MARBEL NAILS

I used to do this back in high school and recently rediscovered it !

You will need:

  • a container filled with room temp. water
  • 3-4 of you favorite nail polishes
  • a tooth pick or a similar tool
  • Vaseline or tape
  • nail polish remover
  • cotton buds



1. Lay out everything in front of you for easy access

2. Pick a colour as bottom coat, paint all nails and let dry
3. Allocate a finger (you may choose all) to marble
4. Vaseline or tape around nail of allocated finger/s


5. Prepare nail polishes you wish to use to marble by dropping droplets of them into the water, alternating the colours

6. Once about 10 'rings' have formed pull Polish into a design using the pick

7. Holding finger parallel to water dip nail through the design into the water
8. Do not pull finger out ( excess paint will come with the finger) using the cotton swab, wipe all excess paint around the finger

9. Remove finger
10. Dip cotton swab in remover, and remove excess polish off the finger

11. Apply a thin top coat
Tip: Paint your allocated finger white for the marble colours/pattern really pop !
Note:  This wont work with all polishes !
