1
Prepare your nails.
- File and shape your nails to the desired length.
- Gently push back your cuticles and apply cuticle remover if necessary.
- Buff the surface of your nails for better polish adhesion.
2
Apply the base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails.
- Allow it to dry completely before moving on.
3
Create the marble effect.
- Apply a layer of lavender polish on all nails and let it dry.
- On a non-stick surface, drop small amounts of lavender and white polish next to each other.
- Using a marbleizing tool or thin brush, swirl the two colors together and apply to the nails in a tapping motion.

Add the glitter gradient.
- Take a sponge and dip it into glitter polish.

Finish with the top coat.
- Once everything is dry, apply a top coat to seal the design.
- Allow it to dry completely, ensuring a smooth finish.
6
Clean up.
- Use a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover to clean any excess polish around the nails.
- Wipe down the nails gently to ensure they are clean and neat.
Pro Tips
Make sure to let each layer dry before applying the next to prevent smudging.
Use a top coat to protect the design and enhance its shine.
If you want more control while marbleizing, use a thin brush instead of a tool.
Experiment with different shades of glitter to customize the look.
Practice the sponge technique on a piece of paper to gain confidence.
