Marble Design!

Marble Design:
In this post, I will be showing you how to make do a marble design on your nails.

Materials Needed:

• Base color polish
• I usually use a white polish, but you can use whatever base polish color you want
• Regular Tape
• Cup/small bowl of room temperature water
• *Make sure you use an old cup/bowl or something that you won't use again or something that you through away. The polish will make a ring on the side of the container and you would have to use acetone to remove it and that is not healthy or good for your body*
• Nail Polish Remover
• Q-Tips
• Toothpick or something with a skinny point at the end
• Colorful polishes to make the marble designs with

How to:

1. Apply the base color. I usually use white for my base color, but you an use whatever color you want.
2. Let polish dry, and then get three pieces of tape.  Put one piece at the bed of your nail, one on the right side of your nail, and then one on the left of your nail.  Take the piece of tape on the left part of your finger and curve it around, so it covers your finger tip.
3. Once all fingers are covered, open all of the polish bottles so you are easily able to move from color to color to make the rings.
4. Take your first color and put it right above the surface of the water.  Let one drop slide off the brush and into the water, where it then disperses.  Repeat this step with all of the color until you have as many rings as you want.  
5. Take your toothpick and drag in the nail polish from the outside to the center, until you create a design to your liking.  
6. Once you like your design, place the nail into the water, and then leave it there for about 20 seconds.  Then take the q-tip and swirl it around your nail.  This picks up all the extra polish and leaves the polish on the nails alone.  
7. Take finger out of the water, and take tape of the finger carefully.  Use nail polish remover to get any polish that is on your skin, and then seal it in with a top coat, and your done!

*If you do not like the way the design came out onto your nail, you can always use nail polish to take it off and then re do it again.*
