STEP 4Raise and lower the egg to continue to cover the egg with nail polish.
- **NOTES of Caution:The nail polish will quickly adhere to the plastic cup(s) and begin to "eat away" and cause a hole to form... therefore it is necessary to periodically change cups/water out during this process.
- I found it helpful to replace the used water with fresh water after each couple of eggs... the nail polish seems to disperse/spread out better in fresh water... and this helps to give a better marbled effect.
- The more nail polish that is added to the fresh water, the darker the marbled effect will be.
- Use only *ROOM TEMPERATURE* water for this project. If the water is too cool or warm, it will cause the nail polish to sink to the bottom of the water/cup. It is important for the nail polish to "float" at the top of the water for proper marbling effect to be achieved.

Your eggs look great, so pretty! A few days ago I was about to toss all my old nail polish, (I have lots of fun colors of polish from my years working in daycare, the kids loved colorful nails) When I opened the cabinet where my polish is I suddenly remembered that I could use it for egg dying so am very glad to find your post this morning, thanks for sharing!
