Steps to create marble effect manicure
If we like to decorate certain corners and parts of the house with marble, imagine seeing that flash of color and elegant combinations, also on the nails. Well, starting today, you can have it in a simple way.
- Before starting to do our marble effect manicure, we always have to pay special attention to nails. We cannot go directly to paint them. Before that, we need to cut and file them, equally and take care of them. To do this, we can do it the same day as the manicure or perhaps the night before. Remember to apply a base that will give you more strength and prevent breakage, when we least expect it.
- To start with our glitter manicure and luxury, we will start by choosing two shades of the same color. For example, we can use two shades of gray. One a little darker than the other. Of course, this will always be based on your tastes. Sometimes we can combine two totally opposite colors. Although to achieve the marble effect, one of them has to be gray or black. So, you need one color as a base and another to make the effect we are looking for.
- With the base color, we will paint all the nails or the ones we want to have this effect. We will pass a layer of the chosen enamel and let it dry completely.
- When the color is dry, then we will have to go on to make our marble effect, proper. We can do it in two ways. On the one hand, you can choose a sponge, apply a little polish on it and dab on the nail. On the other hand, you can take a piece of plastic wrap and paint it with the enamel.
- Now we will pass the paper through the nails. It does not have to be perfect, in fact, it is intended that the nail polish be distributed as possible. What we are looking for are those asymmetrical lines that will form the marble effect.
- Before moving on to the next step, we need the nails to dry well. Finally what we can do is apply a clear enamel coat but in mate. In this way, our nails will look like a stone. Of course, if you want a bit of shine, go for this finish for your final coat. Of course, for the most professional manicures, you can always apply irregular lines in a color such as silver or gold.
Marble effect manicure styles
As we mentioned before, a little above, there are several styles that we can find. One of the most common is paint all nails equally. Without a doubt, it is always the most recurring option. Of course it is not the only one. We also have the option of just painting one nail of each hand with this effect. The rest we can leave it smooth but always in the tones that we have painted the marble.
For the most daring, we will again look for very bright colors. As a base nail polish, nothing like a grayish green or blue. To finish off those marbled lines, nothing like nail polish in black, dark gray, or even navy blue. What do you think of this idea of the marble effect manicure? You've tried?.
