You'll need black and orange polish. I used Pure Ice 'Drive me crazy' (orange) & Sinful Colors 'black on black'. Vaseline, a toothpick, and a small glass of water. Warm water or room temp works best, cold will dry your polish quickly.
Start by applying your clear base coat, and the lighter color (or the color you wish to stand out more). Make sure your polishes are open and ready to go, when you start dropping you polish into the water you'll want to go fairly quickly so your polish won't dry before you're ready.
I like to start by rubbing Vaseline around my finger (careful to keep it off your nails) this will help clean the polish up off your skin once you're finished. Some people like to use tape, but I could never get it to work for me.
Then with orange add drops into the water allowing them time to expand in the glass, do this until they no longer expand or you have the desired amount of rings.
Anchor your polish to the glass (This means using the toothpick and pulling the polish from the middle to the side of the glass. A lot of people skip this step and the polish ends up moving in a way they didn't want it to. (This is image 4))
Next create the design you would like, I personally just like playing around with it. And this polish works really well together, it stays wet for a long time.
Once you have your design dip your finger in then use your toothpick to remove the excess.
Remove your finger (picture 7, you see how messy it is) use a q-tip to clean up the mess (if you used Vaseline it should clean right up.
And your all done :)
