INSTRUCTION SHEET Thank you for purchasing this one-of-a-kind DIY nail art kit. Now you can create eye-catching salon quailty nail art designs at home. This kit has the tools you need to create beautiful water-marble nail art for everyday wear and special occasions. Find in your kit: 3 nail polishes, 3 *practice nail-sticks, tool caddy, 3 dropper-caps, reusable design bowl, spatula, dropper cleaning swab, etching tool, table cape, filtered water, paper towel, and this instruction sheet. The three easy to follow steps to this technique are Drop, Design, and Dip. (*In the text below, “practice nail-stick” maybe refered to as “nail” and illustrated as a fingernail.) Set-Up — Unfold table cape and place on top of workspace. Place nail polishes, tool caddy, droppers-caps, filtered water, paper towel, and design bowl on top of table cape. Prod the practice nail-sticks into the side of the tool caddy. Put the spatula, cleaning swab, and etching tool inside the center hole of the tool caddy. Do not prod the etching tool into the tool caddy. Pour filtered water into design bowl three-quarters full. Set the nail polishes in the order of your desired pattern (for example, red, white, blue or blue, red, white). Remove brush-caps from bottles of polish and replace with droppers-caps. Each polish must have its own dropper-cap. Set brushes aside, but do not discard. Squeeze and release the bulb of the dropper to collect polish into the glass pipette. Step 3: DIP Step 1: DROP Drop polish into the center of the design bowl onto the water’s surface. Alternate drops of each polish to create a target-like layer (also known as a “bull’s-eye”). Repeat this step until there are a minimum of three sets of rings (i.e., if you are using three polishes, the minimum number of rings would be nine). Allow each drop of polish to begin to spread on the water’s surface as you add subsequent drops. Look at your pattern and determine what part you like and want to capture. Position the nail over this area and lower it into the water (E); take care not to allow it to touch the bottom or the sides of the bowl. Scoop away all remaining polish from the water’s surface with the spatula (F). Do not remove the nail from (E) the bowl until all excess polish is removed. (A) (F) Step 2: STRIPE DESIGN Submerged the tip of the etching tool into the center ring and gently drag it to the side of the bowl (A). Wipe off polish that may have collected on the etching tool, onto the paper towel. (Do this after each stroke.) Create another stroke by dragging the etching tool in the other direction to the opposite side of the bowl as shown (B). (D) Vola! You did it! Clean-Up — Store polish by replacing the brush-caps with dropper-caps. Clean used capdroppers with cleaning swab dipped into nail polish remover. Discard table cape if stained or wet. Discard water. Store your tools. COMBUSTIBLE: Do not use or store near heat or open flame. (B) Create another set of stroke lines that cross the first pattern, starting at the bottom (C). Position the etching tool on the right side of the rings, then submerge the tip and drag polish to the left side of the bowl. Repeat this step dragging the tool from left-to-right, then, right-toleft. Repeat until you get to the top (D). Slowly remove the nail from the water. Wipe away any remaining polish from the spatula and etching tool onto the paper towel. Try these designs.
