MARBLE NAIL ART// CHINESE VOGUE MAGAZINE




"Today we`ve got a pretty nifty DIY. ‘Marble nails` in any color combination you wish! The second we saw how to do this online, we immediately went about to collect the materials needed, so we could sit down and try it out ourselves and share it with you guys. There are quite a few items needed, though very easy to get, and also quite a lot of time needed, but also a great way to spend time with your girlfriends! The best parts are, every nail is unique, and your polish/artwork (well of course, it`s like so totally crafty!) dries almost instantly… so how to do it?

Look at our pictures for steps!
You will need:
A disposable cup (will ruin) filled with water, a disposable stick of some sort, 3 nail polish colors (get wacky!), and some scotch tape.
1.  Paint your nails white, or a very pale color first, that way the marble colors will pop more.
2.  Tape around your finger right under your nail.

3. Then tape over your finger above your nail, like a little hat. (Total 2 pieces of tape). You need to do this on each finger to protect your skin from getting ‘marbleized`.
4.  Pick your 3 polish colors, and dip a drop of each onto the surface of the water (must touch, don`t let it drop from above, the polish droplet will just sink).



Here you can get creative and place them wherever you like close to each other.
 5. Take your stick and start swirling the colors together immediately (or else the polish will dry)

 After, chose a spot where you this it`s the most interesting and slowly dip your finger flat onto it, then follow through, till your finger is fully in the water.
7. Lastly, take your stick and scoop of the remaining nail polish !
                                       
                                          
Now rip your tape off! and see your new marble nail! pretty cool, huh?"
