Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails.
- File and shape the nails to your desired length and form.
- Buff the surface of the nails to create a smooth base.
- Apply a layer of base coat and let it dry completely.
2
Create the marbling effect.
- Apply 2-3 coats of mint green nail polish on each nail, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next.
- On a silicone mat or in a small dish, drop a few drops of white polish.
- Using a water or sponge, swirl the white polish into the mint green polish to create a marbled effect, then apply it to the nails.
3
Add gold foil and embellishments.
- Use tweezers to pick up small pieces of gold foil and apply them gently onto the wet nail polish.
- For the white embellishments, use a dotting tool to place small dots of white polish where desired.
- Allow all elements to dry completely.
4
Finish the design.
- Apply a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
- Use a clean-up brush dipped in acetone to tidy up around the cuticles and edges if needed.
- Let the nails dry completely before using your hands normally.
Pro Tips
Be patient when applying multiple layers; allow each layer to dry for best results.
Practice swirling the colors on a mat before applying to the nails for more control.
Consider using nail tape to create clean edges while applying the gold foil.
Use a light touch when placing the gold foil to avoid disturbing the marbling.
