    I would suggest applying the blooming gel and add the color without marbling it yourself. Just place the color where you want and let it spread and marble in its own with no manipulation ❤

    Although I really love the nail, I don’t think you’re supposed to make so many lines yourself. I think the uniqueness of marbling comes from simple strokes and letting the blooming gel do 90% of the work.
    They came out super cute, but it doesn’t feel like marble. Feels more like a water color vibe.

      ​@@luvrere5962I have the beetles one and it actually works amazingly well. No strong odors, easy to work with. The 170 set had thin blooming gel same as beetles? They both bled as pretty much every blooming gel does. The biggest difference in the kits is the beetles set sent regular gel polish and the 170 sent basically jelly gel polish. I have regular and jelly, jelly almost always looks better for bright colors in blooming gel. So less a question of better or worse and more a question of what is your end goal, color wise.

    Remember when all of us were obsessed with eyeshadow palettes in 2015 and brands would release one after the other and we would all buy them? This reminds me of that. DVOK also came out with a december glitter series and honestly I think I have the same glitters from GlitterPlanet I can just dab on the nail in layers. It's the packaging that's beautiful but I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed with the amount of barely different color collections. I have a bunch of korean gels that have gone bad because I've bought too many collections and I can't use every color.. It's like the makeup palettes all over again, but now with nails. Don't get me wrong, we aren't forced to buy them but wow it sure is tempting!!
