How to Marble Nails

Giving nails the "marble effect" is a hot trend in the beauty world. I found a great post on Pinterest (where else?!) and had to share! I tried it out and loved it. I have tried it now with so many different colors that people are started to ask me to do theirs for them!

First paint your nail all over with a light, shimmery color. I use an off-white, cream-colored, or light pink shade and do a base coat before putting it on. Put a GOOD amount of lotion around the nail on the finger. This will help the nail polish to stay on the nail! Fill a bowl with water and have two bottles of nail polish open and ready. Add a drop of the first nail polish to the middle of the water in the bowl. Then add the second color immediately after. Keep repeating the process until you get a nice design going in the water bowl. Use a toothpick, needle, or pin and swirl the polish around until the design looks like you want it to look on your nail.

Soak a q tip in nail polish remover and rub the excess off of your hand. Let it dry and do the other nails after!
