DIY: Easy Marbling Nails!



Hey everyone!


I havent blogged in forever (I'm so sorry!), my camera died and I havent been able to find any new batteries, but I think my dad finally found some! These pics are shot with an iPhone so the quality is not the best, but I hope you get the idea of how to do these cool nails!
So, a couple weeks ago I found this really  cool way to change up your nail polish super easy!

Today I finally tryed it out and thought I should to a tutorial on it. You can totally do this with all your nails if you want, I just didnt have the time so I only did my ringfinger as an accent nail.

The things you will need:

Minimun 2 differnt nailpolishes

A plastic container with water in it
A needle - or something else shap
  
Cotton pads - to remove the remove rest of the nailpolish


Tape - To avoid getting nailpolish all over your finger



STEP 1
 
Find all the things you'll need. It will make the result way prettier and so much more easy not to mess it up, trust me, I did that the first time I tryed.. Well lets say it did'nt look so good.




STEP 2


 
Choose one of your nail polishes and let it drop in the water.
The polish is going to spread a part - I found that it will only work with thin nail polish. If you use a thicker polish it will not spread - it will just stay.

Keep dropping nail polish in the water on top of the drops your already have, and continue doing that until you have a good amount of nail polish.







And at a point it should look like this.






STEP 3







Find your needle and start dragging
the colours together to create
the marbling effect.








Soon you will see the pattern form.











STEP 4 


 
Dip your finger in the polish and hold it in for about 10 sec. 
Then, with your other hand, 
take a the cotton pad and 
remove the polish around your finger. 

If you skip this step it will ruin the pattern. 








STEP 5


 



Carefully, lift your finger from
the water and see the result!


Wait 5 min. for it to dry, 
and remove the tape!

If there is nail polish on your finger go ahead and remove it wth some nail polish remover.  









I really hope you enjoyed this little tutorial, trust me - I have a lot more on the way!



XOXO,
