Nail Marbling!

Have you heard of Nail Marbling before? If you haven't, or even if you have and want to know more about it, keep reading and you'll leave this post a Nail Marbling "expert"!

First of all, what is Nail Marbling?

It's a nail art technique that combines water and nail polish to create marble-like designs. These designs can either be random and abstract, like the ones you will see in the pictures below, or specific - if you're a "pro".

Whatever the designs are, they always provide a stunning result, leaving everyone wondering, how you could have done this manicure all by your self.

What you need to create a Nail Marble design on your own, you most probably already have at home:

A (plastic) container: preferably one that you don't need, because after you use it for this technique, it won't be reusable, unless you want to water marble again.

Tap or mineralised water: in room temperature.

A toothpick: or any other pointy tool.

2-4 nail polishes: any colors and combinations you like best.

Base coat: to protect your nails.

Topcoat: to seal in your design.

Nail polish remover and cotton pads or q-tips: because it's gonna get messy, for sure.

To save your self from a very long clean up afterwards you can use either

Duct tape

or Chap stick.

Another thing you will definitely need, if you're gonna use this technique, is time. It will take you around 20 to 50 minutes for the whole process.

If it's your first time, you will also need some patience, because there's always something that won't work properly. Experiment with different types of water and also different nail polishes, to see which work best for you.

Now you know the basics about Nail Marbling and what you need to create designs using this technique. Now it's time for you to learn how it's done.

The video linked below will show you everything left for you to know. You will see a step by step tutorial of the Nail Marbling technique. It also includes all the tips you need to know, to achieve perfect results.

Nail Marbling takes some practice until you master it, but the result is always worth the trouble!

Have fun creating your own unique designs!
