How do you do water nails?

Items needed: Tape(scotch whatever), Disposable cup, Nail polish(about 2-4 colors or more) You have to do it quick or else it won't turn out very nice. Step 1: Fill a disposable cup with water(about half) Step 2: Add just a drop of nail polish from the brush(let it drop off the brush[put one color first then put another color inside that first color, it should spread out]) Step 3: Get a tooth pick and make a design in the nail polish. (this step you must do relatively fast or it will create a "skin" on the surface of the water) Step 4: Tape your finger around the nail and dip it in the middle of your design Step 5: Leave your nail in there for about 10 seconds Step 6: Turn your nail so that it's in the water and your nail is facing upwards. Step 7: Lift your nail slowly out. It might take a while for the design to come out but it turns out really pretty. HOPE THIS HELPS =))))))<333333
