Supplies needed are the same as my last post, though of course use whatever color nail polish you want. I'm not going to re-post the supplies here. As a tip, though, use thinner nail polish that easily drips off the brush because you need to work very quickly when doing the marbling.
Step 1: Fill your disposable cup with water
Step 2: Cover your finger in Vaseline
Step 3: Drip nail polish into the water, one color at a time
Step 4: Keep dripping in nail polish until you like the color scheme
Step 5: Take a toothpick or sewing needle and make your marble design
Step 6: Pick a spot to stick your nail in
Step 7: Put your finger in directly vertical, so the surface of the water/polish comes to your first knuckle
Step 8: Wait a minute or so for the surface polish to set, then clean it up with a Q-tip
Step 9: Take your finger out
Step 10: Clean nail polish off your skin with a clean Q-tip before it dries
Step 11: Wait for nail polish to dry, and use a top coat to seal in the design
And you're done!
It's much easier than it looks to get a great looking marbled design, just a little messy. Sorry it's hard to see the colors that I used in these pictures. I used orange, gold, and a clear glitter polish. It looks prettier in real life.
