How to cheat at simple swirls

Hi All,
Ok so I'm sure everyone has seen pictures of swirl polish nails and maybe you tryed it too. I tryed and it was to frustrating because it dryed to quickly, or smudged, or just took to long to dry. I'm a busy person and don't have an hour or two to play with my nails then have them get ruined.  So here is the serect way I came up with.
You'll need: plan acrylic nails ($1-$5), an artist kneaded eraser ($1 craft store), a fine tip eyeliner brush ( $1 dollar store), and a couple of your favorite nail polishes. I used Avon nailwear pro+ berry smooth, viva pink, and smooth beginnings as a top coat.

STEP 1
From your eraser into a base, you can reform it as much as you want along the way, and put the first nail onthe base. The eraser will stick to the nail.

STEP 2
Choose your base color, this color will be more prominent.  Apply base color to the acrylic nail like you would to your own nail.

STEP 3
Use eyeliner brush and make 3 dots of your secondary color on top of wet base color, then swirl the secondary color around  the nail. It will look bumpy and that's ok.

STEP 4
Apply your top coat while the nail is still wet and then let it completely dry ( 5-10 minutes).

STEP 5
You can now remove the nail and repeat for the rest of the nails. Then attach the finished acrylics to clean dry nails with nail glue or ultra tabs ($3 at Wal-Mart)

P.S.
If you get more the one eraser you can do multiple nails at the same time.
