I've used tap water before, and I usually cut the bottom of a water bottle and use that. Also I've seen some tutorials where there apply tape around the nails so it doesn't get so messy.

best advice would be to keep trying, you will get better each time!
and as you noticed not every polish works, you will want to use slow-drying polish, otherwise the polish will dry on the surface before you start creating your design.
it's always a play of trial-and-error :(

oh and keep the water close to room temperature

maybe the beauties here can list their favorite brands for watermarbling :)

I would start by saying China Glaze
