water marbling nail art anyone?

Does anyone else do this? I watched some tutorials on you tube and it looks awesome but I've had limited success so far as the nail varnishes I'm using seem too thick and I have trouble getting drops of them off the brush and into the water. Can anyone recommend any particular brand that I may have more luck with?

    I had no idea this even existed but just had a look at the youtube videos. I've not done this before but I think you'd need a fairly runny varnish, so anything more expensive probably won't come off the brush very easily. I've got an NYC varnish which I bought from Superdrug, this is fairly runny so you could give that make a try - I think it was about £3.50. Collection 2000 varnishes are also quite runny.

    Thanks, it is probably a good idea to get runny ones. Had another go last night and it worked slightly better than the day before. I'm really going to enjoy perfecting this technique. :)
