| Marbled Nails! |
Nails have become the new canvas for many creative people. After seeing Jenny's Water Marble Nail Art Tutorial, I knew that I had to try out these marbleized gems.
Create your own Marbled Nails by following the picture tutorial below. This a good one to try with a friend when you have a free afternoon, as it does take some time. (I found Jenny's Video Tutorial very useful to watch before starting.)
Enjoy your one of a kind nails, and please share pictures with me!
Can't wait to see your creations,
Margo Isadora

| Gather supplies... -Nail Polish (as many as you like) (be sure to have a light base coat) -Scotch Tape -Toothpicks -A small container of room temperature water |
 |
| -Paint a clear base coat & two layers of a light base polish -Then tape the skin around each of your nails to avoid some of the mess later (I used 2 pieces of tape per finger) Once all your nails are coated and taped, you're ready to marbleize! |
 |
| -Shake brush gently above the water (DO NOT let the brush touch the water) *Note: time is of the essence here... the quicker you drip, the longer you will have to swirl and dip! |
 |
| -A perfect DRIP and Spread |
 |
| -Swirl quickly with a toothpick after you drip (avoid letting the paint dry so much that it clings to the toothpick, as it did in this one) |
 |
| - Dip every nail into a swirl! (I was going for an abstract swirl, so I worked quickly and used one drip swirl bowl for an entire hand. 2 bowls total) (If you want a more exact swirl, clean water with toothpick to remove all of the paint and repeat drip process for every nail) |
