Hi, I had some failures with water marbling before i got it down! :)
Firstly: If the polish is falling to the bottom, its because the drop of polish is hitting the water with too much force, it needs to drop pretty slowly and hold the brush very close to the surface of the water without touching it. Within 1cm of the surface.

Also, some polishes just don't spread well. Try using polishes which are NOT quick drying, and just have a go with different brands/colors. Also, if the first drop does not spread, just put the next drop (of the next colour) on top, then go back to the first colour etc. If you just keep adding polish it should eventually spread. :)
Hope you have better luck next time! its so much fun when it works!! :)
p.s i always use a disposable plastic cup or shot glass, just in case!

Heyya, When i do this nail art i use some tape to cover my finger so it is less messy, and once youve dropped your polish in the water you have to move the colours around quickly or else it will dry and will destry the image. Hope this helped. X.
