Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare the nails for painting.
- File and shape the nails to your desired length.
- Buff the surface of the nails for smoothness.
- Push back the cuticles gently.
2
Apply a base coat.
- Brush a thin layer of base coat on all nails.
- Allow the base coat to dry completely.
3
Create the marbled effect.
- Drop small amounts of dark red polish and red polish into a small dish of water.
- Use a dotting tool to swirl the colors together to create a marbled effect.
- Dip each nail into the water, ensuring the marbled design adheres to the nail.
4
Add glitter accents.
- Apply a layer of gold glitter polish at the cuticle area and gradually blend it downwards.
- Repeat this on each nail, varying the amount for a unique look.
5
Finish with a top coat.
- Apply a generous layer of top coat over each nail.
- Allow the top coat to dry completely to secure the design.
Pro Tips
For a more controlled marbling effect, practice on a piece of plastic first.
Use a small brush to clean up any excess polish around the cuticles before the top coat.
Let each layer dry properly to prevent smudging when applying subsequent layers.
