In this tutorial I make 3 AWESOME blacklight reactive phone cases with water marble nail polish! They look super cool! You can do this with any phone case (Android, Apple, Samsung Galaxy S7, iphone 7, etc). This is mostly used for nail art but I thought I’d try something new! Also I was having way too much fun making cool patterns in the water with nail polish, haha. I hope you guys like it!

How to make a unique water marble phone case:
What you need:
• You’ll need a bowl of water, toothpicks, Qtips, paper towels, nail polish remover, and nail polish. But be careful, not all nail polish works for this technique. The brands I used were Sally Hansen, China Glaze, Ice, and Salon Perfect. You need to have nail polish that spreads on top of the water. I would suggest bringing a cup of water to the store so you can test out the polishes to make sure they work before you buy them.
• You’ll also need spray paint. White and clear. I used Rustoleum.
• And of course, you need a phone case. It can be any color, it doesn’t matter. I bought mine for $5.
Step 1:
• First, you need to spray paint the case white. This is so that the colors show up and so that the nail polish sticks to the phone case.
• This is what happens if you don’t spray paint it first.
• Once you’re done painting, set it aside to let dry.
• While it’s drying, you can get the rest of your stuff ready.
• Fill a bowl with room temperate water. Make sure it’s big enough to fit your phone case.
• Have toothpicks, Qtips, and nail polish remover next to the bowl.
• Get out all the colors of nail polish you want to use, and unscrew the caps of all of them. Do this because you need to be able to use them quickly.
Step 2:
• Take a nail polish brush and get a good amount of nail polish on it, then put a drop onto the water. It should spread out into a big circle.
• Then quickly do it again with the rest of the colors you want to use. You have to be fast because the nail polish will dry. Don’t do more than about 6 colors at once. Take a toothpick and drag it though the colors to make a design! There are many different ways you can do this. Experiment and see what you think looks cool! If you mess up or you don’t like how it turned out, that’s fine. Just use a Qtip or a piece of paper to clear away all of the nail polish, and then you can start over.
• Once you have a design you like, continue dropping nail polish and making designs until you have filled up a big enough area to cover the whole phone case. It needs to be bigger than the case so that there is enough to cover the sides, too!
Step 3:
• When you’ve made a big enough area, you can dip the phone case.
• Make sure it has been at least 30 minutes since you spray painted the case. You want to make sure that the paint isn’t wet, but it’s ok if it’s a little sticky.
• Try to touch the part you painted as little as possible. Carefully drop the case onto your design. Then push it all the way down so that the design covers the sides of the case.
• Now use a Qtip to clean up as much excess nail polish as you can. Make sure the edges of the design stick to the case.
• Then, use 2 Qtips to carefully get the phone case out of the water.
• Try not to touch the design!
• Dip a Qtip into nail polish remover, then use it to clean up the edges.
• Set down the case and let it dry.
Step 4:
• Once there is no more water on it, spray paint a layer of clear on top so that the nail polish will stay on.
• Let it dry overnight, and then its finished!
