Marbling

Today I wanted to use nail polish for its true purpose...painting nails. I found out about this marbling technique late last night and couldn't wait to try it out!

I chose these colors because they match how I'm dressed today.

To get the marbled effect, you apply a base coat of the lightest color to your nails. Then, you add a drop of each color to a cup of water one inside the other to form rings. Once the rings are formed you run a pick through them in order to form a design, like below.


(sorry about the quality...my fingers were covered in vaseline and I couldn't mess with the settings)


Simply dip your nails into the water, pull away the surface polish with a tooth pick, and VOILE! You've created a cool design on your nails!

It's so easy, I may never painting my nails a solid color again!
