Marble manicure

It turns out that the magnificent drawings on the nails can be created in the absence of artistic talent. One of these techniques is the implementation of a marble pattern that looks great in any color. On how to make a marble manicure with the help of available tools at home, we will tell in the article.

First, let's see what is the marble design of nails. The photo shows that the coating is very similar to marble stone, which trim the facades, floors and other elements of the structure. The peculiarity of this pattern is that the colors seem to be mixed, but not mixed with each other, as in ombr. How to recreate such a pattern, and even do it yourself? It seems unreal, although in reality it is not difficult at all.

Successful color combinations

The selection of varnishes for manicure is a purely individual matter. Each girl chooses certain colors depending on her mood or the nature of the event, for which she is engaged in the design of nails. Marble manicure looks best when using the following colors:

• Black and white;
• Pink and white;
• Yellow and blue;
• Purple and red.

Also popular are triple combinations:

• Black - white - red;
• Yellow - pink - blue;
• White - purple - black;
• Any three colors that stand side by side in color, for example: burgundy - red - pink, dark green - green - lime, etc.

Water for marble manicure

The main auxiliary element that will be needed to perform a marble manicure at home is water. That it allows you to mix paint in such a way as to obtain an abstract pattern. Consider step by step how to do it yourself.

Training

To begin, we will prepare everything that is needed so as not to be distracted while working.

1. A wide plate with warm water;
2. Several varnishes of your favorite colors;
3. Fatty cream, petroleum jelly or scotch;
4. A simple pencil or a long skewer;
5. Nail polish remover;
6. Cotton swabs and wheels.

To make a marble manicure on the water, it will take a lot of time and a lot of varnish. So be prepared for this. Give yourself at least one and a half hours of free time, please be patient. Vials with varnishes must be half filled. If there are residues in the bubble, then they may not be enough for any finger. Although, if you plan to make a colorful marble design, then there are no problems.

Phased instruction

To begin with, we will determine the number of colors. Two or three varnishes will be enough.

1. Open the vials, leaving the caps inside.
2. In turn, drip each varnish into the center of the vessel with water. The drop will begin to diverge, forming a film in the form of a circle on the surface of the water.
3. You can stop dripping at any time when you see that multicoloredness is enough. Usually it is only 12-15 drops.
4. We grease the tip of the skewers with a fat cream and begin to drive them along the surface of the water, creating a drawing (flower, waves, etc.).
5. Now you need to prepare the nail for the application of the pattern. To do this, gently lubricate the area around the nail with cream or petroleum jelly so that the nail plate itself remains untouched. If you hit the cream on it, remove it with a cotton swab dipped in a nail polish remover. The second way to protect the finger: wrap it with tape, leaving the nail open.
6. Dip your finger in the water so that the film lies on the nail. Surplus we remove the skewer or the tip of a simple pencil.

Water marble manicure ready. The problem is that all these manipulations were done for one nail, and you have 10 of them. That's why you need a lot of time and patience. Attention: Do not forget to change the skewers as they are contaminated with varnish. Otherwise, you can spoil the new film formed on the water.

Marble design with package

This is the second way to perform original nail design with a marble pattern. True, the picture is slightly different, but perhaps someone will like this particular option. If the water gives a marble pattern with lines, then a marble manicure with the help of a package is spotted or dotted. Unlike water design, it does not require much time and additional devices, except for the package itself.

What do you need

• Two varnishes in contrasting colors and a transparent fixative;
• A piece of plastic bag or cling film;
• Cotton swabs and nail polish remover.

Execution scheme

1. We paint the nails with some kind of varnish, this will be the basis and wait 10 minutes for it to dry;
2. We crush a small piece of film. about 5 to 5 cm;
3. We paint one nail with another lacquer and immediately, without hesitating for a second, dab the layer with a piece of crumpled package with jerky movements. Part of the varnish will be smeared, but we need it. Gaze partially opens the same color that we chose as the main one;
4. Marble manicure ready. It remains only to remove the excess varnish from the skin of the fingers with a cotton swab and fix the design with a transparent fixative.

Marble design, made on the water, and so it will be long enough to hold, because the layer, thanks to the water turns out very thin and adheres well to the nail plate. But if you want even greater reliability, you can make a marble manicure gel varnish, not forgetting to polymerize each nail in the LED-lamp. Similarly, you can use gel polish and for nail design with the help of a package: the first base layer should be polymerized in the lamp, and then film strips should be polymerized.

But there is another way. Stroll through the cosmetic shops on the shelves where you can find ready-made marble varnish, for example, the Chanel brand has long since been producing marble varnishes. You will spend not a small amount for a bottle of marble varnish, but believe the finished design on your nails will make you forget about the price of the tool!
