How to Create a Marble Nail Effect Using Water

Marbling is a simple and beautiful way to update your nails. This can make your outfit so much more sophisticated! Follow this tutorial to learn how to create some fabulous nail art!

Step 1 :

Prepare tha equipment you'll need:

A container filled with water (preferably bottled water), Nail polish remover,

Tissues, Sticky tape, Nail polishes of your choice , Base coat, Top coat, Tooth picks,

Cotton swabs, Scissors, An old towel **OPTIONAL** Fast-drying nail spray

Step 2 :

Paint your nails with a clear base coat. Spray with fast-drying spray if you want.

Step 3 :

Paint your nails with the white nail varnish. I recommend 2 coats.

Step 4 :

Put sticky tape around your skin and cuticles. Be sure that the tape dosent touch the nail. If the tape is covering the nail, it will ruin the effect, because some parts will be white .

Step 5 :

Add the nail varnish to the cup. Put some nail varnish on the brush. Hold it 1 cm above the centre of the waters edge. Gently tap the handle of the brush until the varnish drips into the water. Add a second colour in the same way into true middle of fat colour. Carry on the pattern in this way.

Step 6 :

Using a tooth pick, stir the clear water surrounding the circle of nail varnish. Thus will make the nail varnish ring expand. Make sure the toothpick DOES NOT TOUCH the nail varnish itself, only the clear water.

Step 7 :

Place the toothpick on the water, from about the 3rd ring out. Drag the toothpick inwards, towards the centre of the nail varnish. Continue in this way in order to make a flower pattern.

Step 8 :

Dip your finger on the water (where the nail varnish pattern is) at a 45 degree angle.

Step 9 :

Keep your finger in the water, and use a clean toothpick to roll around the un-used nail varnish to pick it up. Then, take your finger out of the water. Be sure not to smudge the design whilst doing this.
