NOTD: Ocean Waves Marble

Well, here we go, I think my favorite of my 3 water marbles this week.  An early contender for my top 20 of 2010 =) 

I used the same design technique as I demonstrate in THIS tutorial, but the colors I used for this version are holos from the China Glaze OMG collection, DV8 (teal) & L8R G8R (green).  For my base color I used Color Club French Tip, which is just a basic white that is nice because it is practically opaque in one coat.  I swirled the colors clockwise for one hand, and counterclockwise on the other:





 



This reminds me of ocean waves, very peaceful =)  I also did just a quick test with Matte Magic before I took it off, on the ring & pinky fingers:



So, what do you think - which of this week's marbles was your favorite?  Leave a comment or drop an email & let me know =)  Thanks for reading.
