As Promised, Step by step pics for Pink marbelled nails

[ladybgemini]

I hope that you can make sense of the pictures.

step one - Paint tips with Bright Pink Polish

Step Two - Place drops of same Pink, white and then Pink again (on top of white) into water and marble with cocktail stick or pin.

Step 3 - Slide tips into water, tip side down. Do Not Remove. (Note, I did put them in the other way up too by mistake but this also worked)

Step 4 - Remove polish on top of water with orangewood Stick. By this time it has set.

Step 5 - Remove Nails from Water.

One thing I noticed was on one set I placed the tip into the water and it created a hole around the tip, allowing me to remove the tip without removing the polish. Needless to say the floating polish was no good after.
the time that had passed.

This was my 2nd attempt at it. if it doesnt work first time, keep at it, its great fun to do.

Enjoy!!

This looks fun - I'll try this.
Just a few additional questions

Is it hot, warm or cold water you are using?
How would you do it on "real" nails?

Thanks for sharing

I tried this last year after seeing it done in the States but I just ended up with mess all over the clients fingers!
It does look beautiful though!

Fantastic step by step! I had a go at this and it wasn't as succesful as yours! :cry: May I ask, how many drops of polish did you put in each time? Maybe I wasn't using enough.

oooh vaseline around finger first - i'll have to try that! as said previously i've done this on tips like you and looks fab but when i've tried it on myself it's just one big mess!!

i use a smaller pot tho (like a disposable shot glass size pot) and find u use less polish that way and still get a good result xx

For the first pink drops I used about 5-6 drops, each drop kind of thins out quite a lot so 5-6 drops you get a nice deeper colour. The I added 1-2 drops of white and one pink in the middle of each of the white.
