If you’re already over geode nails and are searching for the next big nail trend to obsess over, look no further. A few days ago I came across another nail craze that will make your fingers look gorgeous. Marble nails are the newest manicure trend taking the Instagram by storm.
The best thing is that this sexy and sleek nail trend is unbelievably easy to execute at home. Don’t believe me? The marble nail design may seem difficult, but I promise: if you follow the steps of the tutorial below, you can quickly learn how to create your own marble nails.
Marble Nails Tutorial
To achieve this polished look at home, simply slick on one or two layers of a white polish across the entire nail bed. Then take some foil and put black and white acrylic paints on it and drip some water. Now use your thin brush or a toothpick to mix these colors and create grey. The next step is to draw asymmetric lines on the nail to make it look like a marble stone. You ought to make some different shades of grey, so that the pattern looks natural and spontaneous. Now use a white nail polish and cover the whole nail with it. This way you make lines fade a bit, so your nail does look like a marble. You can continue drawing, as the coat dries. It looks really nice if you draw new lines close to old, faded ones. Again, use more shades of grey to variegate it. When you are done and all the paint has dried, cover each nail with a transparent top coat. Easy enough, right.
