This season, blame it on Instagram or Pinterest, the marble effect is not just for floors anymore. The marble effect has made its way into everything from the phone case to even nails.
This latest manicure trend is absolutely gorgeous and, clean for spring and it’s creating quite the buzz in the digital space! Choose from marbling the entire nail to a negative space effect and even just marbling on the tips of the nails.
With a range of colours you can combine, the combinations are endless.
Steps to achieve this look?
1. To get the classic white and grey marble look, apply one or two coats of white as the base coat.
2. Add tiny dots of black or grey nail
polish which would appear as the marble on top. You may try quiggly lines with acrylic paint for a similar effect.
3. Also add tiny dots of the white you put on your nails on top of the previous dots
Using a detail brush, swirl around the colours into an organic free form shape. You can go over the squiggly lines by
dipping the brush in thinner or alcohol to
create a blurred look.
4. Finish off by adding your favourite top coat.
It’s worth trying the water marble nail art design,which is another popular trend because the patterns are all so unique and pretty. You can never find one pattern which is the same as the other.
