So Dry Marbling...good in theory but not so good in application! While the Dry Marble method saves you on cleanup you need a lot of time and patience to let the marbles dry. Essentially, you paint on a clear coat on a plastic baggie. Then you paint on your base color. In my case, I used Wet N Wild Black Creme. I let that layer dry and then painted on another very generous layer of Black Creme. Before it dried I dropped dots of Layla Ultraviolet and Sinful Colors Clementine and swirled all of the colors together. After letting the decals dry, I pulled them (GENTLY) off the plastic. I painted my nails with a clear coat and the applied the decals to each nail. I cut down the edges to fit my nails and cleaned up any straggly edges with acetone. I don't think I would do dry marbling very often but I like the practice of making decals on plastic. I will do decals again soon!
