Pro Tips
Always allow each layer of polish to dry completely before applying the next.
If you're not comfortable with freehand marbling, consider using tape to outline designs.
Use a light touch when applying glitter to avoid overwhelming the design.
For a smoother marbling effect, practice on a nail wheel before your final application.
