I love the marbelling look. Here are 2 examples I've done recently and a tutorial I made to help others.
1. Choose your colours, I've gone for Asphalt, Cityscape and Silver VIP on the tutorial.
2. Apply 2 coats of base colour. DO NOT CURE second layer. It's best to work on 2 nails at a time so that the polish solvents don't start to evaporate.
3. Apply a stripe of Cityscape and Silver VIP Status to one half of the nail.
4. Decant some Silver VIP on to a tile and run your striping brush through it.
5. Pull your striping brush through the silver VIP, into the cityscape then into the asphalt. Carry on until you get your desired effect, occasionally wiping off the striping brush and loading up again with Silver VIP. Don't over work it you want to just pull through the colours not mix them as that could cause curing issues
6. Carry on with the rest of the hand, cure for 2 minutes and top coat as usual.
I hope that helps xx
You are such an inspiration!!! I've done this a lot from when you posted it on another thread - such a cool design!!!!
It's great changing the colours around - one of my faves is Blackpool, Wildfire and Ice Vapor! xx

That's fab how did u do that I love it ... 😄
Hey thanks, I did base, cure, first colour coat (white), cure, second colour coat, dabbed on spots of colour, gently swirled through with a dotting tool, cure, top coat, swipe.
I call this wet on wet
(Just because the art is swirled whilst wet on a wet base)

Need to order some more colours then I'll have to have another experiment ... Somehow I don't think they'll look anywhere like yours 😕
