Pro Tips
Make sure to work quickly when creating the marbling effect, as the polish can dry fast in water.
Practice the marbling technique on a piece of paper or plastic before applying it to your nails.
Use quality nail polishes for better swirling results; thicker formulas work best for marbling.
Consider using a peel-off base coat to make clean-up easier after creating the marbled design.
