Marbelising:

Simple and get random effects!

1. Apply a dot of one color.

2. Use a clean toothpick to apply a dot of another color on top of the first dot while the first dot is still wet.
3.Use a clean toothpick, striper brush, or other implement to drag the colors outward together, or to swirl the dots together. You can also create a marble effect by randomly placing several dots of one color on the nail, then placing several dots of another color around and on top of the first set of dots, and finally swirling the dots around and together by moving your implement in a criss-cross, S-shaped, or figure 8 pattern.

Water Marbelising:

1. Fill a shallow, wide-mouthed cup or bowl about 90% full with water.

2. Add desired colors of paint to the water. Have your paints open and ready to go, as they will harden quickly on the surface of the water. Drop a drop or two of the colors you want to use on top of the water. A high-quality nail polish works best for this method.

3. Create the marbled design in the water. Repeatedly drag a pin or toothpick through the surface of the water, causing the paints to coat the surface with the pattern of marbling you desire.

4. Dip your nail into the water. Lay your nail face down on the surface of the water and slowly push it beneath the surface. Use a cotton swab to remove the excess polish from the surface while your nail is still submerged in the water.

5.Remove nail from water and use a cotton swab (with acetone if necessary), to clean up the edges and remove polish from the finger.
