Pastel Tie-dye Accent

Today I finally tried something I've been meaning to do for ages. My "to do" list just keeps getting bigger :)

Needle drag or needle marble manis as they are most often called, quite simply involve dragging a needle through still wet and goopy polish to create the blend of colours and the tie-dye effect. There are a few You Tube tutorials on this and I particularly like THIS one by Liquid Jelly, the pattern she created looks so amazing.

I generally like the way these look, they are easy to do and lets be honest, I completely suck at water marble manis so this is the closest I can get to it!



What do you guys think of needle marble manis?

    This is so cool! This is the first time I've heard of this technique, but I'm definitely going to put that on my list of things to try out. :)

    I love this Vanessa! I too am not very good at water marbling so I'll have to try this as a substitute! I love that you did skittles with the same colors as the marble too :)
