How To Water Marble your Nails In 5 Easy Steps

January 18, 2012 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 2 Comments

Admiring all the different types of water marbled nails out there I had yet to come across someone who was willing to offer up a tutorial on how to do it all by yourself. Then I was contacted by Mixed Mama wanting to share her easy peasy 5 step tutorial on how to achieve the water marbled look yourself. I used to think it was really hard to do but not so…………… To get things started you will need the following

2 shades of nail polish. Use the following 2 shades if you are after nails like the ones in the pic or choose your own.

Essie Mint Candy Apple

Essie Soul Mate

Seche Vite Top Coat

Tape

Q-Tips

Cup of room temperature FILTERED water

Mechanical pencil

Nail polish remover

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
