnson4818]

Had to laugh. I'm in Minnesota, watching this tutorial while it is snowing. 😂 Wonderful tutorial! I have been trying to get brave enough to try water marbling. I will have to try this!

[@gail4077]

I love your videos. And yes I would follow you to twitch. I'd love to see your live feed and you definitely deserve to grow. You are so talented! Praying for you!

[@lainyjane4581]

I just unsubscribed to some channels because i felt i was spending too much time watching videos. You are not one of them. I probably wouldn't do live streaming often because of time issues. I really love your tutorials and just how you behave/talk etc. I wish you the best in all your endeavors. Thank you for all you share.

[@MSLP]

thank you so much!

[@nalanimcneil728]

I love the idea of live streaming! 👌

[@TrigunKittie]

Yes for the livestreaming on twitch! I will follow you there and continue here too.

[@jamie514]

Love your tutorials! Always Look forward to them every week & totally understand why you would take time off after such an emotionally draining experience. Glad you’re back & maybe I’ll get twitch when you start there. Keep us posted :) I hear alot of old school youtubers with your concerns lately. Its youtubes evolution more than anything any one content creator is doing wrong. Ps Love love the colours of this watermarble.

[@jackieblue3938]

I love watching your stuff, but I have no idea what twitch is. 🤣 Skipping March was completely understandable. I had to put my sweet fur baby down in March also. She was pretty snobby, totally my husband's baby. 🤣 But, I spent the most time with her. It really leaves a hole in your life. Feeling a little better every day, hope you are, too. Whatever you decide with your brand, I'll be a follower. ❤

[@felineluvr8408]

It came out really well. Great color combinations. Please don’t leave KZbin. I have no other way to follow you.

[@MSLP]

don't worry, I can't see myself ever leaving youtube - even if I stream elsewhere, it will all be uploaded here afterwards.

Thank you for sharing. Would like to see live stream.

[@harrisonia]

I'm glad you did this water marbling by stamper video because I was looking for some alternatives to the regular way of water marble nail art. (NOTE TO SELF: buy a stamper kit! lol 😆) I finally bought some sponge wedges to try out your gradient design videos: will also revisit your no-water, drag marble videos! Have you ever done the dry marbling on (Ziploc) plastic bags to create nail art stickers or decals? 🤔 If you have, I didn't see it in the archive. 😔

[@MSLP]

I haven't used plastic bags before - when I do decals I usually use my silicone Miracle Mat, or just a plastic lid

[@michellescott3496]

You don't owe us anything! I'll watch you do whatever lol Never heard of Twitch Where do you store all of your polishes? Have you ever done a tour? This is such a pretty combo... pattern reminds me of citrus

[@MSLP]

I hadn't heard of Twitch either until about a year ago - it's a streaming platform that started out mostly for gamers, but there's a growing Creative community there too. I'm actually in the middle of reorganizing my stash now - going from 3 Helmers & a bunch of shoeboxes to 6 Helmers and probably still a bunch of shoeboxes. There are some older pics on my blog of my storage

[@TheNailPolishHound]

Brilliant! Have to give this a try 👍🏻

[@yvonnadodson9232]

[@Yasmin4Davis]

Beautiful work 😍💖

[@harrisonia]

I'm late on leaving my comment. 😮 I enjoy the designs you do, even though my nails aren't as long. 💅🏽 As for live streaming, it's cool because it's "present". The timing usually gets me and I never know how long it will run - especially w/o a planned "objective". 😊 [OAN.... Although I've bought a mix of NEW polishes, I have had no success w/ water marbling. Will keep trying. I did notice that some colors spread well and others won't. I believe it's the water temperature that I haven't nailed yet!]

[@caitlinjones6656]

I love your idea of moving to different platforms! Great decision. You should try Vimeo. Its a global market and worldwide as well. Same type of thing as Twitch and KZbin but just a larger platform. I dunno you can look into it. Just a suggestion. Love the colors you chose for this design btw!

[@MSLP]

I've heard of Vimeo but never actually watched anything on it - I should check it out just so I really know all my options

[@djlianneke]

What an excelent idea, as usual in your video. I'm for sure, will try the transparant colors over silver .. and with watermarble.. only if i winn the fight with watermarble.. still fighting....😋) Beuatiful colors you picked. TFS

[@Pandabee11]

Twitch. I’ve heard of it but I’m a luddite and would need help finding/downloading the right app and how to use it. But if you’re worried about the channel dying I’m willing to try. It’s nice to see you back (((hugs))). And I love that water marble technique.

[@MSLP]

it's fairly easy to find and use, or you can even use a mobile web browser if you don't want to DL the app. I'll be sure to give a quick breakdown of how it works when I announce an actual date!

[@SandyzSerious]

Beautiful!

[@conyeah]

Wherever you go, I go! Connie

[@ValarieSimon]

Have you tried using striper tape to seperate, to make two nails on one head.. Just a thought.

[@MSLP]

That is a GREAT idea! The dotting tool wasn't bad for separating it, but a little tricky and I kept worrying about damaging the stamper. Thank you =)

[@ThingsIHaveLoved]

beautiful!
