Apply the base coat.
- Apply a thin layer of base coat and let it dry completely.

Paint the base color.
- Apply two coats of nude nail polish, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly.
- Then, apply a light pink nail polish over the nude layer, focusing on creating a marbled effect.

Create the marbling effect.
- Using a fine brush, swirl the light pink polish over the nude base while it is still wet to create a marbled look.
- Allow the design to dry completely.

Add golden lines.

Pro Tips
For a more intricate marbling effect, try using a water marbling technique.
Practice your line work on a piece of paper before applying on your nails to gain confidence.
Ensure each layer is completely dry to avoid smudging the design.
Using a matte topcoat can give a unique twist to your design if you prefer less shine.
