How to Create Marbled Nail Art

Marbled nail art creates a sophisticated and intricate design that mimics the look of marble. Start with a base coat and your desired background color. In a cup of room temperature water, drop different nail polish colors one at a time to create a bullseye pattern. Use a toothpick to swirl the colors gently. Dip your nail into the water, capturing the design on your nail. Clean up the edges and finish with a top coat. This technique, when done with the precision of Russian manicures, results in stunning and unique designs.

Materials Needed:

  • Base coat and top coat

  • Nail polish in multiple colors

  • Cup of room temperature water
