Marble Nails!

I'm always looking for new ways to 'jazz' up my nails. Marble nails is a technique I have attempted many times and never been able to master. But finally a few days ago, I managed to figure out how to do it properly and easily!  So I thought I would share ' the way of the marble nail' with you all.

 - You will need:
- Glass of water
- Cotton Buds
- Cotton Pads/Tissue
- Nail Polish Remover
- Chosen colours of nail polish











- Apply a light coloured base coat.


- Drop in one of the chosen colours of nail polish.












- Add different colours. Keep the drops of nail polish close together.










-Cut in half a cotton bud, and use the end without the cotton on, to pull the colours together and create a pattern of your personal choice. You can create so many different patterns with the polish, so just find a pattern which works for you!









- Slowly put your nail into the water. Place it on the area you want the pattern on your finger to be.

- Then take the other end of the cotton bud, and swirl in the water around your finger, to get rid of the excess nail polish.







- Remove the nail from the water slowly.


- Use the nail polish remover and cotton pads to remove the excess nail polish on the finger, then use a cotton bud, to remove the nail polish closer to the nail so you get a clean finish.








- Clean the edges up as much as you can, then apply a clear top coat to protect the nail polish from chipping easily.

- Repeat the process for all nails, or only do one nail as a 'statement nail'.  You can use lots of different colours, but I chose only 2 colours so it was a subtle effect.




Hope this has helped anyone wanting to achieve the Marble Nails look. If you have any questions, or need any advice, then leave a comment below and I will reply as soon as possible!
